    Reeko you are what people call an enabler.

    You can come up with excuse after excuse but NO team (having Harden as the lead dog) WILL EVER WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP!!

    He knows it and thus why he's wanting a trade!!

    no, I am what they call a facts provider

    Rockets would’ve won the title in 2018 if his co-star in CP3 didn’t get injured, so there goes that weak and tired argument.

    Sigh........dude, if you didnt watch the playoffs, you didnt watch them, just say so. He played Schroder very well, better than Roco. He also played Cp3 very well, better than Roco.

    AD is a 7 footer, if you are settling for mid range fallaways on someone you have 5 inches over, that is a problem....use your head.

    Harden and Westbrook both suggested Silas for the job... after Lue went back to LA.

    Anyone that thinks the unhappiness of WB and JH is just because of the coaching search is overly simplistic.

    Did Harden win some championships I forgot about? No? He isn’t worth all this. He is good, but he isn’t that good. Probably one of the 5th to 10th best players. Maybe even less if you believe the media.

    It may seem like it but I personally am not trying to diminish harden by any means.

    Imho it is just time for all parties to move on.

    No more trying to hash it out
    No more trying to convince harden of anything
    No more of anything

    Trade him to Philly for Simmons

    And let’s start the season.

    Maybe both of you are right.

    So you're a man of "facts" are you?

    People get hurt, CP wasn't in game 7, is your boy SO weak that he goes 2 of THIRTEEN from 3 with FIVE FREAKING TO?

    What do the refs and CP not being on the court have to do with Harden's performance??

    Reeko keep making excuses for your boy!!

    Guys like Hakeem, MJ, Bird, Magic and I can go on and on GET IT DONE AT CRUNCH TIME!!

    Harden wants to be traded to Philly or Brooklyn???

    The media and fans would CRUCIFY his lame ass for coming up short WHEN IT MATTERS THE MOST!!

    What excuse do you have for him when he WET THE BED against the Spurs in game 7 when they didn't even have Kwai?

    Keep the EXCUSES coming!!

    Harden is a lot better defender than you think and team player than you think. The reality is it could easily be many decades before the Rockets get a player comparable to Harden.

    Having said that, it is possible that the relationship cannot be repaired and Harden isn’t 25 years old anymore.

    Do you recall what happened when Ralph Sampson got hurt then ejected from the 1986 Finals?

    Olajuwon could not beat the Celtics on his own.

    I feel for Silas. He has really impressed me with his poise and his approach to a broken team. Give a guy at least one chance before you mope and ruin your legacy.

    And rockets could also get very lucky and find somebody better. Possibly like Simmons who is really a decent jump shot away from being all world.

    Good advice.

    Tilman Fertitta will ensure that 2020-2021 season continues to be a marathon of misery rather than a sprint.

    Why pull that bandaid quickly, when he can slowly saw off the whole arm and sell it to illegal organ harvesters.

    You are dull.

    “Players get hurt”.... yeah, well one of the top 5 point guards of all time don’t often get hurt in the NBA Finals against possibly the greatest team assembled.

    You don’t like Harden, we get it... but you are to the point of absurdity.

    It was Curry’s fault that the Warriors lost to the Raptors with KD out..It wasn’t LeBron’s fault that the Cavs lost to the Warriors after Love had Injuries.

    You can get angry all you want but you are lacking logic.

    Well don’t bring up that up then because nobody knows what would of happened.

    So it’s all irrelevant
