I've been right here kid watching the Rockets for the last four decades. If you are hurt don't play, it's that simple.
What you talking about? Anytime he misses a lay up and doesn't get a whistles he acts like he has a season ending injury laying down on the court. How many times does he do that? It has to be dozens.
what? Yeah James... Get out of this mess... You deserve better after all you’ve done for this team... Strip clubs and all... This man has carried us for years...
I don’t think Harden quit . He’s still trying to adjust to playing with Wall and playing more off the ball .
I agree with this. Harden doesn't want to be here, but we asked him to be a pro and play the games and engage with his teammates, and he's been doing that. The expectation should be for him to play like the all-star that he is. He doesn't have to score 35 points a game and dominate the ball like he did two seasons ago. If he's heading out the door at some point this season, what's the point in asking him to play that way?
If Harden shoots people b****. If he passes people b****. What happened to these all world players he was holding back?
People, like me, expect him to come to work and do his job. Happiness has nothing to do with packing your lunch and working hard. He is binded by a contract and should honor that by playing hard (working hard). No one on CF can relate to having the opportunity to make millions and b**** about where he is playing. Honestly, I am jaded because I got paid **** in the military yet I could not break my contract or ask for a "trade" to a better destination, and I was serving a far greater purpose than Harden. He is a big baby. Shut up and do your job.
Man shut the hell up. You the biggest damn Harden dick rider on this site. Harden never does anything wrong in your eyes. Why is it that Bill, Calvin, and all the other "old" guys like myself and older guys on this site see the $hit but you don't? Like people are picking on Harden just to pick on him, get real dude.
No, he doesn't. He deserves being in a far worse situation, which IMO is what he's likely to end up in if the Rockets dump him as a result of his b****assness. He quit on a team that could be a contender simply because he's not getting his ass kissed anymore. As talented as he is, he's caused the Rockets problems from just about day one due to who he is as a person. He's the reason the best Rockets team in history got broken up, he's the reason the Rockets lost tonight. He's largely the reason why the Rockets kept getting bounced in the playoffs....when the team needs him most, far too often is when he disappears.
i've seen enough rockets small ball to understand that the rockets don't get that inflation of 3 point shooting to offset what they give up in rim protection and rebounding. that "small ball defense" is a façade. and we don't have covington to play meaningful small ball, especially to close a game.
Harden ain’t hurt. Just being/playing like an *******. Yeah, definitely would be sitting out games or playing like an ******* if Mike & Morey were still here. Wahh I want out so I’m gonna go to the clubs 2 days before training camp, delaying my arrival, I’m gonna go to my “homegirls dinner”, I’m gonna pretend I’m hurt and half ass it/quit. Stay tuned to find out what I do next!
Cousins' inability to finish at the basket forced the Rockets to go small, I think. Give some credit to the Pacers defensive bigs, I guess. But Cousins really is a shell of what he once was, it seems.
