    Ok who are you why should I care about your disrespect? Your post just proves my point just stop.

    Disrespectful to the team from the start thats why the Rox were always a playoff team with James Harden on the squad lulz.

    And yes I'm happy to see him go. Not a leader and always disappeared when it counted in the playoffs.

    I'm talking about this year I don't care about the past he got paid handsomely for it. He didn't show up for practices, he put himself and those around him in danger by not wearing a mask and he badmouthed the team. You just stop. I have just as much a right to say what I want as you do. If it hurts your feelings tough. Learn to deal with it. Harden's gone, he has moved on and we have moved on.

    Sure, but in the likely scenario where Brooklyn is a contender anyway (i.e. the pick is bad regardless), I will definitely root for Harden to win a championship over the Lakers or Bucks or Clippers.

    For one, Harden winning a championship would vindicate the success he had in Houston. If he loses, history will remember him mostly as a ball-hog scorer who couldn't win, which I don't think is entirely fair or accurate. If Harden retires a champion, his success in Houston (scoring records, MVP, 65 win team, etc.) will be remembered more than if he doesn't win a ring. See Drexler in Portland. AFAIK, Drexler is still well regarded in Portland, despite asking for a trade under circumstances very similar to the Harden trade.

    Thank you Harden for being a b****.
    For quitting on the team and not even giving Silas and the team a chance.


    Thank you for trading Cp3 for Russ and a bunch of picks. Thank you for not waiting until the trade deadline to see if Chris was healthy which he seemed healthier and ready just before the trade.
    mans thank you for not winning one 1 game only one more game against the warriors. Yes the refs were atrocious but you also whine and complained all game long instead of focusing and trying to win at any cost.

    For those times when you quit during the game or you had a party or went to the strip club the day before.

    And thank you for giving us 8 good years
    Thank you but no thanks for quitting just 9 games in actually you gave up before the start of the season.

    thank you and bye.

    Thank you Harden for those 8 years you gave us. That being said, Nets picks more important now so I hope the Nets all fail miserably somehow.

    I truly believe if not for Tilman and his cheapness Harden and Morey would still be here. Maybe even CP3 if we had spent money in the 18 off-season. Harden wanted to retire a Rocket but our trash owner made contending impossible.

    Yeah look as shitty as the situation now is its been a hell of a ride. Absolutely loved the basketball player, not a fan at all of the person and way hes gone about things. How much of that is related to the owner though we will never truly know

    That's not his job that's on the front office for allowing it. If my company allowed me to I'd like to get paid 10 times my salary without doing any work.

    If you think everything that went wrong is his fault then everything that went right including top 1 in 2017 and perennial playoff appearances is due to him as well. What top talents and picks are you talking about? Rockets have always been a playoff particpant they havent got a top pick since Rudy Gay.

    It was a great 8 years of cheering for an unconventional, awesome NBA team. Thanks, James. It didn't end the way we wanted, but it was a good ride.

    HardenBooBoo has left the building.

    He is/was a great scorer.

    He did all he could which is not a ring.

    Nope, can't do it. Not thanking him day-of trade after he questioned everyone but himself, entitled diva left Rockets a mess. I want to wish him well, but not feeling it. Ten years from now it'll be difficult to remember much about him except that he scored a lot and led us to our best regular season record, then left like a btch. I'm okay that others are more gracious today.

    When we played the warriors or lakers
    His counterparts played much better in the playoffs

    Dort should have never been able to guard him

    There's a good chance that most people posting on CF will never see someone this good in a Rockets uni for the rest of their lives. So if you're angry, go ahead and be angry. Get it out and move on from the negativity. Eventually I hope you can come around to appreciating the greatness we saw for so many years.

    Would have had better chances of he didn't destroy our roster and draft capital year after year.
