    No, I'm saying if Harden was a better player, he wouldn't have quit on the team all the times he did, possibly leading to better results. Also, he doesn't force CP3 out and force a Westbrook trade that destroyed the team.

    Have you predicted Miami going to the finals last year?

    I get that, and no, Harden couldn't affect the health of others, but was here 8 years, not 1. While that CP3 injury hurt, so did Harden missing 11 3's in game 7, so did the entire team giving up after losing the only leader on the court.

    How about Harden quitting against the Spurs the year before that?

    He's much better suited in his current role riding KD's coattails.

    None of those guys are currently all stars or playing like an allstar.

    None of those guys will make the all star team this year.

    Most of these jokers in here don’t give a Fck about this team. They’re clearly inconvenienced Harden only fans that haven’t migrated to the Nets forum yet.

    When did we become LA? Shyt is pitiful. harden is playing the way in Brooklyn I wish he played here. Not hero ball but team ball. oh well, move forward. I do t need an superstar to enjoy Houston rockets basketball. As long as we have cornerstones who play hard and the right way and progress I’m content

    The chances of getting a player with Harden's level of skill are very low. The chances of getting a player with that level of skill who also has the personality of a true leader — a LeBron — are that much lower. We're lucky to have gotten Harden. If you find another LeBron, let me know.

    That's easy to do when you have KD as your teammate.

    Nothing wrong with not believing in a terrible owner. Breaks my heart actually.

    So he’s a bad person for wanting to play with Durant & Kyrie when the owner here doesn’t want to spend anymore & went cheap on everything? Umkay:rolleyes:
