    Pfft acting like mathloom represent all of Rockets Fandom. Man is a bigger Jalen stan than me (of course) but it clouds his judgement.
    His thoughts are only how fvv benefits green and doesn't see the big picture as a rockets fan, since he's mainly focused on green.

    Fvv sucks at playmaking. His defense isn't even that good either.

    Our offense is vanilla as fk, due to the limitations of our playmaker. If u treat both harden and fvv as a bandaid until we get our future pg, fvv is way inferior aside from "culture". Harden sets everybody up while fvv defers which is mainly beneficial to only green development.

    Folks are stuck in the past butthurt about hardens moves but no fking way is fvv better for the squad vs harden playmaking wise.

    It's a bunch of what it's, but calling folks stupid for wanting one of the best playmaker to grace to court over a guy who can't even run a fast break/throw alley oops is funny.

    It’s all about context and those clamouring for Harden and wanting FVV gone seem to ignore that. That is why this is embarrassing, silly and “stupid”

    40 mil to put a stat line of 7/7/7 with most mins and most whiffs at the 3 pt line.

    Mf almost cost us this game but harden is a "choker".

    Making playoffs is already hard enough, this fool is making it harder

    The problem with FVV is, when he shoots poorly he keeps on bricking. At least Harden has the self-awareness most of the time to start passing instead of pretending he's Kobe. FVV did this in Toronto too and their fans hated him for it.

    As I said I watch all clippers games too and Harden with the Rockets would have Sengun looking like an MVP and he'd be throwing half court alley oops to Jalen. The Rockets effed up by getting Fred instead of him. He doesn't look to score like he once did he mostly wants to pass now. He only scores on with the Clippers when he has to especially with leonard out.

    I definitely like Harden more than Fred but Fred was best for this team as far as mentorship. Harden would've set the wrong example and would've bumped heads with Ime

    I just think the time for Harden ball is over. I think it would be cool if Harden retired as a 6th man on the Rockets, going full circle.

    FVV finally pushing tempo in a good way, getting to the basket and hitting shots again. This shows his value to those who don’t see the defense.

    Udoka finally woke up and designated Sengun to be the playmaker. Now Freddie can shoot open shots rather than jack up rushed shots.

    Oddly, James Harden is playing decent defense this year with Jeff Van Gundy in LA. Its not much a stretch for Harden to play D under Ime.

    Its more about what teammate Harden would hold back on offense. He'd be impeding on Jalen Green's game, both are high usage players. Though lessening Jalen to more off-ball wouldnt be bad, if we're honest. (There will never be a lineup of Harden WITH Van Vleet for financial reasons, but that would be something). Past that, not saying anything new. I think Harden instead of FVV would be a little more W/L success, but team culture might suffer

    Didn't know you're out here gossiping about me.

    What on the holy F are you talking about, how does FVV benefit Green only? He's a shooter who's extremely safe with the ball, that's good for everyone around him.

    I like James Harden more than Jalen Green dumbass. But I like the rockets more than all 3 of them combined.

    Don't let my support of a hardworking player cloud your judgement.

    FVV is not the long term answer and neither was Harden. FVV is getting to the rim better than any time in his career. He plays fast in spurts, but when the game gets close he slows it down and hero balls it. Ime should have a quick trigger with FVV when his shot isn’t falling.
