The “give me Harden over FVV” takes are embarrassing

    He's having a good year, the conversation with us was never whether he can with you a playoff series etc, it was that last little hump he always seem to have a mini seizure in, particularly the clutch in the post season. Ironically, he would be pretty good on this team. Don't know if our other players would have developed with his ball stopping though

    James Harden is f*cking legend. A Houston legend.

    Put some f*cking respect on his name.

    he’s truly mastered the game offensively and knows how to control a game with surgical precision

    I can only imagine just how good a SL of

    Harden
    Green
    Amen
    Bari
    Sengun

    would’ve been with Brooks and Tari off the bench

    Clippers were projected to finish no higher than 12th in the WC this season by all betting markets and sports sites like ESPN, Yahoo Sports, CBS sports, etc

    they finished 5th in the WC with 50 wins

    Kawhi didn’t even play 40 games this year

    the impact in undeniable

    many NBA fans would have someone like KD as a much better player than Harden, yet put Harden in PHX with Booker and they’d be a definite playoff team

    The game tonight only made me wonder if only Morey had drafted Kawhi instead of a certain bum. We could've had Harden + Kawhi in their primes just dominating everyone.

    One of the greatest floor raisers this game has ever seen, if not THE greatest.

    Fred gets so much credit for this, but I am not really sure I believe it when I see the interviews and podcasts w Fred. I think that whole rhetoric is pushed by Rockets media to justify his contract. I recall Fred saying during a podcast how Reed is constantly asking questions, and his answer is just watch me. Thats it, he says he doesn't really tell them a lot he does take them to dinners though and teaches them about the media and how to handle off court NBA things. I think CP3 at a fraction of the cost would have been far more impactful than Fred on the young guys. CP actually teaches young guys, if you look at how he speaks to them in his camps and youth teams he is giving actual direction from experience, he doesn't just say watch me.

    I think Harden taking Reed to strip clubs would have helped him more than Fred telling him to just watch him play. Harden could have taught Reed not to be so passive. I think a lot of you are forgetting how smart Harden actually is, he is top 3 in the league when it comes to understanding the game w guys like Lebron and CP3. There is a reason he is able to play at a high level at this age and why guys like Carmelo and Westbrook fall off. I thought FVV was the right signing at the time, but now that we have seen two years of production, I no longer believe that. Harden likely would have warned Jalen about all of his baby mommas too, Harden has mostly dodged those scenarios. Even his one son that he has he has managed to keep out of the media. There is a lot Harden could have taught the young guys on and off the court.

    Imagine calling one of the greatest playmaker/floor raiser to play for the rockets a bum simply because he never won it all,

    What are you on your second or third burner account? Is salivating over harden’s knob (btw..he doesn’t give a **** about you..or knows you exist) some sort of compensation for a sad existence?

    focus on yourself and stop worshiping people. It’s pathetic

    why you only show your mug when harden has a bad game

    when jj watt was a noshow in the playoffs all the time none of you houstonians gave him any lip, but was always willing to throw the lesser athlete under the bus to protect zaddy. The love harden is getting on the clippers is so refreshing really wish he played his entire career there, they dont allow you trolls to post on their clippers message boards dissing james like this cesspool of a site has done for years. Not gonna lie it may not be fair, but i wish the absoulte worst for the rockets and this organization going forward.. i dont even want his jersey retired in houston, sorry bro.. this site for years have had threads talking about prefering fvv over harden. Said harden would be a cancer to the younger players.. smh i might as well stick to watching the fake news espn/fs1/ the ringer than wasting my time getting info over here

    Lol @ getting banned twice on here and still coming back each time all the while carrying multiple burners to post on this “cesspool”. This is your 3rd known account here after being banned twice. If anyone doesn’t know or is wondering he started off as @HardenVolumeOne and came back as @RocketsDraftTV and now @StroudAndYorDaddy. Join date OCT 29 2023. Ain’t nobody joining ClutchFans after a 22 win season…. to deep throat a bum like James Harden …. Except for 1 dipshit. Look at the join date of all those accounts and you only have to check a few posts from each account to know it’s him.

    This fool thinks he’s slick forreal…. This time he made a burner prior to getting banned (so it’s not as obvious) when he throws a b**** fit after Harden chokes in the playoffs and gets eliminated like every summer. @bustamove is his burner account that he uses mostly to like his own posts LOL.

    [​IMG]

    PS …. the Clippers will turn on him soon enough. Just like Brooklyn and Philly did.

    You hating on a Harden fan is so f*cking ironic when your entire persona is based on hating Harden lmao. You're just as big of a fan, bud.

    We get it, Harden stunted the potentially great career of your idol Jeremy Lin, and we're sorry you haven't gotten over it after 10+ years. Maybe one day you'll let it go.

    Nah, probably not. :rolleyes:

    It’s crazy how underrated Harden has been his entire career and especially now. Most casuals still are on the he doesn’t play defense train and he doesn’t pass. It’s wild. Dude is going to retire a top 50 player but gets treated like he is nothing.

    top 25 player to be exact

    harden right now is top 3 in the entire nba in defensive win shares. but because the good ole boys are doing the voting he won't get a single all-defensive vote. harden right now has more defensive win shares than offensive win shares

    but.. but.. HAREN dont play defense smh

    Man legit carried the Clippers to the playoffs. If it was any other player, they would have missed it. Kawhi was gone half the season and the clippers were able to ease his way back into playing form bc of harden.

    Folks will hate on harden bc of his playoff failures but history will b kind to this man due to his greatness and consistency. He could end up one of the greatest to never win it all.

    If we don't win it all, I'm rooting for harden to do well. Man is 36 years old and is still a better player than fvv will ever be.

    The way you talk about FVV he has already won in the bball realm.

    Harden was what....the 3rd pick, and FVV was what undrafted.

    To frequently tear down an undrafted player for someone who was NBA royalty since he joined the Rockets (admittedly not the face like Lebron from Day 1).......speaks for itself.
