who said it's THAT easy? but it's certainly within reasonable reach. last time i checked, toronto, who has several former rockets with lowry and scola, is doing just fine. their standing in the east is #2 right now. and they dont have mega stars at harden's caliber.
Lowry has turned into one of the top pg's in the league. Derozan is an all star. They're more than capable of have success. Are they not supposed to be doing well just because they're not considered "mega stars". They are very much stars in their own right and are the better players in this league.
Woefully out of shape Defense is atrocious Attitude is sulky Choice of companionship is terrible to say the least. Celebrity more important to him that his game. I won't shed one tear if we trade him while his value is high
I shed tears when Steve Francis was traded. I was crushed how Tmac was mishandled. This Harden guy, means nothing to me.
We have one star, Toronto has two. If the Rockets actually had a second star we'd be a much much better team. We've lost a LOT of close games of late in the final minutes. I think Harden is gassed at the end. This team has been disappointing, but their play post all-star break has been much better.
