    Harden its such an instilling passer that he's second in assists among all non point guards.

    The
    "unwilling" passer.

    This is a man who played third wheel, sixth man, and now go to guy all with effectiveness. He can and will do, well, the role he is asked to take.

    Stop trolling. You're getting these LOF's hopes up.

    Gotta trade the owner as soon as we work out the salary cap issues.

    Harden is better off without the Rockets. ISO is weak. 1v5 all the way! Harden wins 100-99 with 0 shot attempts. #HardenDraws5Fouls.

    Seriously though, Harden could use the rest. He seems tentative lately. Haven't seen much eurostepping since he stepped on Lee's foot.

    Just stop.

    We'd be gunning for the 1st pick in the draft without harden.

    You're comparing Harden to Hakeem? And you're a 1999er. What's the matter with you? :)

    What does LOF's have to do with this? Not sure if you are serious.

    Back to the topic. Harden definitely brings offensive intensity to this team, no doubt. When he doesn't hold the ball for 19-20 seconds at the top of the 3 point line, he is great. His ability to get inside and finish is amazing, and so is his passing skills. However, he really needs to pick up on his defense and communication on the floor when playing defense. But for now, he is definitely making this team a better team compared to when he is out.

    Are the Rockets better with the pluralism of the word Rocket.

    Can we just be the Houston Rocket. Implying one heart, one soul, one ship, one boat.

    Well, if Harden is out, it means more playing time, touches and shot attempts for Lin which will make LOF's cream themselves as they see there hero jack up bricks left and right.

    Why is this even a topic? Harden obviously makes the team better. He just sucks at defence and ball movement. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a HOF/HOH

    I honestly don't think his defence is 'terrible, terrible' like some of you are saying and the dude steals a lot that make up for his gambles. The bigs should step him if he gets beat, that's the nature of the game. Sure he's not an elite defender like Michael, Paul or Kobe, but that takes time to develop.

    His ball movement on the other hand is mind numbing.
