Hey I hear you. There was lots of blame to go around in the early going and it seemed as if Harden and Jones were getting 99% of it. Almost everyone couldn't hit a 3 even though they were wide open looks. But over the 2nd half of the games played so far this season everyone has picked up the shooting.
LMAO! and the EXACT SAME ASSESSMENT couldn't be said of Harden? Yet one you defend - and the other you rag on... Gawd the irony! LMAO!
OK? Ariza isn't exactly a franchise player he's only making 7M why are you putting him on the same standard as Harden and Howard? 7M is really good bench money, Even if Ariza couldn't score just his above average D is good enough to be paid his 7M salary.
My standard is the same for everyone. Are you contributing positively to the team? Yes, cool you can stay. Are you not contributing positively to the team? No, you need to go. There were no points in the season where Howard and Harden were not atleast "good" players, and positives on the court. Yes, there were bad games, here and there, but still highly positive impact players. The same cannot be said for Ariza. For a good chunk of the season he was bad defensively and offensively.
hmm yes, we hold the same standards for harden and tjones. so if tjones has a 15pts/8rebs/2assts game, it's great; when harden does the same, it's also a great game for the self-claimed "best player in the league", eh? by your bullcrap "standards", are there gonna be 5 rockets left from the beginning of the season to even form a lineup?
I did appreciate him guarding Davis at the start of the game the other night. He did well, too. On Davis!
Wut? Mchale got fired because Harden was playing like crap, it's not like he was amazing all the time c'mon. And again Ariza is making half of what Harden is he is a role player, the expectations for him should be less than someone like Harden or Howard.
What the heck is this guy spewing? Any and every player on this team has been bad at least for one or two games.
Yeah Hardin was losing games even having triple doubles because he is such a sieve on Defense and he needed to trust his teammates, got Smoove the catalyst for improved ball movement. That should work a little
Harden is a high scoring machine. Superstars play both endsbofthe court! There was a reason why the lineup of Josh Smith, Ariza, Brewer, Terry, Dwight won us game 6 against the Clippers.
