    The clippers will not want to play against aggressive defenders......especially, George and Harden - if they don't answer our energy, we will get up on them and they will fold.....

    But, you just know Harden wants to break out - I just wonder who is playing Harden, if it is Green, he needs to stay focused.

    Five days between games is just ridiculous, felt like an eternity since we last played.
    Checked and Rockets have 14x B2Bs, but that is the league average, guess we'll have way above average 3 games in 4 nights.

    If u like the Rockets u learn to move on, u don't need to contribute to the trashing of a former rockets great. I don't follow harden or watch any games since he left doesn't mean I have to have a hate boner whenever I speak of him. Man spent good years playing for us and earned his right to have his jersey retired, folks acting like Rockets harden is the same as the present day harden.

    I just find it weird for folks to say they are Rocket fans and proceed to sht on the dude who has his jersey hanging on our rafters.

    Oh you move on, but that doesn't mean you forget what a bum Harden was and is. You might see his jersey hanging in the rafters, but you don't see any championship banners from that time BECAUSE Harden was always and is still a bum.

    The best thing he ever did for the Rockets franchise was destroy yet another franchise after he left here so that the Rockets might get some solid picks.

    Just because you support an organization doesnt mean you blindly ignore what the elements within it are about.
    Harden was great and worthy of praise up to a certain point, then he came a liability and a self absorbed egomaniac.

    Yeah, just because someone had a nice 8 years for the franchise and has dumped Brooklyn, Philly and about to dump the Clippers......he is not off limits.

    The off the court stuff were there and easy to overlook....coming late to practices, film sessions, coming late to road trips, late night at strip clubs in various cities.

    Cannot control his eating .....he is sometimes fat and sometimes in shape.

    Harden may have lost a step or two, but he has an immense amount more experience. He can be tricky.
    Yes, Green needs to be alert.

    Typically, Dillon guards the opponents best offensive player. Wonder who that will be?
    George?

    Whoever guards Westbrook can help on everyone else. Let the man have his 3s.

    So fking stupid if all those years of harden playing for us and that's what u think his greatest contribution to our franchise was.
    So much hate, since 1995 harden was the only one who got us anywhere close to sniffing a ring. Like I said we each have our own way of supporting the Rockets, yours is shtting on a Rockets great to make yourself feel better.
