    What are you a LOF? :rolleyes:

    Monta Ellis at age 23: 19 pts, 3.7 assists, 4.3 rebs, 50.3 TS%
    Harden at age 23: 25.9 pts, 5.8 assists, 4.9 rebs, 60.0 TS%

    LOL Harden scored 6 pts higher and had 10% TS percentage. PS, you don't look at FG% and 3p% because that doesn't account the fts Harden gets in a game. That efficiency is what separates a superstar like Harden or LBJ from pretenders like Melo or Ellis. More importantly Ellis put up 25 pts playing 4 more minutes a game than Harden does.

    Good question

    Dwight Howard of Orlando > Dwight of Houston
    Hedo Turkoglu > Parsons
    Rashard Lewis > Donatas/Jones
    Harden > Lee
    Lin/Beverly = Jameer/Alston

    Magic Coach > Mchale

    So I vote the Magic as they win in 4 categories, we win in 1 and tie another

    BUT we are young so should improve over time

    First off wtf is an LOF? Either way Harden may become a superstar, but he does not have the medals to call himself one yet. Sorry but I don't care what you have done. If you have not been the man on a team that has at the very least got through the first round then you are not yet a superstar. He maybe on his way but he is not **** yet in that category. Get out of the first round and then we can start talking superstar.

    Bet against James Harden, PLEASE. Everyone did last year, saying he wouldn't cut it as a starter going against other starters, without other, REAL, superstars to take the focus of other teams away from him.

    And look how that turned out. Please doubt Harden some more. Call him slow, call him fat, tell him that he's just another Monta Ellis, that he's already hit his peak and will produce numbers like that again.

    Because I can tell you that hate is what fuels these guys. People telling them they're no good, that they can't do what they set out to do. Us Rocket fans can reap the reward of haters like you and then bask in the unabashed joy of winning while you fake fans show your true colors and come to the bittersweet realization of knowing you doubted the Rockets before jumping on the bandwagon too late.

    You're right he totally took his team to an 8th seed and barely making the playoffs followed by a first round exit. Take that haters!

    I can't wait for the season to start so rockets fans can get back down to earth. You know that place where dwight complains about media pressuring him with questions, about how james harden can't score points against descents defenses, how Jeremy Lin is worse than Jose Calderon on defense, and Chandler Parson's is busy fixin his hair to care about the direction of the team.

    you know, reality.

    now I'm biased, being a Rocket fan, but I still think, honestly, that this is an awful thread. ;)

    If only Morey didnt let Dragic go. He is a great off the ball player and a good fit to play with James Harden

    We agree. The Knicks, Nets, and Sixers in the early 2000s were obviously superior to us.

    Webber's Kings, Jailblazers, Nash's Suns, Dirk's Mavs

    Last I checked Dirk's Mavs won a title in 2011 and 2011 is considered early 2000's. In fact it's 2013 which is still early 2000's.

    That Hedo + Rashard + Dwight combo was just a matchup nightmare. Talent wise we're better but that matchup caused huge problems.
