    It's going to be years depending on if any of these young Rockets can become household names and get preferences in the way the game is called their way. Can't win otherwise.

    Harden never disappoint you at choking in playoffs. Which team can win championship with Harden? I don’t know.

    Harden's going to get traded to the Harlem Globetrotters and lead them to their first loss against the Generals

    i'm in a text chain with some people (mostly warriors fans cause i'm in the bay), but i said that philly should have sat embiid and harden after joel tore his finger, and get the surgery ASAP instead of just wasting time. One he was injured they were at 0.00% title odds so why not get it fixed and have a longer offseason

    One things clear.. He'll never be the 1st option again... May need to stick to being a pass 1st PG to prolong a "productive " career.. He's easily a top 5 pg if he changes his game and mindset .. He can average 20/10 easily but teams better stay away if they're expecting a game-changer...

    As they say, "If it's dead, bury it."

    There is plenty of hater feeding available here.

    I think we can all agree that Olajuwon's status as the greatest Rocket ever was never in real jeopardy.

    That was a worthless press conference from James.

    We'll see what happens next year I guess. When it starts, we'll see what he looks like. He's gonna have a whole off season and it looks like he's opting in.

    Morey will find a way to trade him mid season if its like this.

    He's still the second greatest and there is nothing anybody can do about it.

    That’s weird considering I see an overweight bearded bum walking the ball up the court and dominating that ball until it’s lifeless every possession.

    Harden fanbois…. quit trying to figure out the recipe to Harden winning a Championship. It’s never going to happen. You guys waste year after year after year after year of holding on to false hope that he’s gonna magically get it done. No!

    Doc may have to play some minutes next year if that's the case

    ya i know, nobody is forward thinking enough or secure enough in their jobs, but if the goal is to maximize your title odds, it's a no brainer
