    I'm perfectly fine supporting any argument that equates TMZ to Idiocy.

    Watch to love???... Well I watch as a fan to root for my team for which I do love... so yeah... sure why not? I watch the Rockets as a fan because I love the Rockets.

    Oh... Haha, unfortunately a lot of posters here are watching them to lose. I don't get it, I mean I'd think having your team win/players do well vs proving a point would be good enough for them...

    I'm definitely with you though, even though this is a ****ty season I'm not going to root against my hometown team! I've been waiting for another championship since 95 I can wait a little longer. I mean at least our team isn't the Clippers or 76ers... I feel a lot could soon be going right soon for the 2nd half or even next season.

    Did everyone watch to hate last year, when many here thought Harden deserved MVP? Instead of chalking it up to idiocy, did you think that maybe the backlash is deserved? Or do you not notice any lazy play, poor defense, and a lack of self-reflection on Harden's part? At what point is it okay to say, "I'm not a big fan of this guy?"

    ppls watch a sport or a team (or a player in some cases) because they love that sport or that team. they have passion for it.

    i've never met or known anyone who would watch a game because s/he "hate" that sport or team. logically, it doesnt make any seanse, either.

    so pls, dont invent some fancy notions like ppls "watch to hate" or watch to see a team lose. why would they?

    you and other poster were talking about "hating" on harden. not the rockets as a team. so i asked you if you watch to love harden.

    you came back saying you watch to love the rockets the team. lol.

    now a simple question for you. harden has had many bad plays that hurt the team, esp. this yr. now when see that, do you still watch to love him as a rocket?

    ...because no defense is played.

    So because

    I want Harden to lead by example, i'm a Hater..

    I want Harden to play on both ends of the floor i'm a Hater...

    I want Harden to put the team first, instead of his own personal stats I'm a Hater..

    I have no problem with the team trading an immature Harden for talent that wants to win and play hard, I'm a Hater...

    They I will wear that title well..

    I'm more concerned about the Rockets than about Harden's stats, feelings or his fan base..

    Actually it's more like having a Lamborghini and then complaining it's expensive, it can't tow your boat, it gets poor gas mileage, and it's not comfortable to sit inside.

    "But but but, I guess I just have higher standards for cars"

    Appreciate it for what is and stop complaining about it isn't.

    Considering Blake has been better than Harden this year, I'll go with Yugo

    It's not the start of the season anymore.


    He's had a poor first half of the season, it'll turn around any day now.

    So, coaches reward winning when they vote for reserves. Replace Harden with 2nd best SG in the league, lets say Jimmy Buttler. Do Rockets have more wins this season than now? Lawson would probably be playing like he was in Denver and would run this team.
    I think the answer is yes. We'd have more wins. That means, according to me, that Harden is preventing this team from winning, so he shouldn't be an all-star this season.

    thats true. its just the first half of the season. he was just getting a feel of the game. figuring out everyone's strengths and weaknesses. making sure there's no strip clubs he hasnt hit up. its a new half of the season now. he'll come out strong this time. i can feel it

    You begin a sentence with "Only idiots"

    well fans have the right to love or hate players....fanhood or fandome is not a job

    Defense is the most important aspect of team basketball

    His only flaw does make him the weakest link among stars and superstars
