    How are customers ever entitled? Without us, there would be no NBA and Houston Rockets. Keep on sucking on the teat of multi-millionaires who receive their millions playing a sport.

    You need some god damn perspective son.

    No you don't....

    You need guys who give their ALL on both ends of the floor... Who play as a TEAM on both ends of the floor. And who know their role..

    Morey can bring you 15 roles players who will play hard on both ends of the floor and they will get embarrassed by Warriors.

    Its sort of weird that the Rockets squad with the most potential is the one that lost me... I was there through out Steve Francis,T-Mac,Yao, Steve Martin?.... All these different eras and I wouldn't miss a single game... This is the first time I have ever stopped caring. I rarely watch the games, its not because I want to harm the NBA or The Rockets... Its because I stopped caring, when they did. I'm not paying an absurd amount of money to watch our team get ridiculed on the court every night. I'm not paying to have the NBA itself call bs calls and clearly target some of our players. I'm not paying to watch Barkley enjoy The Rockets struggle. I'm done for now.....

    Harden played well last night, therefore nobody cares.

    Didn't watch the game but just looking at the box score, he should have hogged the ball more. He could have won MVP.

    He did all right, but his game isn't conducive to an All Star Game. He is not flashy, just effective. He's not a high flyer like Westbrook, LeBron, or DeRozan. He's not a maestro with the ball like Curry or Paul. He's not going to barrel into the lane drawing fouls in the ASG. All he has in an ASG setting is the threes, and step backs.

    the plays must have been extremely difficult to execute with the lock down defense being displayed last night.

    man.. if KD comes to Houston, they can pretty much draw their own plays... just need a good defensive coach.

    Is anyone really surprised that Harden is so adept at drawing up plays? We all know that neither McHale or JBB can draw up a play if their life depended on it AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO IT at least on occasion.

    Heck, JBB is still learning how to call time outs and set up a real (or consistent) rotation. He's had his hands full.

    If YOU give no effort, then that's on YOU. You can blame Harden for a lot of things, but if you have no balls or heart, then YOU have no balls or heart.

    That's not on Harden.

    James Harden would be happy to draw up some more plays for Durant if he would join the Rockets in free agency. :)

    If he couldn't play well in a game with literally no defense, then he shouldn't be in the NBA. If you are a guard in the All-Star game and receive enough minutes, you have no excuse scoring more than 20 or dishing 10+.

    They did not get to hog the rock that much ....

    We knew that Harden was Top 3 offensive talent in the league

    and in an Allstar game where the guys put up 190 pts or more lol

    23 is nothing but congrats to James

    good but nothing spectacular from him, could have at least gotten 20-10-10

    Still trying to see what the difference is too what's going on now....

    I would rather have 15 guys out their busting their @$$ and giving everything they have then 15 guys who are so divided they are embarrassing this city and this organization.
