    All we hear is garbage about how young he is.

    I agree, if Harden was even decent we win both of these games.

    That's not what this is about though. A reporter asked the same question multiple times to a player that just lost a tough game...and people are mad that he showed emotion...

    If he shows no emotion I guarantee you people will have said "He doesn't care."

    If he blamed himself...then we've been down that road before with Tmac...

    So there really is no point in me arguing this anymore. People will twist it into whatever they want it to be.

    lol...


    How old is Patrick Beverly...? One year older and already showing greater internal fortitude.... Saw his face when he fouled out during game 1...? Kid hates letting his team down... But, that's right... it's not a matter of age... It's a matter of mindset...

    He doesn't need the media to be hard on him... He's hard on himself... All champions are... Unfortunately for Bev, he lacks the talent to complement that attitude... Where as Harden lacks the mentality and heart...

    And, really...? Spoiled douche bags...? Are we in LA...? Have we accumulated so many championships in our history that we unrealistically expect to be in the finals every year...?


    Where are you even coming from with this post...?

    I wouldn't call it turning on him but pi22ed that he played like he didn't give a fu3k. And he should get the blame for both of these loses. This is not the James Harden that everybody is accustom to. Where is the heart and the fight we have seen since day 1 as a Rocket.

    Mcgrady once said "It's on me" or "I will impose my will on someone." after losing a game. What Harden said was "We lost because we sucked ass on defense, and I am too good on offense to play any defenses for the team".

    He was a key contributor to a team that went all the way to the NBA finals. He has dealt with more pressure at 24 than most max guys do in their entire career. Houston fans need to take a deep breath and realize that Harden is the best thing we have going for us. His shot has been off, but there is absolutely no way we are going to beat Portland allowing Aldridge into his comfort zone the way that we have. Harden is absolutely right. If we don't get stops and get out into transition, we are going to lose.

    The biggest news here is that Harden does not know who Fran Blinebury is and who he works for.

    I would be insulted if I were Fran.

    Anybody calling a 5th yr pro getting paid max money and who's been on a much bigger stage where he also came up short (the NBA Finals) a kid is just delusional.

    Just another case of i got paid syndrome. We could all see the weight harden has put on since he signed with houston and it has effected him a ton, mostly defensively. He is no longer able to blow by his opponent with that first step.

    No one will call him out because this is a players league which is what the league wants. Teams cant run their teams the way they want and if they try to their max players want out and there is nothing you can do about it.

    for real. Lots of haters in this thread and you can tell who the fans are and who are the pretenders.

    I wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with you haters. this is funny and remember these threads are all searchable. You haters suck at life and would turn your back on your own grandma and the slightest moment of adversity. I am ashamed of you on behalf of the rockets.

    wow.

    now when we lose 4 games and get beat them come on here and dance you turds.

    Lin's contract is a bargain compared to this 80 million dollar flop specialist...looks like OKC made the right call after all, they knew he was a lazy, casual, strip club seeking tool....having said that, im just frustrated so ill reserve judgement until the series is over

    Great post and thanks for saying it so we don't have to. What we saw was clear, and I don't think we are being unfair with our expectations. His demeanor said a lot more than his shooting %.

    Fran was ahead of his time. He was trolling long before the term trolling became part of the vernacular.
