    I wish future Rockets Legend Danuel House was playing on one of these teams.

    CP3 deserves a ring. Wherever he has played he's given it all regardless of how poor the overall team could be. Regarding curse, it's only been 1 season in recent years that the Rockets are lottery-bound. Relax.

    It comes with the territory when you are under a contract. There is nothing sympathetic about it. Requesting for a trade is one thing but a temper tantrum is another.

    Feeling great about it. I'd be ok with any of these teams winning it all, but I'd prefer it be the suns and cp3.

    The Rockets did him so dirty and Harden/tilman deserve to watch cp3 get that ring. Even him just making it to the Finals would be lovely.

    Because he is soft, whinny, arrogant, and is a “DPOY” who guards Harris in the corner instead of taking on KD when they were getting it handed to them in a playoff series.

    And becuase he goes out of his way to weirdly s*** on Harden constantly, even though he couldn’t take a one legged Harden off the dribble with a head of steam.

    uhhh Tilman is a POS, but the FO catered to harden including but not limited to mortgaging their future so he could play "with his friend" . Harden is responsibly for the product rolled out, can't vindicate him

    his game is hideous…absolutely atrocious…can’t shoot, and just runs into guys on offense

    he is unwatchable

    he’s also a dirty player who tries to act all innocent

    You know this how? Every rumor about Harden/Worstbrook wanting out, feuding, etc was just as much BS as those about Paul/Harden feuding. I've heard a million different theories as to why everything happened the way it did, and the truth is none of us can know for sure. But one thing we DO know for sure at this point is that Tilman is everything everyone hates about rich people. He is a cheap f*ck. The theory that he gave up on Chris Paul after a down year at age 33 and wanted Westbrick because he thought he'd sell tickets seems pretty legit to me, especially considering fan perception of both players at the time. Harden listened to Morey, and there is no way Morey was going to let Harden believe that Westbroke was good for this team.

    Harden isn't LeBron calling all the shots behind the scenes. I'm sure the FO consulted him about major decisions, but I highly doubt many of them were his idea.

    Ive despised CP3 for years, only ceased temporarily out of need when he was with the Rockets and then went back free to naturally hating him.
    I see no reason to support him out of pity. he is a dirty cheap player

    The all star game comments, the way he talks about himself, the whining, the media love, they outsized hype. What's to love? He's tall?
