Share some of your favorite Harden memories.

good times, good times

 

The 60 point triple double - it will be years before you see something like that again.

The Unguardable Tour was fun.

Shrug.

As a hardcore Harden fan is it okay if I say he "just wasnt good enough" in the end?

 

I'll remember 27-straight missed 3 pointers

I'll remember the early out against Portland and Lillard

I'll remember him looking like he was strung out on the bench in San Antonio game 6

I'll remember him pushing out Chris Paul for Russell Westbrook, by far my least favorite "all-NBA" player of the past 30 years

(There was plenty of good stuff, but it feels vindicating that people can finally acknolwedge the bad now without denial.)

 

I did like this

 

I'll remember the great connection between Harden and Capela for alley-oops

I'll remember defending Harden against the media and other fans constantly and how that's going to change in New York

 

I was on hours of layovers and flight delays on my way to New Mexico when this happened.

1st thing I did when I made it to the hotel was turn on the game (since it was on TNT) and caught the last few moments.

I slept good that night.

 

3 days before Fertitta bought the Rockets.

So sad.

 

Hope you remember these next fews years in the dumpster

 

Years back watching that mavs YouTuber captain jackass go on rants in his car after harden torched the mavs was great. And that jazz youtuber fan who hates harden was kinda funny as well

but to answer your question I like that harden didn’t load manage. Played through injuries, and never apologized to the media for being true to himself. Harden is his own man. You can meme him, fat shame him.. whatever. But we steps on the court he was a nightmare for opposing teams night in and night out

also remember his 7 blocks in a win a againist the raptors.

and his 56 point game againist the jazz where he had like 43 points in like 25 minutes at one point in that game

 

Basically stood by him every step of the way until the Westbrook trade. From the Pistons game to the I know what we need to do comment, I was all in. Then...

He killed my enjoyment of this team by destroying their assets to play with his friend.

He didn't care in the last year plus about anything but himself. It was over as soon as the Westbrook trade happened.

 

This is exactly my trajectory as well.

 

First two games, saiyan celebration after dunk against Pacers in 2015, between the legs vs Sixers, dropping Wesley. That’s it.

 

There's a lot from his very first game against the pistons, to him going super sayan against the pacers, dunking on the donkey, game winner vs GS over donkey, dropping WJ

 

I really like the 2016-2017 team even though we kinda died against the Spurs.

 

I enjoyed how mad he made some posters on this board with how great he was.

 

There are some truly salty, entitled fans in this thread. You guys didn't know what you had the last eight years, and you're taking it for granted. 55-win seasons with deep playoff runs and perennial MVP contenders don't grow on trees, fellas. If the Rockets win 55 games in a season again this decade, we'll be lucky. Remember the 45-win K-Mart teams? We'll be lucky to get to that level any time soon.

 

Remember Game 6 in the San Antonio series, Rox down 3-2 coming home, and.....lol.....remember it like yesterday....Harden stayed out until 6am at a strip club and came into the game with a Hangover and proceeded to suck.

Good times, good times.

The small what have you done for me lately crowd are a bunch of morons

 

Y’all so bitter. I’m. It happy with the way things ended but it’s done and he’s gone. He wanted to do what he thought what was best to get a ring. It is what it is. Move on. Our window been closed I felt. And harden wasn’t ever returning to 2015-16 form. We’re going to be able to win with D’Antoni style Harden.
