    It's simple, if Harden goes down with a significant injury ----- you tank. On purpose or not. #NoChoice

    Shut down Harden? How does one go about doing that? Tell him that he's done for the year?

    Come on man.

    Harden has 2 maybe 3 years left of his prime before he declines. Shutting down the reigning MVP at his peak and wasting a year of his precious prime sounds brilliant.

    If you really want to tank then do it right and trade him.

    Tank! Are you guys serious? I live in Las Vegas and I travel all over to see the rockets play. Seen them in Charlotte, Atlanta, Toronto. Miami, Los Angeles, Phoenix, New Orleans, etc. and yes Houston too. This is an entertainment business. I could spend my money on a cruise or a trip to Europe or whatever, but I choose to see the Rox play because this is what I like. Now you want me to spend hundreds on airfare and hotels and food in your city and buy tickets to the game but have the team not even try to win? Get real...you have to always play your best.

    Looked at the thread title.

    Thought...who the hell would start a thread like this.

    Saw the thread starter's moniker - not surprised.

    Some people just continue to make extremely low-quality posts.

    I would take the cruise this season, it's not going to be a decent enough season.

    I dun think we tank this season, and I dun need to be a clairvoyant to say that.

    Next season is another story.

    I think we should just trade Harden and Paul and rebuild around MCW and Capela.

    How about we trade Capela too and rebuild around MCW and Chriss? Even better imo.

    Does Adidas pay $200 million dollars to James Harden to sit out the season, what about Fans Paying his Salary, TV Ratings, Commercials.

    You're definitely not going to extend his prime by playing him 43 minutes a night because Capela and Gordon are total trash.

    Yes, Capela and Gordon are total trash.

    We need a new, bigger eye-roll emoji.

    They've regressed considerably. If they actually played to their level, Harden would've at least won one game without Chris Paul this year.
