    I thought the Josh Smith "why did we sign him again" thread was horrible. This one takes the cake. WOW

    I have never seen the pendulum swing so drastically. We need to be patient. Not too high, not too low.
    Go Houston Rockets!

    Also, Texans need to trade J.J. Watt while his value is at an all time high.

    Sure. Trade a potential MVP after one bad game. Just like the Rockets should've traded Dream back in 1992 to the Heat or Clippers.

    Of all the stupid and ill-timed posts I have ever seen pop up on the board, this is truly the worst.

    9 Turnovers is not good and is probably the worst he will do all season. Meanwhile he still was effective in keeping us in the game.

    There were 15 other turnovers by people who don't handle the ball.

    Who cares? We added 2 new players to our top 7. There was going to be a game or two sacrificed to figuring it out for the greater good.

    I do absolutely agree with the point about Dragic though.

    according to nba 2k15 player ratings (which is absolutely the most accurate metrics for this kind of stuff... you have to trust me on this one)

    1. lebron james - 97
    2. kevin durant - 95
    3. james harden - 93

    james ****ing harden has the third highest rating in 2k15

    Harden value will be high for the next 10 years baring any injuries. His game will age because of his craftiness and passing.

    1. I think you're blowing this out of proportion. Harden being an Arenas clone? Arenas in his hayday (3 years) was a monster! People don't like him because his off the court fiasco and ultimately him not playing up to his contract. Later he got old and couldnt produce anymore. Harden is better than Arenas, so let's make that a clear point.

    2.You're right, Harden isn't Kobe or Jordan. However I think you're wrong stating you don't want him as your primary scorer in the playoffs.

    3. Anti Spurs? The Spurs are the only team in the history of sports to have this kind of synergy. They have the greatest coach ever with 3 sure fire HOFers, one in which is a top 10 player all time (arguably). I do agree I wish we had better ball movement, but we just acquired 3 new players so give them time.

    4. Assists will get better, we were missing 3 of our starters for a good chunk of the season so far and like I stated earlier we have new pieces trying to get worked in to rotation. Josh Smith is showing promise of being a facilitator that we havent had outside of Harden. D Mo can pass, but Smith can facilitate.

    5. we're 21-8 right now. We started our season playing a lot of games with many different starting 5s. We haven't seen Jones all year who was arguably our 3rd best player at times (4th most likely though) and were hit with injury bug on a lot of our players. We also had back up bigs who weren't up to par (Dorsey, Black) with the rest of the team. I think the competition we've lost to is great competition. Every NBA Team can win against anyone, Philly has won some games this year too you know.

    All in all, I believe you're jumping the gun. Some people may more than agree with your statement on Harden's scoring from last year's playoffs and this year's start to the season, but the man has really turned it on and has been playing next level basketball! If you try to trade him now, you'll look way worse than Sam Presti did after the Harden trade when he became an MVP caliber player.
