I hear all of that, but... if a frog had wings, it wouldn't bounce his ass a hoppin' ... but people in here arguing about what color wings the frog might have had, basically, and what would have looked best with green skin, etc. Not to interrupt.
I didn’t randomly bump this thread, but now that it’s here, Pastor Reeko might as well preach the good word and get these sermons off y’all open up your basketball bibles to James 1 verse 13…lemme tell y’all why Harden would have made everyone better and had us competing for the 5th seed
Harden did all of that on like a dozen shots. His efficiency is crazy. He has a sub 20% usage - he is taking 11 shots a night and scoring over 17 points with 9 assists, a steal, a block and 5 rebounds... His ORT is 130!
Harden is obviously better than FVV, I think the concern was the extra baggage that comes with him. We are trying to build something long-term and sustainable and don't want him taking the team over again just to win a few more games in the short term. He left us in shambles last time he was here, as he did the Nets.
Harden also did miss more than 1 month of basketball and when he was in Philly he barely made the 60 games played...... And his first 8 games with the Clippers he played sub par......which also should be noted down. He is one of the best high end role players now..... I give him that......basically because he can do everything pretty well. Outside the athleticism realm.
Folks not wanting Harden was ridiculous. It’s sad that so many people used the same lame excuses the national biased media did against Harden. About being tired of boring basketball, blah blah blah. I would rather the Rockets be winning, regardless of what the national self proclaimed pundits in the media yap about. Winning is not boring in my book! I’ve got my tickets for the Clippers game. I’ll be rooting for the Rockets, but will show appreciation for what Harden did for the Rockets in his tenure here.
It was pretty easy to stand behind Udoka's decision though.......I mean I am skeptical towards Harden..... I do acknowledge his talent.......but it is easier to play for Tyronn Lue than it is to play for Ime Udoka if Udoka is not fully behind you.
We talking about the guy that's been on as many teams as Harden has right? Left OKC to join the best team in the league at the time, the same team that bounced him from the playoffs? Same guy that beefed with Donkey and then left? Same guy that was just as responsible as leaving the Nets in shambles as Harden, arguably more? That guy right?
Beard is a very talented and skilled player, even at his age! Having said that lets not pretend that that he's flying solo in LA! Kwami and George are true all-star players year after year and Russell has his moments as well!! Not taking anything away from Beard, but come on, that team should be playing winning basketball every night!! What could've been... didn't, and what will be.... hasn't!! Live in the NOW!!! CHEER OUR ROCKETS!!! Spoiler: Facts are Facts! ....... ....... .......
That's the same guy that was clubbing with Harden, pictures and videos available everywhere, after that all star draft, and was rumored to be recruiting Harden to PHX.
No use crying over spilled milk That said . . . what kids did Harden Ruin? Who did he teach "bad habits"? He got some of those kids some real contracts Rocket River
