    Default Who is the 3rd member of the Rockets "Big 3" to win a championship?

    Harden
    Howard
    and who makes the Rockets team a contender?



    Only LeBron and Durant would be able to win this team a ring. Even a star PG like Tony Parker or Chris Paul would have to defer to Harden in the playoffs and thus not win a championship.

    They need a big 2 before we should even discuss a big 3. They have Dwight... and then a pile of shit.

    Dwight himself is a pile of shit... so this is really awkward...

    (The Rockets suck. They weren't contenders last year and certainly aren't this coming year after having one of the worst offseasons in the league. Another first round exit...)

    .. His offense, also..

    Kind of a bad combination. Disgusting defense and offense.. narrows it down a bit.

    what is so bad about his offence? He's on 26/6/5. Sure it's on 45% but these are similar numbers as Kobe and T-Mac used to produce.

    The hate is exaggerated. Harden is a good player, just needs to get his defense in line.

    His offense is a product of the refs.. He doesn't have any game. His "game" consists of jacking up 3's and barreling into defenders for FT's... He'd rather shoot FT's than actually go for the and-one, which is even funnier...

    I can't stand him.

    Please never compare James Harden to guys like Kobe and T-Mac.

    Watching James Harden on offense is nearly as bad as watching him on defense. He either jacks a 3, drives + kicks, or barrels into the lane playing for the whistle.

    He has no midrange game. No post game. Is COMPLETELY reliant upon the officials (it's no surprise that he's garbage in the playoffs). He's just a very poor representation of a true basketball player. Zero respect for the game.

    EDIT:

    LOL I didn't read this until after I posted. Our descriptions of Harden were nearly identical. Even more of a testament to the type of player he is.

    So? People say Lebron only gets point through easy layups and dunks, that is a stupid argument and you know it.

    If it was so easy then everyone should do it. It's not like the NBA gives Harden some kind of special treatment.

    Except that Lebron actually goes out and gets his easy layups and dunks. That's his game and ridiculous physical gifts, not the product of a bullshit system.

    Harden's game gets exposed year after year in the postseason when the calls stop coming, and we still have people questioning why other people hate his game? Come on now. How many more sub-40% first round exits and bedwettings do you need to see before you'll admit the dude just ****ing sucks? I'm sure you'll see another one this season, we should revisit this then.

    It all depends on what expectations you have of him. If you put him in the top tier then you're obviously going to think he sucks because he's not that.

    He has only made the playoffs twice as the leader of a team. Before that he had great success with OKC as an important role player and a 3rd option. T-Mac spent his whole career never going through the 1st round.

    He's one of the individually talented players we have on this league. I'm not expecting championships or miracles but he's talented and a star in this league. The same way we feel Melo, Love, Griffin and a few others are stars in this league. For some reason, people exaggerate when it comes to Harden-
