Go ahead and say what you want about him, but he had 45 points 8 rebounds 11 assists 5 steals and 1 block in a win tonight. I wish we had a player who could do that with the relative ease that Harden did.

Neil would have to get a little dirty & risky.
 
I don't want a dirty sleezy flopping player like Harden on my team. The only reason he gets those numbers is from shoving people, holding arms, and trust falling with the Refs ( they seem to catch him every time)
 
In the nicest way pissible, gtfo Kingspeed
 
Wish we had a player like Hardin??? So he can play here till he becomes a FA and them get a the f-ck out of town? I'd rather have 10 Wes Mathews than 1 Hardin. Better to keep something you can retain...

We couldn't retain Wes

We didn't even make him an offer. I'm sure if we'd have matched Dallas he would have stayed. He liked the area. But a All-Pro NBA player like Harden, he'd be counting the days to get out of this town.

Sure we could have retained Wes if we'd been willing to ridiculously overpay. Glad we chose a different path.

Who the heck is Hardin?
 
He's a fucking scrub.

11-29 from the field.

4-15 from three.

The dude shot 37% from the floor on 29 fucking shots. That's abysmal. The ONLY reason why his numbers look as good as they do is because the guy shot 19-20 from the line. The NBA is a fucking joke.

Paying Wes that much would be ridiculous. Dallas is going to regret it without a doubt.

Who else are we going to spend it on though..... We couldn't even attract high priced free agents to replace the guys that left. And they have to spend the money any way.

He also had 8 rebounds, 11 assists, and 5 steals. He helps his team win.

Ummm, you may be thinking Tim Hardin, amazing singer from Oregon who was a key figure in 60's NY folk scene. Died of smack. But I was thinking of James Harden...

Ooooh! All this talk of flopping and grabbing, I thought we were talking about "Little" Jamie Hardon the porn star!
 
What I want is ANY player that gets the absurd calls that dude does! He's actually always been a pretty good player - why the league/refs insist on giving him "star" stats is beyond me.
 
He is one of two players id like to see just get decked by another player when he goes to do his stupid flopping bs.
He gets fouled enough as is to not just flop around like a fish out of water and get the refs to buy it.
 
I thought the league was supposed to be reviewing games and fining guys for flopping and other moves meant to deceive refs into making bad calls. If they'd actually get serious about it, Harden would get about a half-dozen per game for a while and then might actually change the crap he does.
 
but he also had more assists than our point guard by a lot

Yeah, I had to check the box score after the game because it was a pretty quiet 40+ point night and you just don't get those type of games hardly ever. He drives straight on into the defense and throws his hands in the air to get the whistle. It's unfortunate the NBA keeps buying into his antics but the bottom line is it took a one-legged running 3 from Corey Brewer at the end of regulation to force overtime.

In all honesty, the Rockets are a mess. Ty Lawson, their prize free agent acquisition, didn't even see the court in crunch time and was a complete non-factor all night long. Jason Terry, who has to be nearing 40, is their starting point guard and that's definitely not sustainable, especially in the West. Dwight Howard really just rebounds now; he's completely ineffective on the offensive end of the floor and has lost quite a bit of his trademark athleticism. They just fired their coach and their GM operates like it's NBA 2K with all the trades and tinkering he does. That team is in win now mode but they won't be winning anything anytime soon.

The fact that they double teamed Lillard the entire game might have something to do with that, but thanks for trolling.
 
He got lucky on that pass while in the air to Brewer. Without that one garbage play, this thread doesn't exist.
