I know Rockets history very well since I've followed them from the time Moses and Calvin were stars and we traded for Billy Paultz. So subtract 20 years from 99. And I got all dat. Little midget #2k-1
Not sold on him. Lots of concerns about his back. It's not right. But I like how he has developed. I'd be willing to trade him for a first or continue on with his development. If I were internal and knew the medical better I may change my opinion. My instinct is if he becomes a player he'll have a shorter career and we'll have a health breakdown He runs stiff... like some of his lower vertebra are fused together. I like his work ethic a lot. He loves playing. And I like his skills. Like Zhou I really wished we would've given him minutes with the starters this season to see what he looked like. But I love the pick- and- pop and spot up potential combined with his handle and ability to shot fake and make a move if closed out. Most of my question about him are defensively. I think he can switch as well as Capela can right now. Actually better. I think he's quicker than Capela on the perimeter. But I do not like how he looks in the scrum. I don't like him not being able to lower his center of gravity to carve out space and maintain it. He appears stiff and upright around the rim. Of course this may not be an issue if his 3-ball continues to get tighter and he stays healthy and quick on the perimeter. If he does those things then he'd be a good match at the 4/5 with PJ who has in spades what he's missing defensively. I'm undecided on him at the moment. But I'm liking what I've seen of him at RGV. Just not sold because of his back situation. Like his attitude, work ethic, and offensive skills though. And yes, I am hedging on him. I was hedging on Zhou too. But nobody wants to remember those posts. Ha.
Dunno. But I'm about a79er. I was actually giving old tinman a complement by saying he was a 69er. That would probably be San Diego days. Of course he took it as an insult and made sure to let everybody know how he felt about it. ....... And yes....... that is a troll line there. What will it snag this time?
I know you are fake cause you never Talk about the greats like Dream, Yao and Moses You talk about G league or barely making roster dudes like Maker and Zhou You aren’t even @DaDakota ‘s toe nail You are so far from a pure fan you are past that black hole they just took a picture off Everyone On the board knows you are trolling @Os Trigonum Pure are the ones who follow Clutch when he asked for us
Yao, Tracy, Hakeem, Ralph, Moses, etc. is history. Do you remember the backboard play we used to run for Moses? Get real bro.
It is though. You attribute enjoyment of the team winning and being "real fans" based on how much criticism of the team the poster expresses. You make giant leaps in assumption of intent. Some people when they enjoy a Rocket victory don't express their joy in team forums. This is nothing more than a stupid witch-hunt against people you dissgre with.
Ironically the original poster is the one actually asking for a safe space. So who's exactly crying a river?
I think the problem lies in the title. You get attacked no matter where you stand. Op doesn't understand that he demands the same thing he was standing in opposition to. Create a space for homers that shouldn't have one iota of critical thinking about the team or James Harden. That's some fascist thinking. Dictate everyone should fall in line to the same way of thinking and opinion. That's not what an open forum is here for. Some homers have become radical and borderline hateful. (For the love of God and what is holy tone the hate down in times of Covid-19)
Everytime you post, all I "hear" is whining and crying. Do you even enjoy Rockets' wins? When everyone is celebrating a victory you are nowhere to be found. But after a loss, you are on every thread bashing on Harden.
Sounds like you lack reading comprehension... GG... Witch hunt? What did I actually say? Did I describe you perhaps?
