I definitely think people hate on Howard for whatever reason they've made up in their own mind. Especially the lingering Laker fans.

I don't see any Lin hate, just folks over-protective of him. He's off to a good start, so no worries there. He's part of the squad.

Overall, with increased expectations comes increased criticism, but real fans need to remember that we're not even 10 games in and this team will find its rhythm. All is good for the Houston Rockets.

Personally, I find that amusing.

We'll hit a stride.

Remember how I kept throwing out Ilyasova and Anderson as potential trade options, but really had no idea whether it was a good idea to trade Asik?

Well I'm still not sure. Hopefully we don't hurt his trade value by making it look like it's necessary before that point, if it happens.
Morey 2020.

There are things that can be done to counteract that and they did absolutely nothing. I better see some adjustments next game. Now there is the flop fine discussion. I personally think it's funny when guys say things like "see this is why I hate Harden", "his style of play isn't fun to watch", "he is fake star", and "this is why I don't respect him". Guys flop all the time. I don't like it either, but whatever. I read, I laugh a little, and then I move on to the next thread.

don't look at me
i never like him
remember i was the one of the few that hated the trade
i apologize to Morey because i didn't think he can get two stars without tanking which i was wrong
because of current CBA situation i think best way to build a championship team is to have 5 good players instead of 2 superstars

Yeah you wanted to tank for high lotto picks and I didn't agree because I said that the reason you want to tank is to draft a guy like Harden. I told you there wasn't a player better than Harden in this past draft. I also told you that Harden would attract free agents. Seems I was right about that as well. I believe if my memory serves, you wanted to tank and draft Shabazz Muhammed. Glad you aren't the GM lol. :lol: Whether you like Harden or not, this team is relevant again finally. We'll see how it goes.
