Is it Harden, or is it the guy who has famously had issues with teammates at virtually every stop.

Let's ask Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.



Harden had issues with McHale, Dwight, Ariza, CP3 and I'm sure there are a handful of his current teammates that don't like him.

It's just a matter of time before he has issues with Westbrook too.
Ariza? What? He said he was interested in coming back but the rockets didn't make an offer. And his problem with McHale was the he was terrible lol

kobe had issues with Dwight Howard too.

Ariza? I’ve heard nothing about how he didn’t like Harden

You’re making **** up. Just admit it

Paul and Jordan are actually pretty tight, supposedly their differences ended up making them even closer. Blake is a different story, but who are the other teammates that have issues with Paul? Glen Davis I think?

by all accounts, CP3's OKC teammates love him and havn't had anything negative to say about it.

it's interesting how its always negative when linked to Rockets.

Something about the way that trash organization carries itself and ruins players on that team, primarily stars.

Pippen
Francis/Mobley
Yao
Artest
Tmac
Dwight
Kevin Martin
Barkley
Ty Lawson
CP3

Its interesting how all those players got worse with the Rockets or ruined their careers with the Rockets. Just saying.

Pippen/old
Francis/Mobley best years in Houston
Yao Only team he played for/ injuries
Artest productive as a rocket
Tmac injuries
Dwight has not been the same since Orlando
Kevin Martin lol
Barkley old
Ty Lawson drunk
CP3 Lost a step

Mmmm...what? That list seems to combine a LOT of different circumstances into some pattern that is non-existent.

The Paul bad teammate thing is overplayed, people tend to grab on to small things and expand. If you look at the Clippers, him and DJ like I mentioned are actually really good, talk every day type friends. Barnes called him his fav teammate ever, Redick, Mbah, Udoh, etc, all these guys like him and they have continued communication. Then you have Ariza, Tucker, Chandler, House, Capela, Gordon, etc, some of these guys he played with in more than one situation/team and they have commended him. He has a strong (and also annoying when it comes to basketball) personality though, which always means it can clash with another strong or different type of personality, especially if people take things too personally. For example, him and PJ Tucker both have stronger personalities, but they work because PJ will give it back to him and knows it’s all in love and not personal because they have a relationship. It’s life though, some personalities just don’t work together.

Why is this even a thing. CP is friends with Lebron, Melo and that crew and Harden is buddy buddy with Westbrook. I play pickup ball regularly with guys that I don't really associate with outside of the time we have between the lines, it's not that I dislike them or anything. Are you friends will all your co-workers?

I think it goes back a season when they went 0-27 in that Game 7
Harden probably still angry CP3 didn't play in that critical game
CP3 angry he sat on the bench and watched Harden chuck it away.

and Harden supposedly recruited CP3 on the floor in their prior year during the HOU v Clippers series.

They were like a dot com that had a lot of potential and just busted.

I'd put some blame on DanTony. There's a reason that guy has been coaching for 20+ years in the NBA and has ZERO Rings. This is his job to iron it out.

Even before KD the warriors had the personnel and style to just completely deflate teams mentally. I miss watching that.

what the **** are you talking about.

I was going to go one-by-one for every player that you listed but realized that it's not worth it entertaining a troll like you.

Don't go one on one. look at your franchise and how they treat players and ruin their careers. now you all have a crappy owner to go with your crappy franchise.

only reason you all won was because of Hakeem.

Even with that, you all build terrible teams around him. Rockets should have won more with him but of course, you guys decided to ruin his career towards the end too. He wanted to be traded at one point too. Then you all let him leave to Toronto SMH. Inexcusable.

This isn't different with CP3 either, when he's on your team lets build him up, when he's gone, we'll ruin his image. Typical Rockets behavior LOL
