    Unlike Wall and Boogie, EGo not blaming this mess on Harden.

    That is true character and leadership.

    If he plays, EGo may go off tonight with Wall out.

    Unleash the Martin kid, give him experience turn this into a fun run and gun college team. Let’s get a top five pick this year hope it doesn’t belong to OKC.

    This is a normal Eric Gordon, doesn't even complain.

    What about how Harden blamed the mess on everyone else?

    I think he’s with PJ and also wants out due to ownership/FO/HC. He was an MDA/ Morey guy as well.

    If he can go I meant.

    EGo is at his best when he dominates the ball.

    He is even more offensively talented than Wall.

    EGO is not "bout that life" like Wall and Boogie so he wont get upset at any menial comment and go looking for beef. I cringed when he admitted to this being a developmental stage vs having real championship expectations. I know that is what it is, but hearing it with tone from a player is still a little bit of harsh reality.

    He blamed mess squarely on FO and that message has been consistent since offseason.

    Did you even listen to EGo interview?

    lose by the 20s, instead of the 30s possibly on a good night but at least the ball movement and culture will be in tact

    Harden explicitly said the talent wasn't good enough not sure how else guys are supposed to take that.

    Ball movement + bad players = pain. We may get that top 4 pick after all!

    Eric seemed tranquilized during that interview. I'm pretty sure Keith Jones slipped something into his Powerade to keep him docile.

    He said that consistently before Wall and Boogie acquired.

    And he said it after Silas and Ra-fel hired.

    Was he wrong?

    Like EGo said, it was not personally directed at anyone. It is the reality of the situation.

    Rockets refused or unable, or both, to field a championship caliber team around Harden.

    That was a typical EGo interview.
