    Harden is a great leader. There are more than a few ways to lead.

    LeBron
    Kawhi
    Curry
    Durant

    all those guys hell even CP3 have had way better supporting casts than Harden.

    a no longer prime Dwight
    then who??

    Ty drunk Lawson
    Eric Gordon who was previously Mr. Glass
    Chandler Parsons
    Jeremy Lin
    Ryan Anderson
    Pat Beverley
    Ariza
    past prime Josh Smith
    Brewer, really.

    compared to Irving,Love, Klay, Green, Iggy, Westbrook, Duncan, Aldridge,Parker, Manu, Coach Pop, Blake, Jordan, Crawford.

    out of all the superstars in the league since Harden became one, he's been the one surrounded with less talent

    then some of you have the audacity to ridicule his playoff performances when he's been pretty much a one man show his entire tenure here.

    if anything, everything he's accomplished shows how great of a leader he really is.

    Mchale is wack, harden had every right to say what he said.

    The only time mchale has had any success as a coach was when he coached harden.

    When he had Kevin Garnett he couldn't do jack, Kevin love? Nope.

    If any Houston fan isn't taking Hardens side then I don't know if your really a fan.

    Harden has done everything for this team and city. He put us back on the map got us to be a perennial playoff team with HC advantage. He's attracted top talent (cp3, Howard) gotten the rockets meetings with every big name FA dontaned money to hurricane relief, donated money to houston area schools puts on charity events and basketball camps for the kids, Gives scholarships.

    I mean seriously this guy has his **** together on and off the court. I'm a rocksts die hard I was at the championship parades I was at the Galveston practices and it pains me to see how a lot of the fans in this city disrespect the 2nd best player to ever wear a rocksts jersey.

    Such a bummer

    Sorry you spent 800 dollars, some people lost every ****ing thing they had. Maybe harden didn't donate the money to the city because he felt like he owed it, maybe he donated it because he is a good person. Zeke Elliot donated, Des Bryant donated, and they aren't even around here. Don't look too far into the idiots botching about everything on Facebook. There was like 8 of you on clutchfans going back and forth about watt and harden. The rest of us just appreciated everything both of them were doing.

    McHale is wrong, Harden is right. There's no grey matter here.

    In that season I sided with McHale but everything we've learnt since then has made it pretty clear to me that McHale was a bad coach. Rockets and Harden are much better off now.

    Bottom line is that McHale is still bitter about losing his job here.

    Harden is getting tired of the media hate overall, I think. People calling for the Harden rule, saying he doesn't play defense, isn't a leader, can't win in the playoffs, etc. Eventually there's only so much a dude can take of it before they bite back and Harden has been putting up with these narratives ever since coming to Houston. I don't have any issue with him calling McHale a clown, in fact him and Dwight were both clowns when they were here.

    James has shown that he's dedicated to playing for the city of Houston and I have no doubt that all of the guys in the lockeroom fully support him.

    It's Harden's fault for being so spectacular in the regular season. We expect that same greatness in the post-season despite his teammates.

    I LOVE it! Finally getting some TRUTH up in this place!

    The truth is a b**** - but it will set you free!

    I'd rather get THE REAL than a bunch of fanboy spin OR a bunch of hater agenda driven garbage!

    McHale was a joke! he had NO control and basically just rolled the ball out there for the guys to figure out...

    Harden has NOT been a leader - a leader doesn't quit before an elimination game has even begun and leads by example - on BOTH ends of the court!

    The sig says it all... and there has been waaaaaaay too much crazy and lazy over the last few years!

    *I'll settle for other players as well.

    the final nail in the coffin for mchale will be when other players come out to expose his horrible coaching and/or dispute there was laughing at harden in the locker room. then the media whores will have no choice but to scrape off the teflon currently coating this jackass
