James Harden Can Play Defense

Only us Rockets fans would understand the reason why James has been slacking on Defense. It's not because he can't play it, because he can. Harden is actually a wonderful defender. The reason he has not been performing like he can is because he basically carried us on offense last year. Hardens just to tired, and if you just watch highlights and not the full game you wouldn't know that.

Houston is (Seriously) Underrated

The Rockets are on of the most underrated teams. In the 2014-2015 season the Rockets went 56-26, were 2nd seed in the west, and went to the conference finals. However, everyone acted like it was luck. This last season Harden was second in leading point per game, averaged 29 point per game, 7.5 assist per game, and 6.1 rebounds per game. Even with all these incredible stats Harden was not selected to one All-NBA Team. Kevin Durant spoke out for his former teammate, and friend saying "Nobody really appreciates what he does except for the players in our league." He also later on quoted "As a player and someone that played with Harden, and a fan of the game, I was angry, because somebody is right here in front of you and you cant appreciate him." He continued "If he were to retire tomorrow, we would have so many stories and videos about how great he is, but he's here right now doing it. Appreciate what he brings." I personally think this just goes to show how were underrated.
