Can we hold back the hate for one thread and talk Harden's supporting cast?

Lol enjoy never winning a chip with the guy.
Rockets have the worst bench in the League. Facts.
Haters doing their best to ignore this.
The bench is trash because there is literally no sense of rhythm unless Harden is pounding the fukk out of the ball. What cohesion is any team supposed to have when one guy has over 450 isos before March?Rockets have the worst bench in the League. Facts.
Worst PF rotation in the League and Dwight's been in and the role players can't defend but yeah let's pin this all on Harden. The only player performing above average in the team is Ariza.
He doesn't even iso as much as people think anyways. When you're leading the League in minutes and the alternative to an isolation are Dwight Howard post ups or contested 3's from Beverley and Ariza what do y'all expect? He's cut back on the top of the key iso's and is working more in the post these past couple of weeks which is why his FG% continues to improve every week.
The only problem with Harden this season are the turnovers. Teams have been doubling him all season long and he's struggled in taking care of the ball.
The idea he's an inherently selfish player is ridiculous. He's literally 7th in the League in assists, ahead of Curry, LeBron, Lillard, Lowry etc.
Anyone explain that. Please. Even AI wasn't as ball dominant. Basketball is all about synergy and Houston hasn't had any for 3 years, eventually, like this year, its gonna implode. And like all true 2 way sports, what happens on one side reflects on the other. In Houston's case, on top of being analytic leaning to a fault, all those threes put an insane amount of pressure on their transition D - and you can't win shyt in the NBA now if you aren't set before an opposing offense is.
Like... all this shyt is simple. Houston plays like an AAU team where the best kid's dad is the coach. In this case its Harden and Morey.
Now if you want to get into why people hate Harden, its simple - he plays like he wants to go down as the biggest sack of shyt in NBA history the way he jumps on people's backs and blows his rape whistle for the refs. If you defend it, it means you support it. Stanning Harden literally means co-signing all the bullshyt. At least Melo is generally a cool dude. At least Rondo had flashy passes. Harden hooks his man damn near every drive - fukk looking at the rim.
Now you know

fukk that floppinng ass ole dolphin teeth havin ass fakkit..
You knew I'd be in here tooThread was doomed from the start
These people talk about Dwight like he killed more people than OJ, Hernandez, and Harvin combined, "cause he's too happy".
But they claim to give "objective" opinions on the Rox

Yes let's take a look at his supporting cast
Trevor Ariza: A surefire perimeter stopper with three point range and championship experience
Patrick Beverley: A pitbull on the defensive side who had also improved his three point shooting this season
D Howard: A three-time DPOY who still has the ability to block and alter shots at the rim
They have three really good defensive players in their starting lineup but for some strange reason they rank almost dead last in damn near every defensive statistical category. Seems mind of odd doesnt it?
Why do you think this is happening brethren?
You're absolutely clueless.

Facts are facts. Houston has the 6th ranked offense with Harden on the court, it's drops to a pathetic 29th with him on the bench.

Goddam what so some of you guys have against the Rockets?
That team outside of James Harden is trash.
Dwight Howard is a shell of himself
Ariza is a 6th man and should not be a starter.
The team doesn't have a legit PG.
They couldn't piece together a compentent PF with 2 guys
Their bench is made up of D-Leaguers and mummies.
