Houston has zero heart- Harden, Dwight and Parsons- lots of arrogance, skill, but no heart- I find it impossible to root for those guys.

why do you put Parsons in there. He is an overachiever at every level.

Also, the blazers have a new school approach and very good offense overall. It's just that Aldridge is inefficient but he has played amazingly so far this series.

Parsons changed this year, attitude wise- he had some success last year and it went to his head. It happens, it's very common, but at the same time I just find him more annoying.

Parsons is a very good player that keeps improving. How do you see him getting a big head?

He ditched Lin (not that I'm a big fan) and sided with Dwight and Harden this season, he seems to think he's on their level. Then he declared before last nights game that he was the best SF in that series. Maybe true but a bit arrogant for a second year player, who I think is a bit over rated- then he spectacularly failed to back up his claim. I get that most players are quite arrogant, and they use that to push themselves, but there's something about him that rubs me up the wrong way.

I don't know, it's easier to root for a player when they are breaking out, but it's a shame when they become an ******* the following year as a result! (See Paul George!)

I did not see that he said that he is the best SF in the series (link?). That's not cool and I don't respect talk like that.

And ... Batum is certainly the better player IMHO

How has he ditched Lin? Also, I think Dwight and Parsons were really good friends before this year. Howard credited Parsons for talking him into coming to Houston.

Harden disappeared in the OKC finals, disappeared last year too. I hope he disappears all the way, just because I don't like Morey.

Harden has played awful so far.
