However, Harden's unopened restaurant's Google profile has provided an outlet for angry Rockets fans to vent their frustration over his trade. A large number of ardent Rockets fans posted atrocious Google reviews for Thirteen in the past 24 hours. As of Thursday afternoon, the eatery had a rating of just 2.7 stars on Google while the main image showed a toilet being used as a grill. 

Although the restaurant is a few weeks away from its opening, one reviewer wrote, "This restaurant can't be fixed, it's just not good enough". Another added, "I told the chef to make the bread as soft as the owner and it might taste just right. Ah who am I kidding, it's still weak." Although Harden's restaurant was roasted by many Rockets supporters, there were some gracious fans who opted to leave positive remarks.
