    He's been solid, but nothing spectacular. A few good games, a few off games. Kind of like everybody on the team thus far.

    Wow. I didn't expect the U.S. to destroy Slovenia that badly.

    funny thing is : there were tons of Rockets "beat writers" on hoopshype during the first half and I got Harden updates almost every 30 seconds, and there is almost NONE in the second half.

    lol

    Strange. Harden exploded the 3rd. Seems they would have been tweeting that if they are sports writers.

    Rose looked much better also. Would love to see him wake up.

    can you feel the "love"?

    ------------------
    Sam Smith @SamSmithHoops about 1 hour ago


    Harden finally hits the rim with a shot, though it was backward over his shoulder. Looks like he's following Dwight Howard's shooting video.



    Joe Cowley @suntimes_hoops about 1 hour ago


    James Harden already has that old-man-looking game.



    Sam Amick @sam_amick about 1 hour ago


    Harden struggling. Missed all 8 shots, & now has tunnel vision on rim. Drew two defenders on drive & missed again w/ Klay alone in corner.



    Andrew Sharp @andrewsharp about 1 hour ago


    Later in life, James Harden lost his best friend in the world after a long day of defense. #NeverAgain


    Sam Smith @SamSmithHoops about 1 hour ago


    James Harden after 0-8 half with no shot even close appears to be looking at eye chart on bench and seems to have trouble with E at top


    Sam Smith @SamSmithHoops 1 hour ago


    Harden with 10 dribbles between his legs and then an airball. P.A. announcer asking of there's opthamologist in the house


    Sam Smith @SamSmithHoops 1 hour ago


    Harden fouled on a jumper. Not sure, but assume Slovenian coach yelled, "Don't foul that guy!"


    Sam Smith @SamSmithHoops 58 minutes ago


    Harden scores on drive! Slovenian fans giving him standing ovation. Well, they are standing.


    Mark Woods @markbritball 58 minutes ago


    Maybe it’s the glass of wine I had with dinner but thought I saw James Harden play D there.


    Sam Smith @SamSmithHoops about 53 minutes ago


    Harden with terrific lookaway lob for Faried slam dunk. He's back! All is forgiven.

    Bulls beat writer.

    If you will take a look on how Rose played in this world cup, I am sure you can understand his frustration and all will be forgiven.

    This one is for U.S. oriented posting. The other is about all the other countries.

    I'm guessing this is the thread for the Semi game as well? Surprised no one is discussing it.

    Most folks are at work/school so the threads stay pretty quiet. I think i'll be posting in the DMo/Harden thread in the GARM as it will get more traffic

    lol. Dmo's teammate runs into him and Harden gets the foul called on him.

    Looks like another slow start for USA.

    FIBA games are worse than college.

    All fouls and time outs.
