    In his first 23 games as being a starter and the primary offensive option Harden is averaging around 26 points 5 rebounds and 5 assist. Those are super star numbers and he's only going to get better.

    If JLin can stay aggressive and average around 15 to 20 points a game the Rockets will have one of the most dangerous backcourts in the league.

    Yea I know they need to work on their defense and turnovers but at the end of the day the team with the most points win.

    Great to know. Jeremy's got the talent, he just has to be allowed to use it.

    Harden & Lin could/should be one of the best backcourts in the game.

    Yeah, everytime Jeremy is aggressive, good things happen. The impressive thing about Harden is his consistency.. he doesn't go off for 40 points and come back with 10pt the next game.. very reliable. Which should be encouraging to experiment using Lin more as we could always count on Harden when offense runs dry.

    If Lin landed a few more of those 3s and players were able to connect more it would have been a great stat game for him. Anyways, his stock for the All-Stars just went up a bit. Both Harden and Lin were every efficient tonight just like the first two games.
