    I was surprised to see this in The Atlantic. Really excited to see Lin and Harden develop for the next few years. Some myths are continued to be perpetuated but the Rockets are definitely getting a lot of buzz this year.

    I was just reading this. Great article. This is the attitude this fan base should adopt, imo. Don't squash the excitement and potential with the nagging and griping. Rockets look so fun to watch with those 2 out there.

    so glad Lin is getting the recognition he deserves. Harden will always be second fiddle.

    Harden actually relieves lots of Lin's burden. It's a blessing for Lin.

    Same could probably be said of Harden. Imagine if TD had to play starter minutes yikes.

    JK?

    Hope you are joking. Right now, by the paycheck and the way he played in the first game, Harden is the main man. Lin will get better in time; it's only his 26th start and 65th game overall in the NBA.

    One thing they didn't mention is that there is a lot of discussion on fan boards about whether either of these guys are worth their contracts. It's been pretty mixed on both.

    They definitely both have a lot to prove.

    will the "Asians are all look the same" racist asses think Harden is enormously tall?

    "Those two kids... are setting out to show their former teams and the rest of the league that they are worth every penny of their contracts and then some."
