I underestimated his court vision and athleticism. This guy is the real deal. I can see TO's being a problem for him and Lin but if they defend the way they did today and come through in the clutch, I can see this team as high as a 6th or 7th seed. Really concerned about the bench but I'll worry about that later. Right now I'm just happy to have a young and exciting team to watch. GO ROCKETS!
Harden will shoot 60% from the field this year, win the MVP, bring Houston it's 3rd championship, jump on rocket ship, blast off to outer space, and conquer the next frontier by establishing the first human settlement on Mars. Safe enough to bet on that one.
Wow. I did NOT expect Harden to do this well, this early. Even with Maggette out, there's no reason to believe he'd do any worse if he'd played, since Corey's really getting up there in years. I just hope Harden doesn't get a catastrophic fluke injury or something that ruins his career undeservedly, like Jay Williams, Greg Oden, Shaun Livingston, and others... Obviously we won't be winning the championship this year, but if we make it to the second round, I'll be happy!
Cuttino Mobley @CuttinosLife I'm putting it out there now. I love the Houston Rockets backcourt. Good luck guys. Great game Lin and Harden.

LinMVP has a point, Detroit isn't exactly the best team out there, so let's temper our expectations a bit. No need to bring up Lin at this point, just because his username is LinMVP. That aside, that was was a great performance, hope he can keep up at least 20/5/5.
