    My buddy told me he was throwing up the H walking to the locker room. True?

    The Beard has landed!

    Yup. Since this is only the first game of this season we really have him for 6 seasons.

    Lemarcus Aldridge would be a good compliment

    The best thing about it was that it all came so easy. He wasn't playing all out to get those stats. It just came to him. That's what i'm most excited about. Signs that it will be a regular thing instead of a 1 in every 2 weeks type of thing.

    Yes it was the first game, yes it was the Pistons(rebuilding, but still a solid young team), but watching the way Harden was operating out there, his body language, Bball IQ and interactions with the team it's pretty evident that he is ready to take his game to a bonafide elite level. He can score from anywhere, make great passes, and his defense wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

    AND HE IS ONLY 23!!!!!

    If you had looked at the serious analysts you would have known this would happen. Most of them agreed that OKC should have traded Westbrook and kept Harden. I expect Harden will be slowed down once NBA teams start scheming for Lin/Harden. But we may have the best SG in the NBA on the roster. Thank god we locked him in for 5 more years!

    Harden last year played like Brandon Roy. At 23 years of age. If he stays healthy you are looking at the next Dwayne Wade. The sky is the limit!

    I wish we signed him for 6 years instead of 5.

    There are only 5 superstars in this league. Harden is definitely not one but has the potential to.
