The guy that saved us from T Douglas. That dude was killing us. I haven't liked him since he joined our team, and tonight's performance just reinforced that.[/negativity] But Harden, man...The Beard is Feared... I was skeptical when we first traded for him. But after watching how he played tonight, I'm on his wagon starting tonight. This dude is going to save our franchise. He played solid defense. He made all the right decisions. He made all the right plays. He took all the right shots. He made all the right passes. And he's only been with the team for 4 days and has already generated THIS kind of chemistry. That man is our savior. He's finally given me something to be excited about from our Rockets. We are SO back on the scene.
harden pretty much single-handed win us the game, now we jus need someone to help him out with the offense

Unbelievable game! Forgot what it was like to have a game changer like Harden! I am blown away! Obviously only 1st game of season but WOW!
Morey knows what he is doing. I am glad Harden is on the team. Just need the chemistry to take hold and this team will a true player in the playoffs. I don't what other move Morey has plan but I am sure it will work out.
Better yet, Harden and Lin will definitely attract another superstar to come here! Let's get that elite post player!
James Harden is the best SG in the NBA, no doubt about it. Parsons needs to step his game up. Asik looked good, but still had some fumbles. Jeremy was good at times; he still has not reached full speed. We need more depth at PG and SG. Morris had some good moments. It wasn't pretty, but he looks like he still has more potential. DELFINO IS A SHOOTER. Thank you FirstRow.
He reminds me of Joe Johnson when he was with Phoenix. Lots of potential coming off the bench, and when he went to Atlanta, he really emerged as a star player.
This made me laugh out loud. But fun game to watch. Much better than I expect out of the season a few weeks ago. But let's all remember this knee jerking will come back around after our next loss.
Half true. Harden needs a 2nd scoring threat or they just collapse on him. Goes the other way too. That said, I think they're working on more of a co-operative thing right now. Makes sense since they're both very much selfless players. During an interview Harden noted that he didn't worry about chemistry with Lin because they shared similar approaches to the game... ie, don't worry about stuffing the sheet, get your team mates involved, and be aggressive. Honestly, if I didn't know that this was the first time Harden and Lin were playing together, I never would have been able to tell from how well they were working together. They're going to be a very dangerous combination.
His 12 assists impressed me more than his 37 points. Shows he's a star looking to make his teammates better, and not simply try to do everything himself.
