    You don't strike me as someone who is consistently negative about everything the Rockets do night in and night out, though. Those are the people that are grating gears around here.

    In all seriousness, why did the players give Curry the nod on the All-Star vote? Can't understand it.

    I think you beautifully captured the magic of James Harden.

    F*ck all the bandwagoners, preteens, and stubborn old men that try to undermine his greatness.

    They're just jealous he's in Houston :p

    Neither do I. I was under the (mistaken, apparently) impression that Harden was a bit more liked amongst players than Curry.

    CP3 is HOF first ballot, Faried won't make it. Call it a career achievement award for the $40 M. Plus Morey knows that stars beget more stars... and ring chasers like Faried that can put you over the top...

    Wow. We won a game where the other team's entire starting lineup had a positive +/-

    Terrance Ross off the bench was a -28 lol

    Even considering the early start this season, the "before ASB" caveat might be legit since it's not February yet.

    Honestly it feels like I'm watching a lefty version of MJ from my childhood *well except dunks, but MJ didnt have the stepback 3* Never imagined the Rockets would have a scorer like this. It's surreal and so awesome to witness :cool:

    they have an early start but play about the same games. They start early to allow for more rest days

    Lol. Of course they play "about" the same amount. Lol. But the total has increased since they forwarded the start date.

    Harden is really close to reaching that zenith where not only does his game not have any weaknesses .... but he's excellent at everything.

    The only thing he can do is try and put all his accumulated moves together and work on staying locked in .

    I think he's taking that leap his season

    Hardens overall level of play and impact on the game is as good as I've ever seen .

    This. He has played very well in the playoffs but admittedly has also had some off games (I still think he was concussed for one of them.)

    My hope/wish is that he takes this level of play into the playoffs and dominates to the extent that the refs can't take it from him.
