    Refs almost lost the game for us. All the non-calls and at one point it looked like Lin was on his way to being fouled out.:mad:

    Should they be designed like red flannel to match Harden's lumberjack-esque beard?

    yea it's going to be tricky cause it seems to only work when the both of them are in court together. Any thoughts on this?

    This teams offense is going to be great. Defense takes more practice together and that was by far the weak link in this game. I expect it to get much better over the next few weeks and months. And to think, Houston is sitting on a max money that they can just patiently wait on until the perfect deal comes along in the next couple years. Such a young team...

    That was fun to watch! That Judge Reinhold is pretty good, its nice to have a center that knows his role.

    My point was only that Lin's not at Harden's level right now, but Lin's just starting. He'll get even better than he is now... no idea what his cieling will be, but with his work ethic I expect him to get significantly better than his already solid play.

    Still a long way to go. We need our bench to perform. Playoffs? may be or may not be.

    Lin has this habit of shooting long twos with his toe on the three point line. Just put you foot back a couple of inches dude.

    Really impressive Debut from Harden and starters.. it feels weird having a player of James Harden caliber after what we've had the past couple seasons but it feels great! thanks OKC! :grin:

    Good comeback. Parsons had a bad game despite a nice start with the 3s. The bench really has to be more productive, can't rely on 40+ minutes from Harden every game... Harden obviously a mfing beast today, too bad he didn't break the 40 mark with his last 3 lol. Weird choice of bench players to play today by Mchale.

    20 turnovers was bad, but to be expected as Harden hadn't played with this team before.
    That stat will get better.

    Tony Douglas can shoot, but he is very streaky...get used to it. That being said, he has no idea on how to run an offence.

    Greg Smith was lovely. Heart and hustle. Exactly what this team needs. Pray that he is ok.

    I expect Cook to also get better. He is a good shooter, but also very streaky.

    Carlos Da Man Delfino...you guys did realise that we have 2 Olympians on our Roster, right?
    A downtown threat, great compliment to this team.

    Lin played well tonight, the turnovers can be attributed to new players. He was very unlucky with not getting at least 4 more calls when going to the basket. Once he is 100% healthy look out!

    Parsons was up and down tonight. 4/5 from the stripe was awesome. He needs to be more aggressive on offence and not try to be like White, running the break and flashy passing.

    Morris, his stats show 6 points 7 rebounds 3/10 shooting...but he looked lost out there. He is just not big enough to be a power forward...could he succeed in this league? Yes, but he needs to find his role.

    Asik, what's not to like? 12 points, 9 boards & 2 blks...although he needs to work on his free throw shooting, pronto.

    James Harden...Our star. Wow. He filled up the stat sheet tonight. When he wasn't scoring, he was getting his teammates involved and playing some great defence. Scary thing is, he will only get better once he acclimatises to his new surroundings. 30ppg scorer this season, book it.

    I forgot about Asik! I see in the boxscore that they gave him 9 rebounds but it felt like waaay more than that. Posting that man up is just pointless. He makes the opposing player take really difficult shots.

    I noticed he was frustrated with the help defense(MMorris I'm looking at you man!).

    On offense, he is getting pretty good at going under the basket and using the glass.
