    How crazy is this? We've got a superstar shooting guard, folks, and quite possibly an All Star point guard. Acquired in one off-season, no less. Along with an outstanding center!

    AMAZING!!

    Yea even if he can't make shots, he's banging for boards and moving the ball well. Solid. Love the guy's motor. Even if his shot isn't falling, he doesn't slack off.

    Yeah 40 minutes probably felt like a lot to his legs... they left in the 4th quarter.

    James Harden for MVP! Kobe will never score 45 with 19 shots!

    Parsons is going to need to be big for the Rockets doing all the little things.. he's definitely the glue.

    superstar game from Harden, great game from Lin, great game from Asik. Parsons disappeared for too many stretches in the game. Morris continues to surprise me.

    The perimeter defense continues to plague the Rox, but with speedsters like Williams and Teague, I guess any perimeter defense would look weak. Nevertheless they really need to fix this. Our bigs consistently get exposed to foul situations because of the ease that the opposing guards penetrate.

    Offensively, I'm happy with what I'm seeing. The PnR always geenrates ball movement which is important in any offense. Our guys just need to hit the open shots.

    My final thoughts:
    [​IMG]
    Im so damn proud of this team. So much heart and hustle for such a YOUNG team that refused to give up to quite a tough defensive team like the Hawks.
    Was it a pretty win? No. Was there a lot of ugly moments? plenty and from EVERYONE (put all your biases aside). Asik with the non-existent offense. James with turnovers. Lin with the ugly shot. Chandler with..everything etc.
    But they ALL still contributed in other areas. ASIKnDestroy and Lin with the MONSTER rebounds. King James with the offense like a boss. Chandler with the assists and so forth. Pessimistic people shouldnt focus so much on the mistakes that they'll eventually learn from when they're still getting those W's and showing so much potential at the same time.

    /drops mic and exits stage.

    Are you freakin' kidding me?????
    Dude gets 20, 10, and 7 in a win and you're dogging him?? If anybody made anything among th dozens of freebies he's been giving, we would've walked away with an EASY one. smh

    Can't wait for Morris' highlights.

    Harden can't be this good every night, but these first 2 sure make you salivate.

    do the math...21 points on 16 shots is 1.31 points per shot, that's not bad

    DWade averaged 1.29 points per shot
    Westbrook last year averaged 1.23 points per shot

    your point is wrong. Negates the fact he hit a few treys and took multiple trips to the line.
