    James Harden is what #5 in the nba in scoring? Harden has proved enough there was a year after Shaq left where Kobe couldn't get the lakers in the playoffs!

    Did you even watch the game? Lmao, keep using box scores as your primary source to trash players.

    Lin didn't play almost a quarter. And I couldn't give an ass if Lin destroyed Blake, but the rockets loss.

    Grow the **** up, kid.

    Yep Steve Blake had a career high and hit the three to take the first laker lead. I saw that.

    What worries me is that money from Chinese sponsors doesn't win playoff games, and once the fans begin to figure that out, will Jeremy still be their hero.

    And if not.

    Will there be a backlash.

    And if so.

    Will any other team take on his contract.

    How many years ago? Brooks is a shell of himself. I guess Blake > Tony Parker

    No that's what you Lin fans and Lin needs to do if he doesn't want to embarrass himself and this city in the next four games. It's already embarrassing that people have to put everything on Harden, Beverley and McHale because Lin won't be a man and take demand.

    Nope but it happened when it was Brooks time it is Lin's time right now but what will he do? We will see. By the way Blake was better back then also.

    Lin already admitted he needs to be better on twitter so that proves that but Harden will need to play better as well... The whole team but Lin really disappointed me tonight. I expected more with Nash being out.

    What money is Houston getting from asian sponsors? People keep talking about these chinese sponsors but I never see any evidence.

    Nobody should be embarrassed now just ticked off there is still opportunity against OKC to prove things. This performance was a joke there is no getting around that.

    We lost today because mchale plays mismatch. We can not
    get rebounds and defense when Lakers plays Gasol and DH
    but we plays smalls.

    Lakers immediately raped us in the early 4th quarter.
    You should just stop trolling, meaningless.

    #5 in scoring doesn't mean he's an elite player (yet). In April, Harden shot a subpar 40.3% from the field and 33.3% from 3's. Yes he got to the foul line a lot but he also averaged 5 TOs/game in April, many in the paint when he was looking for a call but didn't get the whistle. And why was he chucking up 3's on Monday in Phoenix if he knew his knee had stiffed up (0-for-7)? And even don't get me started on his ISOs or lack of D.

    Harden is very young and will most likely continue to improve and get better, but he still has ways to go to be considered a proven superstar.
