    Great game. Harden was a beast aside from a few sloppy passes. Lin still has some kinks to work out as far as decision making goes, but overall had a really good game. Glad Morris is finally showing up. And can't forget the man in the middle grabbing all those boards. Damn I love this team.

    Was sarcasm.

    Keep hearing grumbles of "Only two games..."

    I don't think it means nothing. I think it means everything.

    He's GOING to cool off, I mean if he doesn't cool off then he'd be setting records...he's going to cool off....but all the knocks on Harden should be washed awya.

    That he can only be so good. That WB and Durant made him look better. That he only played against reserves. Hear those far too many times I think he's already shut those up so now all people have to say is "Only 2 games."

    By March let shope they are saying. "Only one season."

    Don't want to be negative at all... But how does this happen:
    Asik - 19 boards, but 1 assist and 0 points?!?

    Actually Lou Williams was scoring at will on Harden down the stretch. Considering Harden was spending so much energy being the only one generating offense effectively, I don't blame him for not being tougher on D.

    3 TO isn't struggling.

    Harden had 5 TO tonight. If 3 TO is struggling then Harden was completely sucking. People have to STOP stressing a few turnovers as a big deal. Missing out on all the other elements of a players game and what they bring to the table.

    He's the black Ben Wallace of our big 3: Omer Lin Harden.

    58 boards vs. 36. Difference maker in that game. That's what kept us in even w/ the terrible shooting. Asik!!!

    We seriously need backups for our backcourt. And the jury is still out on Aldrich. So how is Greg Smith?

    We cannot seriously expect Harden and Lin to play 40+ minutes a game without risking serious injury. And if just one of them gets injured, the Rockets are done for the season, with Tony Douglas starting (or whoever is backing up Harden).

    I think if you DONATE you get the option to ignore. I know you get the option to edit forum posts if you donate.

    Great Stuff. Great Start from the boyz. Hope we can finish the back 2 back string at home 2morrow.

    Worried about backup PG and SG positions.

    I get it.

    Yeah, it's a little surreal. As currently created we probably wouldn't get any respect even if Harden's performance stayed consistently great and we made it into the playoffs.

    23 offensive rebounds! 9 from Asik and 5 from Lin! Surprising stat of the night though Hawks are small.

    gotta do something about that bench--someone has to provide playmaking. Confidence is all low and they keep bricking shots.
