    Those two things stand out to me too.

    Harden is playing at a methodical pace, that's not what he did in 2014-15. different style

    And this team looks better than last year. Same page, in shape, etc

    That's all Knicks fans can do. What a terrible organization.

    Harden is proof that Nash is over-rated

    I think you put Harden with prime Stat and Matrix in those Suns team and you win a chip.

    Got to admit I was worried about this game that we'd be underwhelming and gassed after last nights game to the Cavs.
    Glad the boys pulled it out and got the win convincingly, whilst giving the young guns some good minutes!

    30 assists with only 4 turnovers. My favorite stat right now over the past 24 hrs.

    Harden is so good its ridiculous. Suffering through the down years after Yao makes it all that much sweeter lol

    I'm glad to see Houston fans finally coming around to James being a top 5 player. Sad it took this long for some to figure out.

    Remember last year when we were setting records by losing 3 in a row to start the season, yeah this is much better.

    Harden is a machine!

    Suck it Melo- you were "too good" to come to Houston and I thank you for that.

    Awesome game!! Looking at the box score, Harden was extra great offensively.. Very impressive shooting and distributing with low TOs. KJ's defense appears to have been all-world. If he shoots near 35% 3PT, oh man. Harrell was very active on both ends. Really liking the defensive numbers, low FG% and PA. Gordon did his thing... please let that guy stay healthy. We were able to rest NeNe 2NB2B.

    I would say they are more fun to watch, but McHale got us to the Western Conference Finals, and so he extracted about as much out of that team as possible. D'Antoni may very well do the same, but long way to go, with what looks to me more like a .500 team. Bickerstaff wasn't ready. He got nothing out of the players, but he wasn't all bad, they actually improved a little which is saying a lot given how disconnected they were to open the season.
