Best SG in the league tbh.. number 2 behind Kobe at worst.

Happy to say I was wrong about Harden, well done son.. so far. Though I doubt he won't continue at a high level even if not this high
Lin and Asik had good nights as well. Moreyball doing work.
Harden going Timothy McVeigh on Oklahoma City
This is good news. OKC fans will kill themselves and the population of Chokelahoma will dramatically be reduced.
41 PPG. Jeez.
OKC
Is Isiah Thomas running the team in OKC?
41ppg on 28-44 shooting and 6-14 from 3.
sons don't make it sound like he is the 2nd coming of jordan tbh, might be legit but still has alot to prove.
HAM mode tbh. I'm not shaving till December.
Who is det in your sig son?
Yep. Lin with 21pts 10rebs (5 off) and 7 assist, Asik with 19 rebounds and 9 offensive rebounds. The Rockets had 23 offensive rebounds on the Hawks and outrebounded them 58-36
Fat Felton
What we know is that two games have proven that OKC were very stupid to trade Harden.
They paid Westbrook over Harden. OKC was going to keep Durant and Ibaka regardless. It was always between Westbrook and Harden, and they chose Westbrook last year.41 PPG. Jeez.
Was obvious Harden was gonna be gone ever since they inked that deal with Russhog Chuckbrick.
I have no idea. I got it off of a wrestling message board. I didn't get the name of the poster I got it from.
Rockets are 2-0. Harden's 82 pts are the most for a player in a team's 1st 2 games since Jordan scored 91pts in 1986

How awesome is Houston going to be when they add a max guy next summer?
Also, Morey deserves credit for looking to get players who are in situations where they are more expensive to their previous team(All 3 of Asik, Lin and Harden more expensive to their previous teams due to the tax), Were going to be in smaller roles(And thus, less valuable in terms of on court value to Chicago, NY and OKC than they are to Houston), and they were all in positions where there contracts were limited in value(They got the max Morey could give them as Asik and Lin were restricted to MLE for the first 2 years, and Harden can only be given max(By definition with a max, paid below completely free market rate). That's great work as a GM.
Also, Kevin martin has 34 points on 21 FGA through 2 games, and everyone realizes that OKC screwed up. That's how good Harden has been.
martin's contract is expiring IIRC and it seems more like a salary dump move for them imho, they're based in a small market so it's understandable that they're tryna avoid paying luxury tax at all cost.New career high for James Jordan. . .I mean James Harden. 45 points on 14/19 shooting (73.6%).
Completely took a dump on the Hawks in the 4th quarter, lightning them up for 18 of Houstons 28 points that quarter.
The Rockets were giving Harden the ball on just about every possession in the last 6 minutes, and he shat all over the Hawks to carry Houston to a win.
Averaging 41 PPG right now.
and i don't think winning the championship was ever a realistic goal for this team even w/o trading harden, when miami was clearly dominating the league and are locked for future 5 consecutive les at least. OKC wouldn't win the championship anytime soon anyways so it seems to me that they just made a smart move in trading an inconsistent overrated for a bag of wonderkids and good financial flexibility imho
Morey's had a good offseason. Great draft. Smart signing with Asik. Lin was a decent signing, losing Dragic hurt. Getting a good pick for Lowry and using assets to get Harden.
same could be said about the lakers as well based on the first two games imho. 2 games ain't proving , OKC got an established monkeyball system and it takes time for the new signings to adapt.
he def on the right track ta makin okc look like chumps. If I see him doin this against a contending team a few times then I'll say he legit star wit superstar potential.
provin bout Nash but Howard already improvement ova Bynum.
