His statline is pretty amazing
37/12/5
Its against Detroit, but still...
Stat padding vs a ty team...
He's a baller...plain and simple. The best part is he's only gonna get better from here.
Stop with the ty team excuse. Dude is for real.
when he does that a few times against good defenders, then we doubters wrong. need good sample sizes
Great start. I'll post the highlights when Clutch puts them up.
What we can say right now is he did pretty amazing in his first game as a Rocket.
Someone can bump this thread when he dominates a really good defender, regardless he's played a good game.
lol dip spurfan
#Beardsanity is trending on Twitter. lol
HOORAY BEARD
bloating stats on a ty team doesn't mean much imho
Anything that gets rocketfan feeling confident again is good in my book.
I'm usually one of the first people to talk about "let's see how they do against good teams", but you can't deny that Harden's ceiling is higher than most of you were willing to admit. These are impressive numbers to be putting up on a team he's barely had any practice with. There's more factors than just playing a bad team.
Harden was allowed to have more responsibility for a longer period of time during this game than he was in OKC, and he's already eclipsed his career high in assists by 33% in his first game, and was only 3 short of his career high in points at the same time.
Just goes to show, the only reason Harden's stats weren't already impressive is because he wans't allowed to carry enough load to get those numbers. OKC went all in on Westbrook and didn't give Harden enough of a chance. I may have been in the minority who thought Harden was better than Westbrook, but that perception is going to change now that Harden's getting the same touches as Westbrook.
Harden: 4th best SG in NBA at worst right now. Probably 3rd atm with Mr. Glass out again. If Harden keeps up even 2/3rds of what he just did all season, he's going to be in the same category as Kobe and Wade.
hopefully thunderup is chugging bleach after that performance
harden is very talented. people compare his contract to joe johnson's but harden is already better than him. in fact, he is a top 3 SG right now and only 23. he isn't one dimensional and he might even become the best shooting guard since dwyane wade. he's everything that brandon roy was supposed to be. playmaker, scorer, shoot the 3, can help out on the boards, and play solid defense.
That last drive he did for the and one was superstar stuff.
Crazy all the assists given the little practice time with the team.
He was impressive. Houston needs to keep making moves, though. I think they need to try to get ahead of the curve instead of following everyone when they target players. Do like the Patriots do and snag a guy before people realize he's on the market. I think the Harden trade was a great example of being aggressive in a good way. They should find other targets like that, and go for good value when they do.
, maybe someone like Chandler or Granger would be good. I'm still going to keep beating the Cousins drum though.
That'll make Oklahoma hicks whiter than white clothes.
Beats the out of having Kevin Martin as your best player.
Look at who he was playing, tbh.....
