[Mr. NBA]

Harden is the leading scorer in the NBA hahaha

[beerdsly]

If it waant for oir turnovers this game wouldnt even be close

[EDUTEXANS]

After today, there will be people in Houston naming their kids James Harden.

[EDUTEXANS]

Atlanta hadn't seen a game like that since Dominique Wilkins.

[FOBolous]

Houston's trio tonight:

Jeremy Lin - 21 pts, 10 reb, 7 assists

James Harden -45 pts on 74% shooting, 7 reb

Omer Asik - 0 of 7 shooting , 19 rebs


all 3 of houston's trio beasted tonight. hellll yeeea...i can't be any more excited about our new team

[EDUTEXANS]

Well Lin did take a lot of bad shots and there were too many turnovers. Morris, Delfino and Patterson took some bad shots behind the arc, but we're 2-0 on two road games. We outrebounded Atlanta 58-36. 23 offensive rebounds, I just don't know how you could possibly lose a game with these numbers.

And PS, I know Patterson struggled on the offensive end, taking those bad shots and all, but he had a really good game defensively, he got 7 boards, I'm glad to see him back.

so marcus morris was ok....

Hello from Berlin/Germany again...

After I couldn't watch the Pistons Game, I could watch that one in Atlanta via stream. I was really scared before the game, a very young Houston Team, playing the Hakws, a playoff Team in the East with hard defenders like Horford and Smith.

But Harden and Lin killed them, really. Din't exprect that, also the boards by Lin, or Asik (19), only on offense he had an off night. Great game, and damn Harden's 45 Points, I think last time somebody scored so much for the Rockets it was McGrady in 2008.

As a Rockets Fan I hope better years to come that the last ones.

Tell me, what superstar wouldn't wanna play with Harden? He is so unselfish and has proven he can take a game over on his own.

[datboyb]

lmao, I just saw a post in a thread about Harden on the NBA forum that said, "Atlanta will be relieved they only have to play against Durant next game." laughed out loud << literally

Lin had a good game and Asik tore it up, still no minutes for T. Jones but Morris played a ton better. Toney Douglas still sucks by the way, no helping that dumbass.

Morey looking smart based on the last 2 games with his 3 acquisitions this summer. I don't know why there was this criticism that both Lin and Harden need to dominate the ball to succeed. They look like they're doing a good job of working together to me...and have only been together 2 games. It would help if there's a consistent 3rd scorer coming from one of the big men positions. Starting backourt (66 points & 17 rebounds) and the center pulling down 19 rebounds. And these guys are just adjusting to the new season. I wonder what OKC would have looked like this year with Harden. Harden's just coming off the Olympic team so Morey might have gotten him at just the right time. Just when he's heading toward his peak with some Olympic seasoning. If Morey found some way to add a high flying Blake Griffin type power forward scorer in the offseason, this team could be really flying.
