Was the Hype for Harden premature?

Sample size.
37 and 45 shows he CAN score a ton. Not everyone can (or does) do that.
Main issue is the Rockets roster is a mess right now. 13 new players, most of them rookies, no training camp for Harden, and trying to teach offensive and defensive sets on the fly.
Won't be able to say much of anything until we're closer to the all star break.

The hype for every team/player in only 5 games is premature.
Miami Sports
Miami Heat- (4-1) So much for sweeping our way to a title
Miami Dolphins- (0-0) Awaiting new season
Miami Marlins- (10-24) When will the suffering end?
UM Hurricanes- (7-5) 1st in ACC Coast

Hype is always premature. That's why it's hype.

His game against the Blazers wasn't great but it wasn't terrible either.
Last night, he was guarded by the best perimeter defender in the league.
Only time will tell.

Lol because he was guarded by Iggy, probably the best wing defender in the NBA.
Relax

Obviously nobody expected him to keep that pace, and 19 ppg isn't terrible.

It's really a shame because everyone on here HAD to start riding Hardens nuts.. when in reality the Harden that we are going to see the majority of the time is the one from the last two games.
He can fill it up but he will be one of those inconsistent guys. So to answer the OP, yes it was premature
