[QUOTE="No_Hablo_Ingles"][QUOTE="DroidPhysX"] Talk to me when he does this against a team not named Atlanta Hawks or Detroit Pistons. Or when he does this over a season not a rerun of Jeremy Lin where you fall down to earth as soon as teams have tapes on your game.Put_in_Kitna

We've only played those two teams. Your argument is moot dude. Maybe when he doesn't go for 35+ you can say that, but until then, respect the LEADING SCORER IN THE NBA, you dumb c***. Oh yeah, and Asik has like 20 rebounds. The man leads the entire NBA in scoring right now, his true shooting % has not dropped without Durant and Westbrook but actually improved (The Same can not be said of Westbrooks and Harden).

:lol: Respect the leading scorer in the Nba? Harden? LOL. Enjoy that. What a waste you are. Im pretty sure you were laughing the same way at the Knicks fans when they were all hyped over Lin. Hell at least he did his s*** for double digit games, your happy about 2 games. I guess its hard since you are a Rockets fan. I will let you be.

Exactly. I will enjoy it while it last. Also, don't compare Harden to Lin. Harden was a 3rd overall pick who was clearly talented, ask any Lakers fan who they feared more Westbrooks or Harden. Lin came from nowhere.

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"][QUOTE="No_Hablo_Ingles"] Dude, I'm a Rockets fan..

My condolences.

Your condolences are not longer needed, but thanks. We have direction, and I believe we have our Superstar in Harden. He will never be as good as LeBron or Howard, but I'm hoping we get D-Wade out of him :P

that guy saying "talk to me when Harden does this for a full season" I hope you're prepared for Harden to put up at least 25+ a game cause he was efficient off the bench for OKC with less minutes, it's no surprise that he's doing what he's doing right now. The guy was supposed to be a starter coming out of college, OKC just needed him off the bench to help with their 2nd unit

Word, Harden averaged like 28 pts per 36 minutes last season. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see him average 24-25 PPG.

Lakers fans respect him... this gives me hope they we actually found our cornerstone. "Harden's 82 pts are the most for a player in a team's 1st 2 games since Jordan scored 91pts in 1986 #NBA via @JalenRose" Yeah, a bench-warming scrub

Mike Brown's rotation is awful, seriously. There need to be at least 2 starters on the floor at all times. Period. The bench is a turd.

The worst thing that can come from this Knicks/Heat game is the Knicks winning because that would convince d4e that the Knicks will beat the Heat in the playoffsJML897

Thats the worst logic ive ever heard. Beating the Miami Heat by 20 with a banged up team including two starters out is more than enough reason to believe. KNICKS.

It's not the offense. It's the defense. The Lakers offense was fine in the first two games. 106 points and 56 percent shooting should win you any game, period. And to boot, they outrebounded portland by 15. They gave up 116. That's on the defense.

No one is saying he is bad. 24ppg wouldn't surprise anyone. Just laughed at the him leading league in scoring. I look forward to seeing him put up big numbers in 40 plus losses.

Exactly, but some fans are blaming the system. Hubbie Brown summarized well how the Lakers offense in fact has improve so far.

Yeah, people are too quick to slam the offense. The Lakers probably win against Dallas if not for the turnovers and awful defense. Same against Portland. The offense was rolling, they had no answer for Dwight or Kobe. But that won't matter much if you can't stop people.

Put_in_Kitna

Yeah, they are. Can't keep up with anybody in transition, can't defend the pick and roll, turners, not enough outside fire power, no bench...... It's early, really early in the season, but I don't see it changing much in the near future.

The city of NY needed that win more than the Heat last night. After the whole Sandy relief thing, it would of been demoralizing to go into Madison Square and destroy the Knicks as usually.

You have to give the Knicks some credit. They came out ready to play and they were inspired. Miami looked awful.

Although I love Knicks pests proclaiming Melo killed Lebron last night... dude scored 30 points on 28 shots. That's horrible. The Knicks hit their 3s last night. That was the biggest difference.

I'm not trying to take anything away from the Knicks since they did go out and get that win, but I'm just calling it like I see it. The Heat weren't playing with the same urgency they had in their opening game. They were getting blown by their opponent on the perimeter which opened up the three point game for NY. It's been a while since I've seen the Heat play such terrible perimeter and help defense.

Miami was put in an awkward position coming into an area that was struggling. I couldn't see it any other way, the Heat had to give this game.

Miami looked lackadaisical on defense last night. Slow to rotations and leaving guys wide open for threes. Rarely see that from them.

Fun win though, and enoyed it as a Knicks fan. I'm still skeptical of the team but I liked some of the things I saw last night.
