    Interesting that after his incredible start he's now avg 25.9 PPG, shooting 43% and 25% from 3, his TO's (4.57) just about equal his assists per game (4.6). I wonder how his full season stats will end up?

    That will happen when they have no other talent on the team.

    ...Harden is a perennial "choke artist" when it comes to coming through in the clutch, sadly, his entire career will be marred by this. OKC was the perfect situation for him since he would much rather be a 3rd or even 4th option on a good team. Does anyone remember how his Sun Devils career went down? More of the same :sigh:

    Jeremy Lin is having a decent season.

    These latest stats must be wrong, though, because I was under the impression that Harden was the greatest player who ever lived.

    well the trade happened so fast that Harden didn't really have a "system" to play in and other defenses didn't really scout him. he was basically playing street ball.

    Harden should change his name to Yao Ming Jr.

    I already said that because of China, they will be the starting backcourt in the all-star game.

    Lin and Asik are talented.

    I thought he played for Arizona.

    Nate- you still wish we traded LA for Harden? Harden is garbage.

    It's just the Hornets, but at the half he has 19 on 7-11 shooting. Also, Lin's not scoring much, but 4 points, 3 steals, 3 assists and a couple of boards at the half isn't too bad. But again, its the Hornets, so....

    ...you thought wrong, again :devilwink: He choked in the 2009 Pac-10 tourney to USC and couldn't even get his team out of the second round of the South Regional.

    Did you expect him to average 35 and 12 on the year?

    He was All-Pac10 tournament that year. Damian Lillard couldn't even get his team to the NIT. Does it matter?

    ...probably, Harden crumbles in the biggest of games [he may have some accolades and awards, but he doesn't have the W's when they count the most]

    I have yet to see Lillard play in a "BIG" game so I can't really say for certain.
