I'm not sure there are even 5k people in the stands right now in Toronto.

Wow.

 

[PapaG]

Igoudala's return to Philly, and first basket is a monster dunk off of a steal.

 

[crowTrobot]

harden vs. drummond about to start. should be interesting

 

[PapaG]

Houston seems to be playing ISO ball with Harden.

Interesting.

Houston seems to be playing ISO ball with Harden.

Interesting.

He hasn't had much time to practice. Also with OKC they did a ton of ISO clear out plays for him.

 

[B-Roy]

Harden looks like Roy out there.

 

[crowTrobot]

ironic if harden beat out durant for scoring title

 

[Boob-No-More]

Hibbert hasn't scored in the second half, but he had 14 pts, 6 reb, 2 ast and 2 blks at the half (he's now at 14/8/3/5 in the 4th). He would have fit well next to Aldridge.

Has there ever been an Opening Night Eff You triple-double?

Agree.

 

[RoyToy]

He would have fit well next to Aldridge.BNM

The contract wouldn't have

And this has been the deal with Hibbert. He's only averaged 30min a game because he gets tired. He slows down in the 2nd half.

 

[BrianFromWA]

contract wouldn't have been bad...we wouldn't have max space this summer, but then again, with potential all-stars at the frontcourt positions, Lillard, Wes and Batum I submit we wouldn't want to be max players this summer, anyway.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

James Harden.

fuck OKC.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Spencer Hawes would have been nice to have.
Or Eddy Curry.
or a big center.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

James Harden with 37pts and 12assts?!?

Wow!

 

[PapaG]

James Harden with 37pts and 12assts?!?

Wow!

37/6/12/4, but it was like watching Brandon Roy be able to just dominate the ball without worrying about feeding Oden or LMA.

I wonder how soon it will be until Rocket fans start talking about how boring it is to have a player dominate the game on the offensive end.

 

[PapaG]

Thomas Robinson looks like shit, by the way.

TWEENER

 

[Nikolokolus]

Harden with the big "eff u" opener. Pretty nice start.

 

[KingSpeed]

HArden....amazing. Thunder fans must miserable. Can we please merge this with the other Around the NBA thread?

HArden....amazing. Thunder fans must miserable. Can we please merge this with the other Around the NBA thread?

Yes. We need one thread for every other game of the year. It will be awesome and long. Sticky it, please.

PLEASE!!

What's your glitch with me, Eric?
