James Harden - 43 pts/8 assists; Dwight - 20 pts/11 reb/2 blks (All in 3 quarters)

[Smook A.]

Harden also had 2 steals. Talk about a beast game for the 2 best players at their position man... I know it was against the kings but damn! Stats are stats.

If it wasn't a blowout, Harden could've easily had 50

Can't believe some of y'all say this isn't a top 5 duo in the league

[imnew09]

43 was Kobe's avg for a month...

Congratulations. That's Kobe Bryant. You're talking about one of the greats. The greats always have great months

Annnnnnnd here we go.

[Milbuck]

:applause: Harden's really taking that next step to becoming a star. Wish him the best.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Harden is the best star that Howard has played alongside

[oh the horror]

Anyway Harden has to have these monster games throughout the post season for them to make serious noise.

Dwight also had a good game

its no coincidence Kobe had his best season with Dwight. Dwight attracts double teams.

Nah, Kobe last year was playing far better than Harden is this year.

[Smook A.]

True but Houston is winning way more games than LA did last year. Dwight and Harden are perfect

[Milbuck]

You're joking right?

[Smook A.]

You're joking right?
If he's talking about the best star get got ALONG with, then I think he's right

[Jacks3]

lol what? Kobe has had about 8-9 seasons better than 2013.

[Levity]

Harden was so fun to watch that first quarter. He pretty much went through every king when driving into the paint.

[Smook A.]

lol what? Kobe has had about 8-9 seasons better than 2013.
I think he forgot the season where Kobe averaged 35 ppg

[Milbuck]

If he's talking about the best star get got ALONG with, then I think he's right
He said Harden was the best player Dwight has played with, when Dwight played with Kobe last season. Harden right now is not better than last season's Kobe. That's really it.

[Mr. Jabbar]

are they good? can the heat get them?

True

That joke is getting old, bruh

[J Shuttlesworth]

BULLSHIT. What did Kobe/Howard result in? First round playoff sweep? They shouldn't have made the playoffs but Stern had to gift them into the playoffs. Kobe put up numbers, but they were EMPTY STATS. Houston right now have the third seed. If they keep it up, they will have HCA first round. Kobe with Howard couldn't even sniff the idea of HCA. Don't bring up that empty stat fool in this thread.

And you think Harden/Howard is gonna do much better? :oldlol:

You can't possibly be this stupid.

[UK2K]

Houston has won 10 of 11.

Best record since Jan 1.

Morey took Hamilton who never played in Denver he debuted with 12 points and a few boards and defensive stops.

This Houston team is firing on all cylinders. They have the toughest schedule of ANYONE this season in their next 8 games or so.

They're gonna be a tough team to beat.

[MellowYellow]

He said Harden was the best player Dwight has played with, when Dwight played with Kobe last season. Harden right now is not better than last season's Kobe. That's really it.

and i am sure thats all they mean. It's not like Dwight played with prime Kobe. Stop taking things out of context.

[Milbuck]

I don't understand..what exactly did I take out of context?

[Smook A.]

No but last season Kobe played like he was in his prime. I don't understand why Lakers did bad that year. Maybe it was the coaching, or even their bad bench

[MellowYellow]

I don't understand..what exactly did I take out of context?

He is just saying that Harden is better than Kobe was last year and thus better than anyone Dwight has ever played with, which is true since he never played with prime Kobe.

[russwest0]

No but last season Kobe played like he was in his prime. I don't understand why Lakers did bad that year. Maybe it was the coaching, or even their bad bench

They went into the season with Mike Brown as the HC, got off to a shit start, fired Brown, hired a horrible fit in D'Antoni as the HC, went through a number of injuries, and had an awful bench. Kobe was the only consistent producer for that team.

They shouldn't of even made the playoffs but the league shamelessly dragged them into the playoffs.

[MellowYellow]

If you think last year's Kobe is the same as prime Kobe. :facepalm

[imnew09]

Empty stats

I know Iverson puts up empty stats, 24k points and he aint even got a ring

[imnew09]

Harden is the best star that Howard has played alongside

Harden dropped 22ppg while Kobe dropped 27ppg last season :roll: :lol

[Milbuck]

He is just saying that Harden is better than Kobe was last year and thus better than anyone Dwight has ever played with, which is true since he never played with prime Kobe.
I understood that. And I stated my response to that, which was that Kobe last season was better than Harden this season.

[Smook A.]

Harden dropped 22ppg while Kobe dropped 27ppg last season :roll: :lol
Harden averaged 26 ppg last season not 22. Lol Where the hell did you get 22 from?

[ABfor3]

Harden dropped 22ppg while Kobe dropped 27ppg last season :roll: :lol
Yeah and the lakers sucked throughout the season, especially when everybody thought they were a lock for the finals...that tank doe

[imnew09]

Harden averaged 26 ppg last season not 22. Lol Where the hell did you get 22 from?

Oh I thought you didn't know math... This makes it easier because 27 > 26

[bdreason]

Rockets looking scary. Hoping to avoid them in the first round.

Warriors could beat them, Bogut and Lee can handle Dwight

Explain the 2 wins we have on them this season. Our only loss to them was a super close game with Howard having an off night.

They have a great core going forward.. Two top 10 players helps.

[el_locoteee]

Since harden is playing for Houston, Rockets have dominated the Warriors.
Is all about Match ups but I will love the Rockets to stay away from facing the OKC and Clippers in the first 2 rounds, the rest I'm feeling pretty confidence.

[Smook A.]

Steve Blake
Yeah, he always goes off against the Rockets. When he faced us with Warriors he didn't do that good which was a great thing

[Smook A.]

Rockets looking scary. Hoping to avoid them in the first round.
As a Rockets fan it'd be cool to see Rockets vs Warriors in the first round. It's always a fun matchup when we face off. Always competitive

[brantonli]

pretty sure the warriors were missing Iggy and bogut for one or both of those games.

[Lordsteven]

Harden is the best star that Howard has played alongside

here we go. :coleman:

[tmacattack33]

43 was Kobe's avg for a month...

Yes, in a month in which Kobe averaged 29.5 shot attempts per game

Last night, James Harden took 20 shots.

Kobe Bryant has scored more than 40 points on 20 or less shots one total time in his career. And in this game he did not have 8 assists, only 5.

[UK2K]

Harden has averaged 34,7,6 over his last 5 games.

I bet Milbuck is punching holes in his wall right now.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Good thing OKC traded him for magic beans :oldlol:

[Milbuck]

Harden has averaged 34,7,6 over his last 5 games.

I bet Milbuck is punching holes in his wall right now.
Brandon Jennings had a 5 game stretch of 32/5/7/1 on 52/59/74 shooting 64TS% 122 ORTG. 5 game stretches are overrated.

He's playing well, but I'll only be punching holes in my wall when he doesn't get exposed in the playoffs.

Except Jennings isnt playing for THE hottest team in basketball.

As in, nobody has a better record over the past two months.

So what if the Rockets run into OKC in the second round? You gonna dog him cause they lost to the second best player in the world?

And for the record, Harden has averaged 29,6,4 with 2 steals shooting 49/45/92 for THE WHOLE MONTH.

Should be WCPotM.

[Le Shaqtus]

Houston is the team we wre unable to give Dwight in Orlando, f*ck you Otis Smith :mad:

Still, love watching Houston play :applause:
