That dude must be hurt or on a fast or something. Is that chucking? Wait i need to check his Fts to see if he is really shooting bad. J/k. Harden needs to wake up fast.

Lebron had an 18-49 stretch with 12 TOs in 2009-10 and 18-47 with 12 TOs last year. Harden's stretch is just one notch below that! Those stretches were when Lebron was a seasoned veteran, not a 23 year old.

Well let's see if Harden could take his team to the Finals...

Houston's now on a 7 game losing streak with Jeremy Lin as their starting PG. The starting PG position is a position of leadership. And Jeremy Lin is currently failing in Houston. Only 9 points after shooting 4/12 against the Hornets, along with 5 Turnovers to make it even worse? An awful, more like a horrible 2/13 shooting with only 7 points during a 7 point loss against the 76ers? Being out played/performed by a backup in Bledsoe during CP's absence? Being out played by Rondo? Now last night going 3/12 (horrible) with only 12 points against Minny? Only 2 assists when compared to 3 turnovers? Yet another Jeremy Lin/Houston loss. Basketball is a team game yes, but Jeremy Lin himself is a big time reason why Houston's dropped seven consecutive. A big reason why at that.

Jeremy Lin, as a starting PG, has been nothing but mediocre dating back to last season. 6 game losing streak with our Knicks last season followed by already losing 7 consecutive here in 2012-2013. Sat out the entire playoffs. This kid isn't a winner. A below average and/or mediocre record of 36-32 as a starting PG thus far. How about we watch Lin begin to lead his teams to victories, on a consistent basis before talking him up as some type of "must have PG" in which our Knicks front office let walk. And rightfully so too. Especially considering the fact that Houston paid out millions upon millions of dollars for A.) A kid who's never won in this league. B.) Was sleeping on a couch last season and C.) Doesn't deserve and/or never earned the type of money he's currently getting.

My guess tells me, that Houston over paid for a player who's never been a leader, has never shown leadership ability, and will never become a true leader. But yea, it was nice to check the scoreboard and see that both Chicago and Atlanta lost. Just can't get over the fact that Jeremy Lin was made out to be some type of can't miss prospect and/or anything other than a dime a dozen type of NBA career journeyman. No different than Chris Copeland. You put Copeland on another team outside of the Knicks, and ask him to score points, and Copeland would put up buckets as a 28 year old rookie.

If the Rockets continue their losing ways with Lin under control (starting PG), Jeremy Lin himself will be considered one of the most overrated career journeyman of all-time heading into next season. At the age of 24, Lin should be better than this. Much better than this to say the least. Kid's like Kyrie Irving are dropping 23.1 points and 5.7 assists per game at the age of only 20... Please, never let me see someone use Irving and the Cavs as an excuse to Lin's current situation there in Houston.

sounds very familiar..

Source says that the Memphis Grizzlies may keep Rudy Gay, and instead trade Zach Randolph to the Houston Rockets. Houston loves Randolph.

Might be Z-Bo, although they wouldn't need to trad Lin to make it work, just enough of the kids + Delfino would get it done.

Next season will be Zach's thirteenth. Morey seems to be going for guys who haven't entered their primes, not players with a lot of wear and tear.

Yet they traded for Pau Gasol last season?
