6th man -- now clutch starter.

37 pts, 12 assists.

Followed that up with 45 Pts, 7 Reb, 2 Ast. against the Hawks.

Could be the most exciting Rockets team since Hakeem the Dream was in his prime.

Lin-Harden suddenly gives the Rockets one of the top guard combos in the NBA.

Harden seems to be coming back down to Earth. I think he's a fine player, and I hate that the Thunder lost him, but I think the Thunder are still every bit the title contender with Kevin Martin. While Harden had some playmaking ability that Martin does not, the Thunder already have great playmakers in Westbrook, Durant, and to a lesser degree Eric Maynor. And Harden was such a streaky shooter. I think by the end of the season the Thunder will be fully meshed and very dangerous.

I'm more worried about the Lakers adding Phil Jackson than than the Thunder losing Harden.
