I’m still pinching myself. Doesn’t seem real.

I thought it was 2K when we got ky and kd. Now it's trade cheesing by conducting 30 3 for 1 trades in a day 2K. Just add in gambling and you've got the full 2K experience.

This is unreal.

Of course it would be even better if we start hitting shots

does anyone get called for more touch fouls than Joe? I feel like he doesn't get much respect from the refs as a defender.

Harden's passing is a game changer on its own

Man, imagine if this trade never happened? LeVert might have wound up stage II or up before they ever discovered the mass, assuming it’s malignant.

Wish him all the best, but even if it’s cancerous, stage I kidney cancer is one of the absolute most beatable cancers period.

Harden led the league in assists per game at 11.2 back in 2016-17 and he hasn’t averaged less than 7 since the 2014-15 season.

Like LBJ, Harden essentially combines excellence at two positions/skill sets into one player. Harden is both a fantastic PG as well as an elite SG making him a true generational talent and perennial MVP candidate.

This is what occurred to me. If he didn't get traded that mass would have gone undetected...hopefully it's benign, but either way in an unexpected way this could have saved his life.

Cancer is scary as hell man.

So, we went from D’Lo as a 6’5 PG to Spencer at 6’6 to Caris at 6’7 and now, James Harden and Kyrie as point guards.

Let that sink in.

Decent first quarter, Harden is definitely trying to facilitate first and foremost right now.

The right mindset.

Harden is going to be a good help on the glass as well

My jaw dropped when I heard Grady say there was a mass on his kidney. He was my favorite Net while here and seems like a genuinely good person. Prayers, thoughts, well wishes, and everything else to Levert. I hope it’s benign, and if not, I hope he beats it quickly.

Rockets fan here. I don’t know if y’all are prepared with how much Harden is gonna blow your frickin’ minds when you watch him every game. He’s now got another true super star next to him in Durant, and an actual dead-eye shooter in Harris. This team is going to absolutely feast. I hope they win the ring. I’d love to see Harden win it after years of people not appreciating how good he is because he’s done everything except win the big one.

As for this game, he seems to be taking it kind of easy and looking to pass instead of getting his shot. Don’t worry, he does that sometimes just to get his teammates involved. Then he’ll take over. He’s also a little bit out of shape, so he’s not gonna be at his absolute best right now, but he’s a monster who makes everyone around him better even when he’s not at his best.

I’m as excited to see him with this team as y’all are. Cheers.
