Re: kevin martin is as good as harden
In the same role as Harden had on OKC? It's pretty close.

Exactly. Dude is given the ball pretty much every single time he comes up the court in Houston, and he's got a license to shoot.
Harden had Westbrook and Durant to share shots with. Who's Harden got in Houston? Carlos Delfino?
Kevin Martin is doing most of what Harden was in OKC so far. He's averaged 17 points off the bench so far on 6/9 from 3 point territory. Lacks a bit of passing ability Harden has, but he plays off the ball, completely different than Harden.
Either way, Harden is balling. Happy to see he's doing well, hurts though.

Starter Harden > Martin

A couple days ago it was "Harden had the benefit of playing with great players and not being the focal point of the defense".

It's like TMac, I mean NOBODY expected him to average 27/7/5 on the Magic after his time with the Raptors. Eerily similar situations.

So what you're saying is it had nothing to do with me, so quoting me and saying that was pointless? Got it

Not only is he a first option in Houston, he's a first option on a team that doesn't really have a legit second scoring option. I know Lin did it for about two weeks last year, but there's not really a sustained proven second scoring option on the Rockets.

Shhhhh....you're ruining overreaction week.
Good points, but I do think Harden is a better player than Martin; at least in the #1 option/starter role.
