RESPECT the BEARD "Opening Night" @ Pistons ...@JHarden13 wastes no time getting acclimated in his ROCKETS DUDS...37 and 12 in 44 Minutes as he and his CADDY LINsanity take down the MOTOR City 105-96...SIX ROCKETS in Double Figures

He took 25 Field Goals and dropped 14 of them. He was 4 for 10 with the Money Ball Rack. The Charity Stripe was kind as he went 5 for 6. He also had 12 Helpers as he waited on his Rocket Teammates and they tipped him out 13%. He also had a Taste of Glass with 6 Boards. The Damage was done in the Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan as Big Game James 2.0 Day View was a Rocket Success.

James Harden (pictured Right) has been on a Whirlwind Tour of the Logo at least the Business Side of it and obviously it has no ill effect on him on the Hardwood as he and the Rockets overcame a 10 point deficit in the 4th Frame to take home a 105-96 Opening Night Win.

Harden had plenty of help as he led 6 Rockets into Double-Figures including his Caddy LINsanity who chipped in with 12 Points and 8 Helpers. Last-Minute 2012 FA Pick Up Carlos Delfino from "Fear the Deer" and the Team Argentina Sniper went 5 for 6 with the Money Ball Rack not included was the Money Ball for 15 points. $25 Million Big Omer Asik looked impressive as well with 12 Points, 9 Boards, and 2 No-No's.

The Pistons were paced by PG Brandon Knight and Greg Monroe's 15 and 14 respectively. Also Former Duke All-American Kyle Singler chipped in with 10 points in just 15 minutes. A surprise not to see Rockets Rookie Terrance Jones not get any Minutes as he played better than any Rocket in the Pre Season. I would hope Coach McHale can find him Minutes.

Big Game James 2.0 also inked a reported 5 Year $80 MIllion Deal earlier in the day with the Rockets as they Respect the Beard and why didn't the Pitons. They knew what was coming and for 48 Minutes did absolutely nothing to stop it. Call Now...713-627-Dunk Rockets Nation TIX
