Harden's 13 FT attempts last night is just slightly ahead of his season average.

Making 16 of 25 shot attempts = great effencey!
Sinking 8 of 9 from behind the 3pt line = on fire!!

Nice win in Dallas tonight, where Rockets capped off their last of four games in five nights of the season......only loss was by three at Toronto Monday night.

I would love to see that!

Points Per Games By Harden This Season

Thirty: 30+ point games

Nine: 40+ point games

Two: 50+ point games.

Stop killing my thread with all this Harden propaganda.

Games where Harden shot more than 20 free throws: 10
Games where Harden shot less than 10 and couldn't score an honest 20 points: 6

The Beard should fear the refs.. if they stop blowing whistles his way his game wilts to nick young level

Consider this: in the rich history of the NBA, it has only happened five times that a player as averaged at least two steals and three blocks per game for an entire season. Have a look at the players who accomplished the feat (listed chronologically):

Player Season SPG BPG
Hakeem Olajuwon 1985-86 2.0 3.4
Hakeem Olajuwon 1988-89 2.6 3.4
Hakeem Olajuwon 1989-90 2.1 4.6
Hakeem Olajuwon 1990-91 2.2 3.9
David Robinson 1991-92 2.3 4.5

I always found it ironic that statistically so many of the all-time greats put up their best numbers in all the years they WEREN'T winning championships

Last week when torching Sacramento for 51 points, James Harden became just the third active player and 13th overall to join an exclusive club:

2000 points / 500 assists in a season

The three active players:

Dwayne Wade
LeBron James
James Harden

Rest Of The Group (all in the HOF)

Pete Maravich
Jerry West
Oscar Robinson
Allen Iverson
Michael Jordan
Larry Bird

can't recall the other names right now, but you get the idea (one cat was from the 50's that I had never heard of)

Im having fun trolling the harden FanBoys on twitter..

Tonight, Golden State lost their last road game of the season over in New Orleans. With their final four games of the season at home and with the Warriors hosting the first round of the playoffs, Golden States next road game won't come for another 13-14 days. This prolonged period of time with no travel will be very beneficial in the second and third rounds of the post season.

Not that I'm all that surprised, just a nod to what the San Antonio Spurs are currently doing winning their eighth in a row tonight at OKC.

130-91 OKC
94-76 Dallas
103-89 Memphis
95-81 @Miami
103-91 @Orlando
123-93 Denver
107-92 Golden State
113-88 @OKC

Everyone of these wins were by double digits......Rockets play at San Antonio tomorrow (Wednesday)

They beat up on a bunch nobodies and teams having an end of season slump, get back at me when they win something meaningful..

Another double digit victory for the Spurs.

They've now won nine in a row and 19 of 22......seven of the nine against teams that are making the playoffs.

This Spurs team have done all this before and yet still been knocked out of the playoffs more than twice as many times as they've won the championship (12 knock outs including in the 1st round, 5 rings) and they have NEVER won back-to-backs so....

Remember losing to Mavs? Remember that 1st round exit to the Grizzlies? Remember losing the West Finals to Thunder? Remember losing Game 7 to Heat?? Yeah, sure they won the championship last year, and I respect that, sincerely, BUT it doesn't mean I'm sipping their kool aid just yet. Their "dynasty" is still behind the 90s Bulls, 2000s Lakers, and even the 2010s Heat.. shit even behind the 90s Rockets!

"and then Spurs said they were a dynasty"

Only an ignorant slut would start bitching and moaning about dynasty's in April.

The Spurs, along with everyone else are simply playing out their schedule. This is the time of year when you want to be winning, clicking on all cylinders headed for the post season. Hell, if the Spurs win in Houston tomorrow, they might just have a chance to grab ahold of the number two spot in the West.

Big props to Golden State for having the best record this season, but there is no doubt the Spurs are the team playing the best right now! Winning number six or getting knocked out......time will tell!

OH - for the past 16 consecutive seasons, the San Antonio Spurs have won 50 or more games, such an impressive thing to do in the West!!!

And yet it was you talking about their accolades, bragging about their usual march april prowess, and posting the snarky pic of their championship of junes past..

I simply trash talked back about how they have looked good every march and april for what seems like centuries now and yet have had some big losses so.....

Heat gave up what could have been essentially a playoff lock.. out of gas

i'm at the point i just want the heat to lose out for a better draft pick, don't deserve a playoff spot with the kinda play the other night

Damn it now i have to hear all this nonsense about the spurs.. at least it knocked Harden off his high horse

While the Spurs continue to do Spur things (win), I'm reminded that the last time the Rockets won a NBA Championship......they did so as the 6th seed and the MVP and his #1 seeded team were defeated in the Western Conference Finals!
