    When 99% of your cap is devoted to your starters and you are a win now team, devoting time and resources to a bench is difficult to do.

    More burden means that Harden will have to score 60 I guess.

    Honestly, if like for Harden to go for some cool scoring record. I would love it if he surpassed Kobe's 81 pt game.

    Just got done playing this on 2k in my season. Harden beat Conley on a jump ball with and scored and and 1 to put Houston up 2. Kyle Anderson hits a 3 with 4 seconds left to put Memphis up 2. Harden hits 28 footer at the buzzer so I won.

    Harden
    42 points/11 Rebounds/17 assists/5 steals/2 blocks/7 turnovers.

    Could happen.

    I do think the next time he is really feeling it he should go for 38 shots with 20 or so being three pointers.

    It's really amazing with harden ....

    I've started to place expectations on him and can't wait to see what he will do each night .

    If he doesn't drop an efficient 40 I'll feel like he underachieved lol .

    Here's to hoping James keeps the show going and does something insane tonight .... even just keeping up his current run is insane

    Yeah, that chart is bullshit. Our bench has been a net positive for at least half of the month.

    The chart is not how good your bench is. It's what percentage of total minutes are played by the bench. We are dead last, meaning our starters play most the minutes.

    Ed kupfer is probably not wrong. He used to do analytics for the rockets.
