    And that Curry game, notice he played 46 minutes ... it was a 30pt blowout win. They must have kept him in, just to get his trip dub

    It's annoying when Harden just had another epic performance, and all the fans are just talking about his free throws. Dillon Brooks's 3 point foul was a bad call, but that's it. And the ref gave the make up call right back rewarding Conley an and-one when there is no contact. Also they missed the clear path foul early in the game.

    I don’t get too bent on this but it is hilarious that Harden is making HISTORY but the ESPN head line is.....

    “Headbands, chalk tosses and yacht vacations: The things you don’t know about Lebron

    At some point you think they would embrace the history he’s making because after all to most casual fans Harden is a lightning rod so play off that

    u just can’t guard this guy

    How many times do u see a guy getting doubled at halfcourt? Maybe Steph during the 15-16 season, but who else?

    Harden is a master on the offensive end. Only he could prop up a roster like this to being a top offense in the NBA.

    Saw that earlier. And the accompanying article with it was about Nike...how Nike and Lebron were promoting his shoes better ... lulz. Yeah, starting with getting ESPN to talk about it.

    Harden isn’t even under the “Top Headlines” and the game ended what an hour ago? Ridiculous.

    NBA.com has his slam front page, big pic, bold type, showing respect.

    Some people are just too blinded by their hate to realize that they're witnessing something special.

    Clearly The national Media is spitting in the face of what James harden is accomplishing and James Harden. No one can hold anyone one on one especially James Harden. Memphis Doubled and that forced the ball out of James hand. The rox will have an answer for the double team the next game. The key is they made the defense change their strategy. The Rox are going to start smoking teams now, no matter what ESPN thinks

    The Rockets were in the bonus less 3 mins. into the 2nd. The same 3 mins harden takes his rest. So Grizz picked up 4 quick fouls then Harden made them pay like any great player would.
