    Can't stay out late at the club when you have to catch a flight.

    I’ve always noticed this.... he’s never really the same player with extended time off..... I think cause his is so dependent on rhythm and craft.... he always plays better when the games are stacked.....

    What’s also crazy is we should have enough data to understand that something is happening to him physically at around game 4-6 of the second rd also.....

    He just doesn’t seem to be himself during that time....

    To put some actual context, it probably has to do with the other players not coming through on b2b and Harden has to have a bigger load and score more to get a win

    But yes also skrip clubs

    Said this so many times. Harden is a different breed. He is a grinder.

    Rhythm > Rest

    I know that sounds unconventional. But Harden is unconventional.

    I noticed this too a while back. I joked with a friend that the reason he is so bad in the playoff, there is too much rest between games.

    I'll like to see an efficiency stat too. That's important too and even more telling.

    Click the link in the original post. Enjoy your efficiencies and be amazed at the greatness that is James Harden.

    Are there anymore B2b this year? I knew Harden averaged 40 on back to back but I forgot to put the prop bet on him... (It was 36 BTW)
