    they will still be a 50 win team..that is damn impressive. Obviously they will be much higher than .500. Before this season started, some weren't sure if even 45 wins was attainable. Easily the most fun regular season we have had in a while.

    And if we win out the rest of the way we tie the Warriors for best ever record in a season :)

    Moral of the story: set your goals extremely low so you'll always be happy with the results.

    The top 3 teams are Warriors, Spurs and Rockets. There is a gap between #3 Rockets and #4 Jizzer, like 4.5 game lead. If we were in the East, we'd be #2 behind the Cavs. We would have at least a 4 game lead from the Raptors. This is serious stuff, we are raking teams.

    Sitting at .500 the rest of the way would be calming.

    But alas it will not happen.

    They are too good.

    Any team with Harden prime is a mid-50 team. It's the playoffs that's always been iffy because almost all superstars need a second banana to take off the load from cold nights and fatigue.

    Last year with a prime Harden, and numbers that have only been put up by Jordan, Lebron, Oscar Robertson, they only won 41 games.
