    What I like about Harden's game, utmost, is it's not even close to being dependent on his athleticism. He's got the foot work and fade away jumpers and also has a back to the basket post game long before he reach the pinnacle of his prime. Jordan, Kobe and Lebron all develop these aspects well past the pinnacle of their primes.

    I'm glad he included him breaking Westbrook ankles even though he missed the shot. I was screaming out loud when he crossed him.

    We all know what Durant was thinking when Harden crossed him up and hit it in his face. "Presti man!!? WTF?!"

    I wonder if games like this where Harden just dominates their entire team Durant just stews about it after the game.

    Sam Presti might have traded the best player of the 3, Hardens not getting enough praise for his season so far and his efficiency is climbing back to heights he's never reached before as a rocket. Like seriously this guy is playing at a top 5 player of all time goat the last 20 or so games. He's scoring 30 7 and 6 on 50% shooting.

    Only MJ and lebron have been this good, flame me all you want but I said harden was the 3rd best player in the league after last season. Most people thought I was crazy. I predicted 27 7 and 6 and he's their. This guy is a goat and he's going to have a statue outside toyota one day.

    I can't miss a game because I'm watching some of the best basketball I have ever seen in my life and I have watched more Basketball than I should lol. This guy is special enjoy houston.

    Imagine if instead of trading Harden, Presti traded Westbrook for a couple of really solid players/bench, amnestied Perkins and maxed out Harden. Oh, and fired Brooks to bring in a competent coach of course.

    One of OKC's pro-trade reasons were Harden wouldn't reach his potential. Well, he would without Westbrook.

    I was elated when Harden hit that 3 pointer in Durant's face. Marv Albert gave a lot of credit to the beard. I was happy to see that.

    Clearly a fake video.

    We all know Harden does nothing but stumble into defenders, looking for foul calls. Right?

    great vid, thanks, and tremendous game.

    the lighting on the broadcast looked odd to me last night, perhaps because i was watching it via the regular network feed, rather than the NBA app on Apple TV.

    but i felt like it was very "cool", and had an "HD Video" tone to it, almost too realistic (less film like). i found it a bit disconcerting.

    Looks like an And1 tape sometimes, the way he's playing ISO and putting moves together. Love the attitude.

    He stunts hard with that crossover.
