    Sitting 7th with a few problems still, but we have won 6 of the past 8 and even though we have still to find a 4 quarter consistent performance, If we keep winning ugly, then the rest will fall in to place soon.

    The Wizards shot 20 percent from 3...and we didn't have Ariza for this game.

    i'd say his 50 point 14-28 shooting effort was better

    because Terry isn't scared to shoot!

    The best plays made in this game was Terry simply taking a screen and running to the basket to score.. SO SIMPLE!!! Beverley had a good game but fails to do this consistently. Ty NEVER does it.

    Just let Wall shoot threes and you will be fine most of the time

    They back Terry because most times he won't be guarded and he can give you a sneaky 6-8 points down the stretch with open jumpers

    As frustrating as Harden can be sometimes...he still is one of the few players in the league that can put a team on his back and carry them. Something Dwight,DMO and others can't do. Would NOT want to trade James FWIW.

    He always has Zero post move... Is that new?

    Yes he may blow a layup here and there but what he is getting like 5 touches a night. He getting so little passes that when he gets one, he is not even looking, because he is expecting his teammate to ignore him.

    Is funny that when Thornton attack the basket he is probably the best at feeding Dwight for an easy dunk, the rest of the team sucks at alley ups and bounce passes.

    Beal had so many wide open 3s and bricked them. He went 1-7 from outside. Also lol @ Gorat taking that last rebound to deny Wall the triple double.

    Whenever someone fills the stat sheet like Harden did tonight I always like to go check basketball reference to see just how common something like that is.

    Turns out since 85-86(as far as the search goes back) there have been only 7 instances of at least 42/9/7/2/2 in a regular season game.

    Hakeem
    McGrady(as a Rocket)
    MJ 2 times
    Lebron 2 times
    Wade

    And now Harden makes 8

    he has a couple of post moves but people expect him to have "Hakeem" type post moves. I also think other teams pack the paint against him as well

    DMO just needs to get his rust off...we were rolling with both Harden and DMO last year around this time while Howard was on the bench.
