    For sure I love that about his game this year too. He's taking what the defense gives him but he just needs to improve his jumper. Maybe won't take so many 3s when his shots so off. Look to drive more or take that midrange stepback he's so deadly at. I just know when we have to play GSW, LAC, SAS, Memphis etc we're going need James to score and do it efficiently.

    Always good to beat the Mavs but I hate seeing Harden out there when the game is already over.


    We are not catching the Warriors record wise so it would have been better if the Grizzlies won despite how much I hate Golden State.

    some of it is because Harden is a gamer the rest of it is because harden is chasing that's like triple dubs

    I much rather Harden score 18-20 points if it means the Rockets blow out the opposing team. If Ariza, Gordon, Anderson, and Dekker are bringing it, he doesn't need to.

    58-win pace

    Would tie the franchise record (58-24, '94)

    If they win 58 games, D'Antoni better be COTY. I don't think anyone predicted that coming into the season. I figured 50 was best case scenario.

    If Rockets win 58 games, COTY, MIP (Capela), MVP (Harden), and 6MOTY (Gordon) are all possible.

    They'd each finish 3rd, at worst.

    Rockets will win more than 60 games this year and set franchise records.

    Dude loves you.

    Harden must be loving that he can take a backseat and trust his teammates to maintain the flow of the game. That's the next step of being a leader.

    Capela's double double was great.
    Harden's 16 assists were sublime.
    The team shooting over 50% from 3 for the game was fantastic.

    But the juiciest stat of the game by far?:

    The Mavs are now tied with the 76ers for worst record in the NBA. Yeah, that's the stuff.

    The Mavs chose the right year to suck. From the sound of things, this is going to be quite the talented draft class.
