    Oh yes, I never doubted Westbrook was leading this. Uncontested rebounds still have their worth if you are like a Bev who sneaks around getting into position to get the ball from long 3's. Harden usually has half his rebounds dropped down to him when the opponents offense takes off to go on defense because we had inside position on the rebounds.

    Less if he stands on 3' behind the 3 pt line without the ball in his hands.

    To put perspective on how awesome this game was, Klay Thompson's 60 point game was on 33 shots and he got 1 assist and 2 rebounds. Klay's game was absolutely awesome, but his teammates were feeding him a lot of those shots and creating the plays. I hate Klay, but I don't want to take anything away from basketball history and he had a historic game. That was historic, but James was all over the place. The media should be going nuts over this like they did for Klay.

    An example of how James had it going on was at the end of the first half with 23 seconds left and the Rocks behind by 3. He toys with the 76er's Stauskas and then easily sinks a trey in the guy's face with 2 seconds left on the clock. Game tied and Philadelphia with no time left to score, absent a miracle. No miracle appeared.

    Harden is a brilliant player. I still can't believe OKC gave him up. A monumental act of stupidity.

    No one in the history of the NBA has hit the 60 point mark in under 30 shots. I wonder if El Chapo could do it. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised.

    They gave up their best player. Just didn't know it at the time.

    James Harden is only 27 years old, so what's next? Does he top this performance?

    There hasn't been a NBA player in the history that has two 50 point+ triple double yet ESPN chose to put a non-history news on the front page. And Harden was mentioned couple lines below with something like "Harden's 50 in a lively Philly home game." If it was Lebron, or Curry, they'd would have dedicate the whole page. They'll be coming to our door when Harden crowns it.
