James Harden, first player in NBA history with two 50-point triple-doubles in a season

It's weird, it was on the ticker but they didn't go to sportscenter right after the game, they went to the x games and completely forgot that it was amazing. Later when sportscenter did run, I was at the bar and they kept showing the highlight of Embiid blocking Harden as if that was the biggest thing that happened tonight. Embiid did what has been done at least a thousand times. If you ignore that he made history, he did what's only happened 9 times in the history of the game and only 3 players have done it twice. ESPN is unbelievable. They'll talk about deflate gate for 12 hours a day, but not actual sports activity that was amazing? Such bs. So yahoo has us covered, right? Nope. Article is about Harden complementing the skills of Embiid after he single handedly beat this highly skilled big man.

El Chapo goes unnoticed again. They'll never catch him. Too slick. Too Houstony.

 

"It looked like it was sold out, so the atmosphere was good," Harden said. "It got me going a little bit. I'm sure it got my teammates going.

"It's always fun to play in games like that."

Maybe if we sell out home games we'll get to see this at home?

 

Good luck with that homie

Haha, there's no way there have been an average of 17K in attendance every game. Stadium holds 18K. The seats are always sparsely filled!!! Looks like the ESPN beloved Warriors don't sell out every game! 19.2K in a 19.6K stadium. Oh wait.. 400 people is nothing.

 

Toyota center or the better known name the "library" hasn't been rocking since the game 7 of the Clippers series cause basketball aint big in H-town

 

By the time he is done playing basketball, he'll definitely surpass that number...the beard is truly special and we are lucky to have him, future hall of famer...oh wait didn't he yell at Decker couple of nights ago, he is a bad teammate and a bad leader yelling at the youngster, I'll refrain from making that statement again.

 

The only even mildly shady thing I remember him doing was a kinda messy drive to the basket. Other than that, everything else he did, down to the last second, was within the flow of the game... As well it had to be since the game was still at least somewhat in question until the last 20 or so seconds.

 

media conspiracy

 

Hell yea Harden. I don't think i can even do that once on nba2k.

 

Yeah I guess so after going back and looking at the game again.....he for sure wasn't giving up the ball in those last 2 possessions in case he got fouled....I for one was happy he stupidly got fouled with a few seconds left and the game out of reach to be able to get to 50.

 

Special thanks to Vivek, Sam Hinkie, and Nick Rox

 

I'm sure he knew he was going to get criticism like he did for chasing that triple double a few games ago.

Harden's smart, when he makes a mistake, rarely do we not see him improve on it by the next game.

The turnovers are going to be there regardless because of his usage, he just needs to keep them below 6 or 7.

 

It's extra cool Harden goes HISTORICAL against The 100-point Player's franchise.

Spoiler

 

Why would he give up the ball, anyways? He's the best volume FT shooter on this team. Whether or not he's going for 50+, that's a good decision for this team. And making a move towards getting us an MVP is valuable, too.

 

If only making history equates to consistency in winning. If I was James Harden I would give up the records and trade them in for wins.

 

How about both? Rockets still 3rd in NBA, ahead of Cavs, last years champs. Rockets are only team in top 5 with only one all star on team.

 

Harden did not have that many 15 or 17 pt games... but they will come and we should be in trouble when that happens.

 

ESPN was way more impressed that Westbrook had a triple double in losing to the Cavs.

 

He is also the best volume turnover guy as well. All i am saying is keep the ball moving sometimes to waste more time off the clock and keep from getting fouled.

Also I wish he would quit whining so much when he doesn't get the foul called because most of the time we are at a disadvantage on the other side of the floor and get scored on a great rate...

 

Where can you make that trade? You mean at a pawn shop or something? You never know, maybe James has been working the phones on non game days looking for someone to trade with but hasn't found any takers. It's a buyers market out there.
