    Congratulations to The Bearded One James Harden. The Real MVP.

    What a awesomely great game. First player in NBA history to score a 60 points triple double.

    U figured NBA.com, would b all slobbering all over this historic triple double, instead it's a little square titled: Harden scores Franchise-Record 60 in Win over magic.
    Fking Lebron saying: Loyalty is a double Standard in NBA is bigger.

    Harden broke triple double record, and all is quiet.

    James Harden will go down as the greatest offensive player in NBA history.

    His defense in this game shouldn't be overlooked. This was the most complete game I've seen James play. He was awesome on defense at least 6 times. He even had that one call go against him where he forced the turnover on Jonathan Simmons' head.

    Mike:

    Harden's performance?

    Wasn't bad. Amazing. 4 point play at the end was just as incredible. We had to have every minute from him. He picked every spot, every time he did something positive. They played well, we had to gut it out, didn't have many players. Guys were getting a little tired.

    How gassed was he?

    Wasn't too bad. Kept asking & looking. He didn't want to come out. He knows how to pace himself a little bit & pick his spots. We needed all 60 points and he gave them to us.

    How serious was Eric's back?

    Tightness. Before the game he told me. Tried it. Once he came out, couldn't go back in.

    Defensively?

    They got 19 in the 4th, 107. They're a good offensive team. We want to get better. Sometimes we had lapses and gave them open looks. Every time we made a mistake, they made us pay with a 3. Good for them, they played well. We had too much at the end. Guys kept getting better, PJ & Luc, they kept getting better.

    Nba tv has a little bubble that says Jh first 60 point triple double in nba history. But don’t worry it will be gone soon.

    I agree. The game just ended. Id be shocked if the whole nba world isnt talking about it by tomorrow.

    Just flipped over to spurs nuggets and even spurs announcers were talking about it

    Gerald:

    I caught myself being a true fan throughout the whole game. What he did today was unremarkable. We can't rely on him even though he's as great as he is. We still have to go out & play better collectively but gosh, James plays like that, no one is beating us. I don't care who you put out there.
