James Harden has scored 40 or more points on 27 of the NBA's 29 other teams. Only Milwaukee and Brooklyn left.
Lol ... I feel sorry for Portland! That whole city probably suffers anxiety attacks when they see JHarden walk into the arena floor!! Go Rockets!!! ....... ....... .......
Portland’s been getting worked I see why Laker fans are so salty too...in just the past 2 years Harden has dropped 36, 40, 51, 20, 36, and 51 on them
Obviously, every time we meet the Nets, we always kill them in two or three quarters, and Harden will come out prematurely as an audience. That's why he couldn't get 40 points against the Nets. As for why Harden did not score more than 40 points when he met the Bucks, I think the reason is that the Bucks have a lot of swing players with good athletic ability and long arms,They all have 6‘7--6‘8 heights.which is the most effective way to limit Harden.
He scored 38 points on them in January. If he knew about this list, he would have easily put 40 on them.
I wonder if Philly is during the real shitty era. But James is a big game player. He will get all 29 before it's said and done. 60 pt triple double, 50pt triple double. Big dick stuff.
In my impression, we always seem to be back-to-back against the Bucks in Game 2.This has always been a test of Harden's fitness.
Agreed, Harden's career average against Bucks is also better than his overall career average. He actually scored 38 with 56% shooting against the Bucks back in 2017, I don't see a major difference between that and 40 points. After all, 40 is just a threshold that is so happened to be divisible by 10 so people likes to use it. One thing we are sure of is that Harden doesn't struggle against the Bucks, the reason why he never scored 40 against them is largely due to relatively smaller sample size as a result of them being in a different conference.
For someone who supposedly doesn't turn up in the playoff games, he has plenty of 40 plus point games. Got to the love the people who don't do their research from the Twitter and YouTube comments.
