    Harden's streak of consecutive 35 and 5 games comes to an end tonight.

    He holds record last held by Oscar Robertson, 10 straight.

    5 straight 40 pt games ended against POR.

    Nuggets are not very good. How do they the best record in the west?

    We have a decison to make. I think Gordon is expandable and has value that other team willing to trade for. He is also an expiring. Be surprised if he is not moved by the trade deadline.

    I think the bench as a whole (everyone not Harden) was fine. They are only there to give Harden rest. MDA panicked when there was a bad stretch of basketball and brought Harden in too early. Runs Happen.. It didn't backfire on MDA playing Harden the whole 4th because he was so good at passing out of the double team.

    Great team win. Harden played like the best player on Earth that he is.

    Harden was gassed towards the end. Gordon and to a lesser extent CP3 need to help out soon....

    Harden’s conditioning is prob amongst the best on Earth as well. Just look at his usage and load he carries every game at an ELITE level against elite competition. Not another current player can do what he’s doing. Lebron is the only one close but Lebron wouldn’t carry this current Rockets squad with all the injuries what not to a better record than they have now. Just unreal Harden is.....

    prepare to be surprised bc this team still needs cp3/gordon. the only decisions they need to make is how to keep them healthy for the rest of the year

    Those missed free throws. I thought he was going to get 20 assists. Some of those made baskets by CC should be atttibuted to his assisting.

    it isn't. Rockets are a bad match up for Denver. Clint is too fast for their best player, Jokic. Denver doesn't have any other superstar talent that scares the Rockets defenders.

    Great win. Rebounding and defense are still definite concerns, but I'm assuming it gets better when Chris Paul and Gordon come back and we don't have to play Brandon Knight. Right now, I'm hoping they can get a good backup center (Dewayne Dedmon would be perfect) in the buyout market and another solid wing option (DeMarre Carroll?) in the trade market or vice versa.

    If u look at bench that way then yeah I agree. But even rivers had 40 minutes. We just don’t have enough bodies right now. Harden probably could have gotten 2 extra minutes though but u never know lot of runs change momentum. Don’t wanna give a team like Denver hope

    Because a lot of their players are playing above their ability. I fully expect them to drop off a lot at some point in the season.
