    I was thinking the same thing...how 40+ is just kinda expected now. It’s gotten a little silly. He’s on a level few have ever been on right now.

    Another nonchalant run of the mill 40 plus triple dub by Harden. This guy is on a historic tear .

    I see that too, a dead give away is his screening. They are some of the most weakest fundamentally bad screens ive ever seen. Like everytime im like if u not gonna even try bro. But the talent is there. Shoots the 3 has jumping ability n touch. The hardest thing for a person to do is give up on a guy when u see the god giving abilities but u also see he just doesnt have any iq. If u could put gray clarks brain in chriss body. Why he would be a top 20 big in this league

    I missed the entire game because of a dinner I didn't know I had to go to. But I see a 43 point game from our local supernova. Was the game as easy as it looks from the box score?

    Harden becomes 2nd player (Bryant) since merger to average 40 points over 15-game span.

    FIFTEEN consecutive 30-point games

    Good ****. Everyone was eating. Marquisse Chriss has to be the least deserving to be a professional basketball player, right? The guy has a terrible attitude and simply doesn't care. I can't wait until they trade his ass.

    Same for me, I missed the game because of a dinner engagement. What! The Rockets rolled the Cavs big time. Has Harden shifted into another gear. The subs did pretty well too. Honestly, I thought Harden's party lifestyle would have caught up with him by now. He is the new Bobby Layne.

    Harden did all damage in 3 quarters.

    Cavs outscored Rockets by 10 final 3 minutes... lose by 28.

    I’ve not been the biggest Harden fan in the past, but he’s playing as well right now as anyone I’ve ever seen. He’s absolutely unreal. Respect!

    Haven't read most of the thread but how did Knight look? It's nice seeing him get to the line 8 times.

    Disclaimer: i was multi-tasking while watching this game so my opinion is based off watching the game on and off. I'm sure others can give a better breakdown.

    He looked ok IMO. Still rusty and needs more playing time to get away from the mental battles of a torn ACL. Still not in a place where i'd trust him to be in the rotation in a 7 game series in the playoffs. Liked his aggressiveness tho.

    11 man rotation...
    nobody over 30 mins...
    20 mins for Clark...
    and a comfortable win...

    all is right with the world! :)

    In a way, this was also a Statement Game™

    The Rockets have proved to us that they can hang with (and beat the crap out of) the big boys, but a truly elite team distinguishes itself by being able to easily dispatch the cupcakes of the league. Up until this game, the Rockets haven't really had a gigantic blowout yet, so it felt great to see our team put their foot down.

    James Harden is a goddamned monster. Insane.

    Hopefully the Magic game will be a similar situation.

    Harden makes it look easy because he works so hard in practice.

    Missed this one. Obviously, very pleased with the outcome and Harden’s heroics.

    How did Knight look?
