Your team can do it, they are good enough. Just need Harden wrist to be a bit more healthy & some bench scoring mojo, settle the regular season series to 2-2 a piece especially with KD still out of the game. And of course, a lil bit of help for my Spurs to get that 1st seed overall would be very appreciated.
Westbrook has TWO 50pt triple double too. 2016-10-28 51+13+10 Westbrook 2016-12-31 53+16+17 Harden 2017-01-27 51+13+13 Harden 2017-03-29 57+13+11 Westbrook
Tonight isn't a total loss. The Bucks knocked off the Celtics. That helps with the Rockets' pursuit of the 3rd best record in the league. And we still have Utah playing at Sactown later.
I don't think he could overshadow 57-13-11 unless the Warriors somehow come back, then he scores 20+ pts in the 4th quarter including a buzzer beater. Plus a triple double.
And now the Warriors come back and make it a game again. Everything sucks, and it seems to always happen when the Rockets don't play.
4th quarter should be interesting. Warriors already spent a ton of energy getting back into the game, and on 2nd night of road b2b. We'll see what they have left in the tank. edit: Javale with an old school Shaqtin game. 2 missed dunks, stupid plays, etc.
i think it's harder for teams who start hot but then blow a big lead. they have to get over the mental hurdle of chasing after what they had instead of playing their normal game.
Not sure what 1 seed has to do with it as the news that came out today said they're trying to get him back in the rotation for the last 3 reg season games. I doubt that would change based on their seeding.
It may appear that way right now, but I guarantee in the playoffs when the game slows down and they need a 1-on-1 play, they're gonna be more potent with Durant.
