There's no way Harden averages 40 pts a game this season. And both of the games were close. Lin is developing and I think that's what bima thug is saying, nothing more. You take those two facts into consideration and the fact that our entire front court was 6 - 27 last night and hardly averaging 20 points a game and this team sans Harden is not very good. He won those two games single handily. The question isn't if this team will make the playoffs, it's where we will be picking. Hopefully lower than higher. For this team to really get better, and not just improve to become a playoff team, but to really become a power, we're going to need a major upgrade over parsons and by that I mean another star-type player. A guy who can get you 20-10 consistently a night and take the pressure of Harden.
I know if he keeps playing like that Mcfail is gonna put him on the bench with the rest of the true talent.
