    Harden just got his 56th career 40+ points game, just behind Lebron's 64 among active players. He only played 30 games this season and already got 7 40+ games. If CP3 can't stay healthy, I honestly believe that Harden can surpass Lebron in total career 40+ points games this season.

    Simply amazing.

    More than Durant? That's pretty impressive

    Lol I remember when Stevie Franchise was our star player and his one 40+ pt game was shuch a big deal for us against the Lakers.

    56 different times is absurd.

    He’s also top ten in 50 pt games. Only Lebron has more than him currently in the league and that’s by one game. Safe to assume harden will surpass him in that stat too

    aside from the turnovers and a slight regression on defense due to lack of help resulting in an insane burden offensively, Harden has been even better than he was last year

    this guy is insane

    he’s shooting almost 38% on nothing but unassisted, off the dribble, highly contested threes

    How many guys in this league could shoot even 30% if they took nothing but Harden threes?

    Nothing is ever easy for him. He has to create everything.

    It's amazing to watch, but 70 shots and 80 minutes over the last 2 games is way too much. He's settled for a ton on less than great looks late in the last 2 games. Hopefully CP3 won't be out for too long.
