    The Rockets stopped playing good basketball, and it was getting kind of embarrassing. I wanted to see him get to 60, but it wouldn't have felt right if he missed several shots and got a bunch of turnovers trying to get there.

    Right! Klay Thompson is a really fantastic player, but he's no Harden.

    Harden did it in 3 quarters. I suppose Wilt didn't even do that.

    Harden vs. Klay was 1 of the dumbest debates in NBA history...it’s just as dumb as people on here that were saying that they would trade Harden for Lillard, Wiggins, or D’angelo Russell during the summer

    No, no, NO. Don’t you remember? ESPN said he’s the 8th best player in the NBA.

    Two years running.

    Not that ESPN has their own agenda or anything.

    Great job. Midrange opens up everything.

    lulz

    I thought it was teams guarding our perimeter open up midrange, and that's why we need to shoot it. So now, it's midrange opens up the 3?

    OK, let me see if I got this correct:
    1. Midrange makes Gobert leave the rim
    2. Gobert leaving the rim, opens up Harden's drives
    3. Harden drives forces the defense to help off the perimeter
    4. Help off the perimeter opens up the 3
    Is that it? The midrange is key to everything!!!

    Is it selfish to ask he go ahead and claim the record?

    On a bit of a different note, how amazing is it that we arguably have the best backcourt in the league right now...and we're missing Chris Paul. o_O

    We could legit win a chip this year, boys.

    Another amazing game by James.

    Do you think Cavs fans are talking about this game like we did when LBJ hit for 57 this week?

    Why doesn't the media give James the respect? He's a 2 times MVP, stolen by the media and Westbrook

    Or Paul George
    Or Damian Lillard
    Or Kyle Lowry
    Or Demarcus Cousins

    The list goes on and people continue to be dumb
