    Derrick Rose tore his meniscus in garbage time.

    Yeah. Honestly, MDA probably did Harden a favor not leaving him in longer than he did. It would have been a bad look if he was gunning in the fourth quarter with his team up 40 plus points.

    I think 3 quarters is a fair cut off point that balances letting the fans enjoy the Harden show and not making a total mockery of the game.

    I would say no, because if he stayed in people would criticize him more.. calling him a stat chaser and what not. So I’m glad he didn’t played the 4th. Kobe also had a 60 point game as well against the mavs playing 3 quarters.

    Amazing video @Shaq2Yao ... I don't feel personally violated in any way after watching this.

    YES, he should have. When u got a chance to make history, u take it. People can miss me with all the “rest” talk.

    60 has been done too many times. Let him play a bit to start the 4th and at least get up to around 72.
