    Is 4 assists a season high for CJ?

    Now that the game is over and we won anyway, why exactly wasn't Hardon tossed at halftime?

    I love Harden trying to go for a layup to keep his 40pt streak alive and failing.

    He's playing too well to cheapen this shit but he doesn't learn. Bball Gods did not reward him.

    Eh a little of both. I actually wasn't sure and thought 4 was a bit high for him.

    We held Harden under 40 points, seemed like that hasn’t happened in a while

    Brooke better be getting some of that BioFreeze money.

    It's ridiculous that they're having her say that.

    You knows what gonna be annoying is how ESPN is going to be all over how Harden had 38 points and 7 assists. Without talking about the 7 turn overs or the 35 attempts it took him to get there.

    I want to say that i thought Turner maybe played his best game as a Blazer, elite defense tonight by him and Chief.

    Layman really needs to be a fixture in the rotation.

    Clown.

    And here is our likely answer to why he wasn't thrown out. He was daring those refs to do it knowing they didn't have the balls.

    I kind of ignored the bench comparison too. We looked pretty fragile with the backups.

    We're better than the Rockets, we're also better than the Thunder, we have more weapons, we're deeper. But right now, we're still underacheiving

    Goooooood game!!!

    The breaks went our way! Their errors went our way! Each time Nurkic chased Harden around, 15 feet from the basket, the outcome was good!

    When Turner and Layman are too thin, I want to see Nurkic guard more midsize heavyweights. He stopped him!
