If Harden was still in Super Saiyan mode, we'd be unbeatable. Regardless, he's still a beast and I like our chances against anyone. This is a fun time to be a Rockets fan.
I don't remember who it was, but whoever made that tip jar bet saying we wouldn't turn around our defense is in some trouble.
Can Harden surpass Lebron and Tiny in total games of 30 and 10 THIS season? Already 2nd to Wilt in most consecutive 30 point games, why not add another notch on his belt for this historic season.
Dean Oliver is considered a leader in creating advanced stats. Interesting that he would run those stats. @durvasa This is a good statistical measure of the subjectivity of Statement Games. I’d be interested in stopping the +/- count at the point each of the players never return to the game ... at least on the TW side ... possibly softening noise of luck of garbage time. I’m going to guess that would help Giannis. Also, I’d love to see last year. I’m willing to bet Ariza would be Top 10. It was amazing how many times he and Harden achieved TWs.
So when he says "net points" he just means your +/- for the game? Or is "net points" something else? EDIT: nevermind, just saw he said in one of his tweets that "net points" is actually a player stat, so this does not use +/-
Chris Paul is having easily his worst season in a decade plus, which is essentially not debatable. I just wanted to make a statistical note that "worst CP3 season" is still doing unique, historical things that most great point guards never sniff: NBA Seasons with 9 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals per 36 minutes, and .550 TS% (min 50 games) 1983 Magic Johnson 1984 Magic Johnson 2009 Chris Paul 2016 Russell Westbrook 2017 Chris Paul 2019 Chris Paul

Rocket's streak of at least 10 three pointers has reached 70 after tonight's game vs Portland. Will this streak ever end? http://bkref.com/tiny/2k6WO
