30 is the number. Suns lose by 30. Harden will have 30 at half

True. Can we hang on for even a quarter?

If we cannot beat the lowly Hawks, I don't see why this one will be even close.

Harden going for 80.

Well, we lost to the Bulls and the Knicks and the Hawks, but we have beat the Bucks and Nuggets and Celtics. You might get lucky.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 1:23 amIf we cannot beat the lowly Hawks, I don't see why this one will be even close.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Rockets win, 155-127.
Booker goes for 51, but Houston doesn't care because they lead by at least 20 for most of the game and Harden hits for 72.

I don't think Harden will have to play long enough to score 70 points. He'll probably be resting by the time he gets to 40.
Re: Game Day: Rockets (30-22) @ Suns (11-43), Mon 2/4/19
Harden is definitely scoring 90+ tonight. Watch out, Wilt!
Re: Game Day: Hawks (16-35) @ Suns (11-42), Sat 2/2/19
Harden really isn’t the kind of guy we should struggle against. He’s an isolation scorer and we have a lot of wing defenders to throw at him. Even if he gets a switch, our bigs do a pretty decent job on switches. We get killed by off ball movement guys like Jamal Murray and pick n roll ball handlers and roll men. I’m not saying we’ll shut harden down, but I don’t think he’ll go for more than his average...and I wouldn’t be surprised if we held him under 30
Re: Game Day: Rockets (30-22) @ Suns (11-43), Mon 2/4/19
He is a pretty efficient player, even though he is scoring like a mad-man. There are only 12 guys in the league averaging 25 pts/game. Of those, Harden is right in the middle of eFG with 54.2%.
If you use TS%, the only 2 guys better than him are Curry and Giannis.
If you take guys only scoring over 30, he is #1.

With the way this team fouls, I'd be surprised if we hold him under 30fta.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 9:47 amHarden really isn’t the kind of guy we should struggle against.

And we are the team that's going to hold him under 30? Um yeah, I don't think so.Indy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 10:11 amHe is a pretty efficient player, even though he is scoring like a mad-man.

The only way we're holding him under 30 is if there's no reason to play him after halftime....catch my drift?

Well, about 25% of the time he doesn't score 30. And that includes some games against bad teams (Chicago, Minny, Pelicans).Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 10:58 amI have a feeling that this post will get quoted after the game is over.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 9:47 amHarden really isn’t the kind of guy we should struggle against.

But 40% of the time he scores +40. And that often came against teams like us (BRK, CLE, NYK, MEM).
If I were betting, I would assume he is going for over 40.
