Harden becomes the "SECOND" player after Michael Jordan in 1987, he scored 30+ on all teams and averaged I think 37 points a game that season with both a lot less three pointers than harden, a lot less free throws as and a lot less and ones as well. Considering how many three point ISO harden had and how many free throws he had, what Michael Jordan achieved and what Harden did is not remotely similar.

So, forgetting about Jordans' 87 season and saying harden is the first person to do that is just pure fanboyness, hell you think wilt averaging 50+ points a game did not manage to grab 30+ against everyone? Really? OF COURSE it wasn't the first time this was done, it was just first time since 1987 and that is still a big big accomplishment but lets not destroy all time greats seasons just to make Harden look good, dude is just the only scorer on a team that keeps on passing to him to ISO, it would be weird if he didn't scored 30+ every game.

Chill GSW people, they have a match later against Timberwolves.

They can retrieve that lost they made with Spurs.
Actually it doesn't matter to me now. They already secured a playoff spot so i'm just waiting for it. What matters to me now is will KD left the GSW after this season. We all know GSW is still dominant even without him but they have a higher chance in getting Grandslam if ever KD will stay. Hope he is.
With the rankings yes but that last lost they had seemed to be meaningful to most fans.

Anyway, they've won against TWolves.

James Harden now becomes the first player in the league to score 30+ points game against 29 different teams in a "single season".

That was tough to do. It's difficult to maintain an over 30+ production on every game. Hot hands is really needed and..... never mind.

Well then, I also want to give credit to his interesting numbers of free throw attempts that contribute to that 30+ points a game. lol.

Most of his points are coming from the FT.
It seems like he already mastered the move to caught his opponent to commit foul, he should be credited for that.

However, I don't see him as GOAT yet, he needs to prove that he can win championship and this season he has another chance to do it.

Harden is a sensational player in this era. From his step back three pointers to his masterful foul baiting. Somehow, winning championship is beyond his control. It's a total team effort to win it and hopefully harden can find ways to put together his team and win the championship this season.

Looks like OKC is on a slide lately, Toronto beat them in OT 123-114. Westbrook came back strong with 42 points, and tie the score in regulation with a lay-up. Actually they have a chance to win the game, but his 3 was short. And then Toronto took over the OT game and never gave any breathing room for OKC. Siakam lead the way for the Raptors with 33 point together with 13 rebounds.

There's also another exciting game, Miami Heat snaps San Antonio 9 game winning streak with a big 110-105 win. For most part of the game, San Antonio trails, but pulled as close to three points in the last two minutes.

But then vintage Wade shows up again, stole the ball from DeRozan with 9.1 seconds left. Miami solidifies its final spot in the play-off with this win.

Wade will have his last playoff appearance this off season and I'm very optimistic with that.
If they can make it to the last spot of the playoff ranking, it will be hard for them to beat the no. 1, as Giannis will surely not gonna give them a chance.

I agree, we would love to see him for the last time and what a better way to end it when he goes against the new faces in the East - Giannis A.

And I'm sure that Miami's chances are slim against Milwaukee, but it will be a good farewell game for Wade and I won't be surprised if they get at least a win. Grin

Yeah me too i'd love to see dwade make the playoffs and probably even advance to the second round lol. That's just the dwade fan in me speaking. The guy's done a lot for the game and the franchise and it would be very fitting to lead a playoff stint one last time. Unlike some of his draftmates lol 😝😝😝

It would be really a cinderella ending to DWade's legacy if ever they can upset the Bucks. Just last one dance before calling it a day. However, Bucks is really looking solid behind Giannis so I don't think that there are upsets in round 1 of the playoffs for Milwaukee.

Do you love to see a big upset?

Me, I'd love too, and not only enjoying it with nothing in case this happens, might put a bet the Heat for the first round if they will meet.

I strongly feel that many players do not care about winning,  They play just to collect their millions and give a half hearted attempt at trying.  I don't really blame them, people are struggling to survive and here you are pulling in millions for throwing a ball at a metal rim.

Not everyone in the league got a max contract, you need to prove yourself first to the management that your talent worth millions of dollars. But, believe me man, once youre in the league you really care about winning, who doesnt? Thats their passion turned into profit, that means winning first before money.
When you start winning, not only the league would offer you millions of dollars, but also from commercials like signing an offers from a shoe brand. Thereafter you need to always give your best not to lose those offer.
Making money is always been a main thing.

Contracts made will really vary on how long would be the duration and its true that it will depend on the management on how long they would decide to keep you in but if you are a
superstar then no doubt with that max contract.
A player already gained a lot after being drafted, it's up to them to prove themselves or be contented with million bucks that they've received and enjoyed the luxuries, regarding to superstars, they work harder proving their worth so surely management will offer what they've deserved, maximum contract will be depends on how the fans buy the players, they needed to win the crowd and be left with lots of money inside their pockets..

It all depends on what Warriors are planning on with Klay and Draymond. If they decide to go with Klay and Draymond than they need to send Durant away, if they want to keep Durant than they will definitely send Draymond away and pay Klay not the max. They are already in super debt and they are definitely paying a ton of taxes already and they JUST opened a new stadium and they are going to want to make a ton of money from it, I think Durant and possibility of Klay is more important than Draymond but that is also bad loyalty as well.

I don't know what will happen in Free Agency but the most definite thing is Cousins getting out of there, he will be playing somewhere else for probably max contract for sure. Durant would totally accept a max offer from Warriors if they offer it, I just think they may not offer the max which is why Durant may leave.

If they do not care about winning then millions should not be worth it to give it to them and the happiness they give all around the globe does not fit them. It should be for those people that care about winning.

In your statement, you're just pertaining to those team that tanks. But if all players are like that, they don't really deserve their pay, because people are watching them and what they'll do? Fail those who supports them?

Didn't you know that a certain player needs to reached something to be able to unlock a biggest offer? Yes there is no way they will can easily qualified for a max contract or big salaries.

Therefore they will go for a win or depends on the situation e.g preparing for playoffs, a game where no need to force something , already clinched a spot etc.

Mind sharing your basis for much clearer view for us?

Also if I'm not mistaken, if a team (or player) reaches like playoffs, 1st round and then went as high to the finals, there are more incentives right? So they need to really play hard and win every game. So they really need to care all about winning more than individual awards, to collect more millions in their contract.

Chill GSW people, they have a match later against Timberwolves.

They can retrieve that lost they made with Spurs.

GSW was able to bounce with a win against Timberwolves. Curry was hot scoring 36 points, Klay Thompson also added 28 points after a disappointing 14 points against San Antonio. So we can lay to rest the argument that they are having a sort of chemistry problem.

They do better because Timberwolves is not a good team, they should prove it with the spurs.
I believe Timberwolves is already out of the playoff picture, so they don't need to play harder than what the Spurs are doing.

They tried against the Spurs, but they fell short, as Spurs is really hot right now. Timberwolves maybe out of the playoffs but I think they still gave GSW all they have but Curry took over the game, and Curry is not willing to gave up their top spot in the West to the resurging Nuggets team.

As for the case of Kevin Durant, it is still up in the air, we still don't know what will happen, if he stays or leave GSW.

Well, we're only a few games before the post season. And the warriors are already assured of a good spot and is expected to win whoever they face in the 1st round. I don't see any reasons why the warriors would lay everything out at this point.
