The Rockets are the real deal. No one has reason to doubt them anymore.
Last week, James Harden played one of the best basketball games anyone has ever played. Since James Naismith invented the game, no player has scored over 50 points while also recording over 15 assists and rebounds. He tied Wilt Chamberlain for the most points in a triple double and earned Western Conference Player of the Week honors.
Harden is accounting for a league-high 57.6 points per game off of scoring and assists, per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.
The Beard led Houston to a 4-0 week with wins over the Knicks, Wizards, Clippers, and Mavericks.
