That doesn't mean they cannot continue to improve and learn from the end of the season. But, when you are this short on experienced talent, losing is the result. This is just not a very good basketball team, which is why they are currently sitting dead last. It may seem a bit counterintuitive to say, "Look, guys, you probably should lose every game on your way out, but keep playing hard." But, the fact is they will likely lose most of these games playing hard or not. So, whatever the scoreboard says and whatever the situation, there is nothing more important than keeping everyone off the trainer's table before the offseason.

To think of one of these young guys suffering a bad injury during a bunch of meaningless (well, sort of) games to end the season is sickening. In fact, this stretch feels about what we imagine it's like to be the last man pulled from the ocean after a shipwreck and half your crew was already eaten by the sharks circling below you. If you get to punk Irving in the process, all the better.Ībove all else, there can be no serious injuries in the last nine games.

The team that finishes last has not only the best shot at the first pick, but is guaranteed to pick no lower than fifth in the first round. And they should have a few goals in mind as they wind down.Ĭurrently, the Rockets are two games up (down?) in the race for the worst record in the league.

Harden finished with 53 points, 17 assists and 16 rebounds.

Harden made the Knicks look like a junior varsity team. This was one of those ‘do you remember where you were when…’ type of games. This game was an incredible one from Harden but it wasn’t his best. Hart has learned his lesson and now knows to never mock the bearded one. Harden was a one man wrecking crew against the Sixers, tallying 51 points, 13 assists and 13 rebounds in a five point win.
