Rockets vs Thunder, Russ vs The Beard, Melo vs Cp3. This game alone has so many story lines its hard tout it all into one short article. Russel Westbrook and James Harden were teammates in OKC what seems like forever ago and have each become one of the best players in the league, in fact they were 1 and 2 in the MVP voting last year. Besides those two you also have two of the banana boat brothers squaring off with long time friends Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul.
James Harden is following up his stellar 2016-2017 campaign with another great season under Mike D’antoni. James Harden is an absolute menace on the offensive side of the floor and they guy can draw a foul like nobody else. With the addition of CP3 you sorta expected Hardens numbers to drop but thats far from the case. If anything Paul helped free up Harden for clearer lanes to the basket. The Rockets are currently tied with the Warriors for the #1 seed in the West with a 25-5 record.
The Thunder come into this game still trying to figure to how all their shiny new pieces are going to fit together. Their big 3 consists of defending MVP Russel Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and Paul George. They have done most of their scoring through the use of Iso’s, in fact they have one of the highest isolation rates in the entire NBA. If the Thunder are going to keep up with the scoring onslaught that Harden and Chris Paul can orchestrate OKC is going to have to learn how to pass the ball fluidly.
