Mike D’Antoni says James Harden’s scoring in his prime was so extraordinary that even while the Rockets were winning, he worried about how they’d win when Harden returned to normal “He had a period where he went through about 20 games that literally, I’m thinking this guy’s mastered the game. He can score and set up somebody whenever he wants.” “He probably gets 55, 54, 60 one time. And he had a stretch of 40s and 50 games that went on forever.” “I’d go home worried as hell because I’m thinking, ‘How we going to win?’ Because that’s not normal what he’s doing. And we’re winning, but that’s not normal. When he goes back to normal, how we going to win? But he stayed with that.”
