Harden had a stretch where he made four threes in a row. So, it’s safe to say James Harden feels like his old self in Los Angeles. The Clippers are 9-1 in their last ten games and have won eight in a row. This is in large part due to James Harden really looking good. Harden has 151 points in those eight games, which averages 18.8 points per game. He is also averaging 9.7 assists per game, so he is basically averaging a double-double in the Clippers’ last eight wins.
The former ASU guard was being given a lot of hate from the media after his rough start to his Clippers tenure. Simply because of his diva attitude and how much he’s changed teams since he left Houston. However, since the rough start, Harden has started to look like his prime self. He even hit the 25,000-point mark. This is scary for the NBA because the former Sun Devil is a dangerous person to let get hot.
