So far 5-2.
Wins - @LAL, BOS, @UTA, NYK, @GSW
Loses - @PHX, UTA
Pts for: 117
Pts against: 112 - Phx scored 127 and other then that, nobody over 114.
Phoenix's 36 point win against Houston without Westbrook throws the numbers out of whack where Houston doesn't look as impressive as they've been.
The wins, all by 10 or more points.
The losses were a thumping @PHX (36 point loss) without Westbrook and a 1 point loss to UTA.
Harden is still scoring, 31.4 pts, 7.9 ast, 5.9 reb... 48% FG%.
Westbrook 34.2 pts, 5.6 ast, 7.0 reb... 56% FG%.
in my eyes Houston has becomed better regular season team obviously, but they will pay for it in playoffs... this team is predicated on individual great night in the playoffs, you need a team performance ...D'antoni and the whole FO, Hardin, Westbrook, etc. have been too stubborn to realities, they have only produced one hit wonders and they always will playing this way
