How far from fantasy gold?

Just how far does James Harden have to go before he’s considered worthy of a pickup in your fantasy league? There’s no definitive answer but he definitely made a step in the right direction the other night against the warriors. Career high night with 26 points. He also contributed 5 assists and 9 rebounds. The Thunder ended up out rebounding the Warriors 57-37 whcih went a long way in claiming the 104-88 victory.

The other rookie Stephen Curry also had a good night with a career high 22 points. So if Harden keeps this up then there’s a legitmate chance he could be in the running for rookie of the year.

 What about 6th man of the year? The only rookie to ever win that award was Ben Gordon so winning the 6th as a rookie would be a big honor. Then there’s coach of the year which Scott Brooks will definitely be up for. This could definitely be a memorable year for the Thunder if they can keep this pace up.

It was good to see Shaun Livingston play some good minutes in the Warriors game, 18 to be exact. He didn’t score but made some nice plays and handled the offense which was what the Thunder needed. I had posted that he was supposed to be out 3-4 weeks, which was true, but he suprised everyone by coming back in only 2. Very impressive and the Thunder used him. He ended up with 3 assists and 7 rebounds. It was also good to see Kristic back on the floor. He ended up getting some minutes after being listed day to day on the injury list for a while. It’s good to see people stepping up and trying to fill the void while the Thunder get over their injury bug.

Kevin Ollie could still be out for a another few weeks recovering from knee surgery. We wish him a speedy and safe recovery.
