But I'm just saying Hardened, posting an incredible 30 points.

15 assists, 14 rebounds to go along with Wait for it.

Zero turnovers last night.

No player has done that since turnovers started to be recorded in the 78 season.

So here is Harden and Kyrie on their matchup tomorrow.

It all been through it all experience at all.

There is not anything that we can't power through.

That's the glory of guy right there.

We're excited to play basketball.

Go back to where James had a great career.

We're looking forward to the experience.

Looking forward to having fun is going to be high competitive.

A lot of great players, no animosity on the court, just greatness on display.

Everybody at home enjoy the game.

My plan is to touch as many people as I can in a sense of whether it's food, whether it's water, whether it's we're building their homes, whether it's making them smile, whether it's whatever the case may be.

Just trying to touch thousands of thousands of people in that city because they've they've they've done that for me, and they showed me and my family or that much love today Harden they're referring to.

He really stepped up in the wake of the storms down in Houston, even though he wasn't playing there anymore.

He really, really made sure that people in that area, as he says, felt him felt that he was there for them, provided all kinds of food and resources for people.

And in his return, as Kyrie says, you can expect to show What do you think is going to happen, My Houston friend.

All right.

You know, I always go through the lens of the Houston Rockets, as you mentioned, and I'm someone that probably believes in them, even when a lot of people choose not to.

But I'm gonna keep it real here.

I have every expectation that the Brooklyn Nets are going to win in James Harden's return.

Uh, because we all know that the Rockets, they're in the middle of a rebuild.

I was really excited to see, you know, Christian Would and Victor Oladipo sort of do their things this season.

But health had different plans, and the rocket situation really can't be saved by them.

But On the other hand, as you asked, James Harden is playing impeccable basketball, literally.

No turnovers last night with a 30 point triple double.

And he's always had this skill set, which we saw in Houston.

But he leaned more into the scoring, then the playmaking.

But now the roles have reversed and he sort of flipped that.

And now he's just flaunting for everyone to see, you know, rocking a Brooklyn Nets jersey.

So even though Houston is looking at him probably like an X that is living their best life after a breakup, which is really tough for Houston, there's still a lot of love there.

There's a lot of mutual love there, and I mean, might as well piled it on.

And I think what he has done, as you mentioned Rachel for the community has really just showed a testament to who he is.

But let me just keep it real.

Whether it was J.

J.

Watt spending 10 years, they're now James Harden.

Nine years, Houston is going through it.

It's been a rough off season for us.

Hey, look, the Rockets have lost 12 in a row.

They're just sort of a random collection of players, which is what happens when you have one team that gets dismantled.

Then you have a bunch of trades that aren't related to each other, so they're kind of in a tough spot.

The Nets are killing everyone.

James Harden had a million points million assistant, as many turnovers as I did watching the game in my office.

So what was?

It was a clubber lang that said, Prediction.

Pain.

I predict pain for the Rockets and a Nets win, which is not exactly a bold take considering the directions these teams are going right now.

Well, I'm glad there at least some fans that are going to be able to be there to sort of experience the James Harden show yet one more time, Even if it's not in Iraq, it's Jersey, and I think there'll be some nice moments there, which is nice.

After what happened at the beginning of this season, we will be looking forward to it.
