If I finally get it, Rich, we have a no qualifications needed,

good performance with them beading Hardin on the floor to talk about.

It's been a while.

Might be the first one of the season.

How you doing, buddy?

I'm doing great, man. Yeah, it's a while. Might be the first one of the season. How you doing, buddy? I'm doing great, man. Yeah, it's a different type of day for us. It is. You know, we've had certainly some good wins to talk about. There have been, you know, the Sun's win, the win over the bucks, Utah win when Joe Embedd went an absolutely absurd. A lot of really good performances. But in terms of games that Harden and Embed both played in, this is probably the first one where you just walked away and going, yeah, that looked good.

That's still what he is putting, he is pushing the limits of what is sustainable, but 59 is on the outer edge of those limits, even for him, yes.

I mean, you do just have to think about it. He's up to what, 33 points a game.

And you're just like, oh, yeah. So when he scores 45, it's really not that big of a deal.

Like he has to get up there. You know, if he has one of these games where he

scores, you know, 20 points and either they get killed or they kill somebody, it's like,

all right, well, he's got to balance that out somehow. And yeah, the 45 point game is not
