The New-Look Rockets Are So Good, They Play The Game In Imaginary Space

James Harden is two plays and three planes of existence ahead of the game.

1. Last night against the Heat, James Harden drew a clear path foul and headed to the line to shoot two. He celebrated his first point with the spirits of Hakeem Olajuwon and Yao Ming.

2. Late in the game, Jeremy Lin had a chance to hit a go-ahead three. He drained it in the imaginary bucket you can’t see. He missed it in real life though.
