    Pick and frickn roll. Give it to Capella or Ariza.

    Thibs defense on the iso is elite

    Ariza is a champion. He's been through the wars and has the experience of coming out on top. He's been up and down at times but I really wasn't as concerned about him as the other role players. Harden is trying to do too damn much right now and he's hurting the team.

    Harden looks like he's making it personal to hit a jumpshot..
    Hope you're right

    well, it appears we have identified the problem. now how do we solve it?


    i mean harden can't even dribble right now, he's forcing completely out of rhythm shots, he never finishes over contests (even in the regular season he's not very good when a big actually is at the basket to challenge him). his mastery is getting past every one, not finishing over them. the spurs figured that out last year in their strategy of just backing off until the basket. if he doesn't develop a floater, he will probably always be playoff harden. 11-44 is too bad for any excuse.

    choking harden in playoffs really is true. Trade him soon.

    Harden needs to chill the **** out and stop forcing shots with 1 second left on the shot clock. Move the ball around a little bit, and find the mismatch. Right now, they're just playing 1 on 5.

    Paul look as if he was injured. Don't mind Harden missing in the flow of the game. The ISO missed shots is hurting the overall offense.

    Harden losing the mental battle rn. Thibs has came with a new attack on him. Harden just needs to relax and not overthink this.
