    Capris is such a poor finisher around the basket when it’s not a wide open dunk.

    Just freaking stop. I've been ignoring these kind of posts all night, but this might be one of the worst. They doubled him off the screen, so he made the right read. House began what created a wide open 3 for Tucker. You want to complain about his shooting, fine. Don't complain about something so idiotic.

    Everyone just needs to finally recognize and accept the fact that this "wilting under pressure" trait has long been Harden's "MO" since he went to the Finals with OKC...

    And other guys have said it already, many times. The bottom line is that when opposing players or teams get "physical" and "rough" with Harden... he loses his confidence, his composure, and his swagger. In fact, he almost loses his whole grasp of the game.

    The San Antonio game debacle was the absolute epitome of this. When the Bucks and Eric Bledsoe bullied him in that last game, he fell apart then too. It's just too obvious to deny anymore. Harden has some mental weakness issues.

    So okay, does that mean he's not a great player? Obviously not.

    But what it does mean... is that the rest of the Rockets team and organization needs to recognize it... and have a counter and backup plan for it, when it happens. If that means CP3 needs to step up and take over the majority of the ball handling duties, so be it. If other guys need to get tougher when they see him starting to wilt... then that's what they need to start doing.

    But it's time to stop making excuses and/or ignoring Harden's lack of mental toughness. It's time for the team to acknowledge it, and start doing things to negate it.

    Hey, I'm hoping that Harden will finally overcome this problem... I think we all have been hoping for that. But until he does, the team better find ways to overcome it, if they want to go further.

    Imagine Harden can't make any shot in this game...

    Media will label Harden as the biggest choker in playoffs.
