    The Jazz threw everything they had at him. Against that, the best thing to do is to pick your spots and facilitate for your team. He probably won’t hit 40 if teams play him like that, but Houston will have plenty of chances to win.

    I bet he has 2 40 pointers next round. Not every team can defend him like Utah did.

    His USG is 37% tonight as the average of the series which is also the most of players in playoffs.
    'He didnt want the ball' RIDICULOUS!
    Harden never mind the FG%.He will just keep shooting.When he find the target,the high score will come.

    I don’t care if he doesn’t score 30+ as long as he plays aggressive and smart. Giving assist and playing defense and deflecting passes.
    But Utah is a good defensive team. Rubio is an okay defender and Royce play him well too. Rudy is very long and gives Harden problem.

    If we play against GSw Harden can cook curry or switch with Bogut. Bogut isn’t that quick tho he is kinda dirty. Livingston doesn’t really give Harden problems. Only one that defense well Harden is Iguadala but coz he gets away with a lot of holding. Refs called him against clippers when guarding Lou but Harden won’t get those calls.

    Still I feel Harden will Score more against the next opponent. He played well

    Yup. Next round . Gsw don't have gobert and harden isn't bad when guarded by Klay or dray. He does have problems with Iggy tho

    Rockets will switch Curry on Harden over and over like they did in the regular season and Harden will look much better this series.

    Not sure it's a reflection on Harden, but the biggest WTF possession of the game, in my mind, was the one with about 1:10 to go where Eric Gordon brought the ball up, never passed and went to the rim to miss. When James Harden is on your team...in a high leverage situation like that...the ball needs to be in his hands.

    I thought Harden looked like he didn't feel well.
