    It’s just not sustainable for a guy to create that much offense against an elite defense.

    It's so much deeper than just simply looking at a Box score the guy is clearly killing the offense. Everyone looks so much more engaged and we score so much easier when Chris Paul has the ball right now

    he actually does from time to time, but we don't have a good passing big. NeNe tries to make that pass sometimes but it's risky for a TO

    He's done it a few times in the regular season. It's nearly non existent in the playoffs. He just stands there not a part of the game when he doesn't have the ball.

    Man we have to keep up the energy in the second half. Harden needs to attack early in the shot clock, and continue to drive. EGO needs to continue to be super man.

    More CP3 in second half please. He's getting everyone involved but can't say the same for James (dribble dribble dribble... shot!).

    That may be but the eye test tells us and the heads on TV something different. Hardens fall off and disinterest when he doesn’t control the offense is being covered up by great team D and Gordon being outstanding

    cp3 does need to run the offense more, but not because james harden is "putrid". i guess you guys have not noticed teams guard james a lot different than they do cp3. the defense of utah and GS are 100% geared to stop james harden, and your are talking about two of the best defensive teams in the league. when GS is locked in they are right up there with utah and milwaukee.

    Was talking about his off court exploits. On court, unless he has the ball, Harden is an inanimate object.

    It's easy to blame the refs for his struggles but at some point you have to realize he's just not playing well, especially up to his standards.

    Dan Tony should make Harden go within the first 10 seconds of the shot clock no matter what.

    I don't see how him dribbling away even gets him better shots
