    Just an awful, disinterested game for Harden so far.

    Can we really rely on harden spending a week in LA in the playoffs vs the clippers or Lakers?

    Harden doesn’t want to drive because there are so many defenders waiting for him

    And this is why going all in on 100% harden ball was and is stupid. It will never work in the playoffs. Even when the stars have aligned for us (no kawhi/parker, no KD, up 3-2) it has flamed out spectacularly. We need more diversity of options, but alas that will likely never happen.

    Good teams that win rings don’t give up points like this consistently

    He has all of 3 boards in 19 minutes. One block. I guess that's something.

    We give Harden deserved grief for doggin it, but save some hate for Capela's marshmallow ass too.

    15 point deficit with Harden playing like a complete bum. I'll take it. Hope he shows up in the second half.

    Harden needs to be benched the rest of the game. He doesn't deserve to keep playing after coasting and loafing the whole first half.
