Harden fixed his turnovers issue by getting more assists but the TO's are still a problem

    It seems odd to say, but he doesn't look for his own finishes at the rim enough. So teams can have a similar sense of security guarding him as they do a much lesser scorer. 1. Increase the FG attempts at the rim to limit the predictability of passes. (especially early) 2. When you do pass, focus on putting it on target! 3. No more TD passes.

    We've been on this carousel before.

    Half of Clutchfans believe you're an anti-fan if you discuss Harden's turnovers.

    Half of Clutchfans think Harden's turnovers are a problem.

    Round 3: FIGHT!

    Harden must learn to protect the basketball much better. He gets very careless at times with it.

    It's probably his biggest flaw. He's a bit ADHD. Maybe he needs to take adderall. I am serious.

    25+ppg = 3tos
    9+apg = 3tos

    harden is 29/11 with less than 6tos. thats good. he's basically an offensive system.

    any less to's and he'd be inhuman

    Bill says this at least once every game.

    "James needs to learn to treat the ball with more respect. He just gets too careless with it."

    That is like saying Harden fixed his front teeth by getting plastic lip surgery. Getting bigger lips to cover his teeth which are still an abomination.

    Turnover King hands over the ball so much that any team has a chance to catch up and win. This will happen in the playoffs once again.

    Well as a team the rockets have the EXACT same amount of TOs a game as the Warriors. Can you explain why noone is like "curry turns the ball ove too much" or "durant turns the ball over too much"? Well i can. They don't use one guy nearly as much as we use harden. Of course his TOs are high. Who cares if harden even had 12 TOs a game when the rockets have 15 a game? Who tf cares who turns the ball over as long as your team doesn't have too many

    You clearly don't understand the Rockets' hierarchy.
    Les Alexander > Harden > Morey > Others.

    The Warriors are significantly more talented than us, and because of this, their margin for error is much higher. That's why no one cares how many turnovers they have....because at the end of the day, they're still legitimate championship contenders.

    It's not the turnovers that get me with Harden. It's the type of turnovers. You can see the laziness in the passes he throws. 90% of his turnovers are unforced, as if he just hands the other team the ball. It's just odd after so many years in the league he still throws that stupid no look pocket pass. It's not close to being a hard pass if done the right way, but he insist doing it the laziest way possible.


    Until Harden stops doing these dumb turnovers, we will not be taken seriously.

    Yet we are not far behind of them. Explain it. You stupid people trashtalk so damn much. We are the 3rd seed in a damn strong conference with an amazing record and some people of you trash Harden although we are OBVIOUSLY a lottery team without him. So, the rockets are like 22th in turnovers with 15.3/game but they are also top5 in pace. Kinda obvious that you will have more turnovers if u have more possesions. You harden haters just watch the damn stat sheet and see 10TOs on Harden and start to trash him, even if the team had 12 overall. You'd rather see 4 on harden, 2 on bev, 3 on gordon 2 on harrell and so on. Yea i don't care a bit who has the TOs as long as the team doesnt have to many

    Absolutely. And then trade for Rubio.

    Also did we really need another thread about Harden's turnovers? We already had the "serious talk" thread and the after-loss thread.

    But yes Harden needs to have fewer turnovers.

    Generally speaking, if our players didn't have flaws we'd be a better team. IMHO.

    We've built our entire roster entirely around Harden's strengths. And now you're telling me that if we remove him from our roster, we're going to suck? Mind. Blown.

    The Warriors are easily a tier above us. After setting the regular season record last year, they're coasting this year. They know they have the talent to step it up in the playoffs.
