    He's better than Hakeem.

    Look at regular season win shares.

    If Prigioni of 2015 still playing for Roxckets, guess he would get playing time?

    I guess not.

    Yeah and his Turnovers are very acceptable for a person handling the ball so much

    Harden has a good midrange game. He's just gone away from it.

    Balance needs to be the key word for him and this team heading into next year.

    Plus it's understandable that he plays no defense because he does everything on offense

    Especially considering his high usage percentage and how much energy he exerts per game.

    1. Who is LeBron besides LeBron?
    2. Harden is still top 5 in the League
    3. I still prefer him on my team than like 99% of the NBA

    Rockets only made the WCF in 2015 because McHale sat Harden for almost the entire run that brought us back in game 6. That may be a tough pill for OP to swallow, but he should have plenty of swallowing practice by now.

    Turnovers aren't correlated with winning.

    His turnovers aren't up much.

    Stop nitpicking.

    As long as the team turnovers stay under a certain amount, it doesn't matter

    You no basketball

    I just would like to hear that he wasn't 100% or better, 50% in these past two games...i stil cannot believe in how bad he suddenly was...he played so well in the first half in SA, maybe three quaters, and then suddenly, lights out...that's really odd tbh...

    In the end though, we have to ride with him, i've been very critical with Harden in different situations and i know i will, but i still believe he's that good. He needs to get better, he has the potential to be better, he can improve his game, he can improve his body (to me at least), is he going to do it though? We'll see.

    2015 TO's: 321
    2016 TO's: 374 (NBA single season record)
    2017 TO's: 464 (New NBA single season record)

    TO's went up 14.2% from '15 to '16 and another 19.4% from '16 to '17.

    What on Earth are you talking about? He went up 20% in total turnovers and set a RECORD, lol.

    Really man, that's just a 4% difference.

    No big deal at all.

    It doesn't matter

    He handled the ball more and more like 95% of the time

    When was the last time the Rockets season ended and we weren't all mad at James Harden? Serious question.

    It's a crazy love/hate relationship. We love him and want him to win the MVP award. We get mad when ESPN talks more about other players. We're quick to come to his defense until he does something that costs the team the game and the season.

    Oh well. I'm already in offseason mode.

    You're right, setting records for TO's is no big deal. Actually, it's a good thing, right? I hope he goes for the record again next year, because of how little it matters...

    He's drexler without the personality and a better shooter. No shame in that. HOF top 50 players but he's not hakeem. He can't will the team to greatness.

    ugh, it's going to be a long off-season. If we do not sign anyone, specifically another play maker preferably at the wing and another big man who can post up. ihonestly believe we will not do as well. Everything indicated that we overachieved in the regular season. judging by our poor playoff performance and how poorly we did in the second half of the season
