    I hope Harden has a transcendent playoff.
    Nobody remembers what David Robinson did, everyone remembers how Hakeem dominated Robinson. I hope Harden does the same thing and slap the "experts" in their face.

    With this philosphy we will go absolutely nowhere. Yes Harden needs to trust teammates. But he can still be aggressive in attacking to create shots for others. Harden needs to push it every possession. The lazy turnovers are unacceptable this year

    i'm with you. it's all about the W. Harden won't go 1 on 1 vs westbrook unless he needs to. he is a mature nba player now that knows it is all about the W.

    Get his teammates involved and hitting 3s and we will win

    You're all over the place. Pushing it usually adds to turnovers.

    As long as we win and do well, I don't care if harden averages 5/5/5

    I would want to see what OKC can do at home but the home games should be good.

    Yet Harden didn't push last night. He took what the defense gave him, played smart ball within the offense. Great job by him and great self control not to push too much. It was the difference. He never tried to do too much and it paid off.

    Pace is not pushing. It's playing fast within reason. Corey Brewer pushed himself over that edge. That's what pushing looks like.
