Irv Roland On James Harden “quitting” in Game 6:

My main thing is that there are certain guys in this league that have a history of shutting it down on their team. There are some guys you know you can’t count on in big games and big situations. James Harden is not one of those guys.
That game is an outlier game. I’ve never brought it up to him. I don’t know what happened. I know he was out of gas. I know he was tired. That Game 5 in San Antonio—we should have won that game—and when we lost that game, I think it took the air out of a lot of people.
