    He's putting too much focus on defense.

    This.

    We cannot expect James Harden to carry us offensively and defensively.

    He needs to concentrate on just running the offense and scoring.

    Yeah I am fine with James. He will get it together and still hits A LOT of big shots. Problem is roster space going to ling and parsons being exposed. Morey, listen up and change the perimeter landscape of this team.

    KD, Westbrook, and Harden are having their worst playoff performances ever.

    It's funny how the three OKC amigos are all having terrible shooting performance. Is it just me or haven't the Thunder progressively gotten worse ever since they traded Harden? I mean its like they had all three and peaked and got to the finals, then they trade one of the three amigos and now are struggling to get out of the first round.

    Damn... I knew he would still suck defensively come playoff time, but I thought he would at least make it up for his great offense. I'm not sure if he's been worse offensively or defensively in this series. Good lord he's been awful.

    KD and Westbrook have a good reason.
    Memphis are an amazing defensive team.
    Portland not that much.

    LOL at the defense excuses. Harden is playing like a loser.

    Somehow Tinmac will find a way to explain how Harden is doing a better job than McGrady did.

    Harden doesn't even play defense, so stop it with the excuses.

    TBH, right now, OKC looks like a version similar to Rockets, although with a better roster.

    KD and WB both take turns shooting, freezing out their teammates, who are capable of hitting open shots (Ibaka, Thabo sometimes, and R Jackson who is PROVEN that he can play).

    The two are trying way too hard to put everything on their backs when it's a team game. Gotta trust the team.

    I can't really say much about the coach.
