Unlike regular season, the opposing defense will dictate where he will go if he just walks it up and slow motion it. I understand he has a lot of success playing that way in the regular season. But man he needs to tell the opposing defense when to start. Let CP handle it more.
Exact point that JVG made. He should be a consultant to the Rockets. The isolation play should not be all and end all against an all-time ref assisted criminal defense, even if you are James Harden. Also, if the mid-range shot is there, take it. It's there for a reason. All the other options are covered. Make the adjustments. 2 points is greater than 0 points every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Cp was a disaster in the clutch so no he should not be handling it in the clutch. Harden just needs to makes his moves earlier on the clock
