    Pretty interesting. Keep in mind this was done midway through the season.

    Harden turning the ball over too much against good defenses. Giving Lin fans more ammo to use against Harden :eek:

    And this is what all the "Stop ISO'ing Harden" people have been trying to say, to reign him back from forcing things and trying to cut down on the "heroball".

    Since this was just on the first half of the season, we don't know if this trend improved or got worse in the 2nd half. But Harden's overall stats did get worse end of the season, so would have to think he didn't improve on the turnovers (he did lead the league in total turnovers after all). Harden's assists did do go up as well, but not enough to offset the turnover margin.

    Surprised Dwayne Wade has such a wide swing being so bad against good D, and making up for it feasting on the bad D's.
