Why does Harden take so long to make an offensive move?

Harden plays patiently. It's who he. This isn't anything new.

 

He's watching everything unfold to make a play.

 

Puh-lease. That's our offense, if you can't make a play before the defense sets up then go to half court sets. Golden State is just getting back on defense.

 

If I told you what Harden was doing last night, you wouldn't care much about him right now or how he's playing...... (Reliable Source, I won't say anything from here but just know if this ever comes out, I'll come back to this post)

 

He makes plenty of "quick moves". There are other times where he doesn't. Pretty standard.

 

he's gotta play off the move more and make the opponent switch and recover instead of ballstopping so often

 

give him more offball action and more screens

I think that's the next evolution of our offense. after we get a competent pg

 

he gets more probing when his shot is not falling

 

We are number one scoring team in the post season.....

You don't understand apparently.

 

Dribbling the ball for 20 seconds does nothing productive, OP is so right. Anyone who disagrees probably has zero basketball experience.

 

..... which leaves a teammate open.

The proof is in the pudding in our offensive stats, not your observations.

 

Do tell.

 

 

 

He needs to make a move around 6 to 8 seconds left. Not 3 or 4 seconds left.
