    Harden has matched his playoff career high in assist at 7. That's very surprising to me.

    Hopefully we can get Dirk into more foul trouble. I'm scared on him in the 4th quarter.

    ...who? HOWARD?

    Please, he's being unfairly taken out of the game, but besides that playing very well. He missed a couple hooks, but thats it.

    some weird fans here like to get right in to him, even though he carries our team

    they just want him to be perfect

    when he is on fire they are more than happy to jump on his back with love....

    curry's the real mvp. he can just flat out shoot and change the game that way. harden begs for calls by literally throwing himself at players to get a call... harden showing that he's just a reg season player. dwight is the only guy that can change the game in the playoffs. its obvious to anyone who isnt a homer...

    Yeah, they need to get him more involved. Had one good layup then went AWOL the rest of the time. He needs to push the ball. Run and get easy baskets. Dallas is not getting back.

    We would be up by double digits if Harden is more aggressive, Dirk and Rondo brought their team back, Harden needs to play like a man on a mission, cant have J Smith be our primary option on offense, that's Harden's job.

    Refs took Dwight and Capela out of the game, that's what you get with a Joey officiating crew on your home floor..

    Smith in and howard out was a huge part of mavs 21-4 run.

    Harden has these slow starts though, I wouldn't say slow but that he looks to be more apart of a team than dominate the ball. He's making some really great passes out there, is playing defense, he's just not hitting or taking too many shots.

    I think he'll be fine. I'm more worried about keeping Capela/Howard on the floor so Rondo would think twice before flipping stuff up at the rim.

    That play bumping into Nowitzki and falling down was really unnecessary. He could have gone straight to the basket and scored. Dirk wasn't even looking at him. Fortunately they called a foul. That could have been easily a non-call.

    As I said...he's not playing poorly at all. His defense and passing has been great

    Hard to do that when Josh brings the ball up and goes full r****d. He wasted everybody's time on the court, nobody got in a rhythm.

    ummm...it is obvious that Howard will make the big difference in the end, but Harden hasn't shown in this game that he's only a reg season player. If anything he's sacrificed his game a bit offensively to involve his teammates and play heroball. You see those 7 assists at halftime? Yeh, thats really good.

    Wake up. I'm not saying he's playing his best, but he's definitely not choking by any means.

    You showed you know nothing about the NBA's basic game.

    Two teams make runs all the while ...... that is natural as you and me taking in food
