    The lack of post play to help close out games will haunt this team. Harden can't be the only post player on the team.

    I guess when we get Bosh next year that will solve some issues.

    Dude it is the two for ones (which i advocate). I hope he keeps shooting. 33% from 3 still gets you the same amount of points as making 50% jump shots.

    as per JH's http://stats.nba.com

    3 X .346 >>> 2 X .436

    but I agree he needs others with better 3pt pctges take the 3 instead

    Wow, this might be the least hostile "discuss Harden's flaws" thread that I've seen this season. :cool:

    Usually I don't mind the pull up 3s, but he was forcing it last night, he was clearly not shooting well and on a couple huge possessions he just jacked nonchalantly. Wasn't a fan of his shot selection there.

    It reminded me of when Tmac had that bad knee before he "shut it down" in the 09 season, he would just lazily dribble and jack contested 3s at the end of games and never make them smh.

    While I completely understand the point you're making, that doesn't mean he should be immune from some legitimate (statistically sound) criticism.
