    They didn't even play defense. Worthless.

    Sadly no one is going to give him credit at all for that. I've been saying he was injured all season but it falls on def ears.

    He is talking about Offense and Defense as two separate Dimensions.

    On Offense he can do lots of things or couple of things therefore multi-dimensional only on Offense

    Sure blame harden but ignore the pathetic coaching philosophy in place. Without James Harden this team would have lost 60 games easy.

    Without the team, James Harden would have lost 82 games.

    Well, I guess the rest of the team has zero dimensions then, since they are putrid on both offense and defense.

    It's hard to believe that Harden wasn't racking up assists last night considering how well his teammates were shooting the ball.

    Nice analysis as always.

    Ya it can 'just happen'. That's a unbacked assertion. There have been plenty of stars that had one fluke mega superstar year ex: Gilbert Arenas.

    Many of the players that Harden is passing to were very competent before playing with Harden.

    Maybe... just maybe when you stand around on offense you become more disinterested which can affect your shooting performance?

    The only play Harden likes when his teammate scores is when he directly guides them in for the bucket. He doesn't care about being the hockey assist type man because that hockey assist doesn't affect is 29 7.5 6 line does it?

    pretty much this.

    He helped create a problem that now his apologists praise him for when he mitigates that problem with sheer volume stats.

    and Dwight apologists like you place all the blame on Harden, when he was the only one who actually showed up in the playoffs.
