    Chris paul has definitely played a big part in helping our boy out.
    Every team tried it on Harden but Paul just punished them for it.

    Pippen has an awful voice for TV.

    Painful to the ears.

    ESPN has some really bad analysts who were former players
    I only like Jalen and JVG

    I'm not listening to that crap, but I assume the answer was "let Toni Kukoc take the last shot."

    Pippen is right. Harden tend to quit and get worst as you get aggressive with him and get him frustrated.

    Literally everyone who comments on how to guard Harden says this exact same thing. Get him out of his comfort zone.

    Seems like that one game last year in the playoffs, players and "analysts" alike all regard Harden as a quitter now.

    He has the most to prove this series and I hope he redeems himself because I find it unlikely to happen.

    The cast around you makes you do this? In a elimination game?

    That’s why I said I can remember. Who can you think of that’s as great as harden offensively that had a weaker off hand? I’ve seen him avoid taking damn near wide open attempts to finish more difficult attempts with his left.

    No hate on him, I just can’t think of one. Kobe had a ridiculous left hand, Steph finishes well with his left as well, etc
