    About as much as we believe such a trite oversimplification is an accurate reflection of what a healthy Rockets team does.

    What's too much for you then? Surely you agree he should be taking the most shots on the team, right? And he should be taking a lot of 3s? I'm just trying to figure out when it crosses over from typical number one option playstyle to "the Harden show."

    wait so who else should get more usage?

    and aren't three's and layups primarily preferred by Morey and MDA?

    Right now Harden gets 27% of the Rcokets shots. How many percent should he be limited to?

    On 56% TS. The Magic won 42 games that season.

    For Reference Harden's currently averaging 39, on 25 shots, at 61% TS.

    I have no idea where the line is. Harden should be taking the most shots, but how many is too much?

    Averaging around 40PPG, is probably too dependent on Harden to win the title in my opinion. So I would say Harden in his current form is a regular season beast but questionable to win it all.

    How about better shot selection? How about playing off the ball some since Harden is better shooter then Russ?

    Why are you thinking this purely in shot distribution? Are you just assuming this style of play is the most optimal for the team?

    25 drives 13 3 pt attempts.. you think this is against Morey and MDA's philosophy?

    you want harden to shoot more or to pass more"?

    I have no idea what Morey’s philosophy is on contested 3s, but I would imagine he prefers open 3s more so than contested, step back 3s.

    I want Harden to make better decisions when to shoot and pass.

    Because his decisions are not based on what defenses are doing right? I mean if it was a simple as “JuSt MaKe bETtEr DeCiSioNs!!” Don’t you think it would have happened already?
