    His shooting will level off. If this was a few games mid season, you wouldn't even notice, it just looks worse at the beginning of the season.

    Also, he's getting to the line almost 12 times a game which bolsters the efficiency.

    James always shoots bad to start the season I remember last year his scoring avg and especailly 3 point shooting was down thru the first 10 games then he just went bananas in December and shot ovr 50% from the field and 40% from 3 and next thing you know guy was back to his normal avg.

    Honestly his scoring avg is higher this season so far then last I think. I believe he was around 22 ppg for a while at the beginning.

    I'm mad about the start but James is a great great player and his play against okc still showed that. He'll get it going he's how way to many bag of tricks for him to be this bad for too much longer.

    I'm more concerned about Corey brewer going one on 4 anytime he gets the ball. And when DMO is going to back. I think he helped hardens effecincy a lot last year when they shared the court a lot together in December and January.

    the first game he'll shoot over 50% in a game will be the game where he makes over half of his shots in that game

    I don't recall a stretch this bad since we got him. Even a couple years ago in the Portland series he was doing a ton of stuff besides shooting to help the team win, this is the slowest and least engaged I've seen him over a five game stretch.

    Well that was quick and thank goodness. Glad to see Harden shake of his horrid start to the season.

    Props to Beard for his great offensive game tonight. His shooting numbers will rise to his career averages and maybe go above a little.
