    I think he's just regressing to the mean, he started off the year absurdly hot.

    Coming into this season, I was a little worried about him having to carry an even bigger load than he has been with him bringing it up and having an extremely high usage night in and night out. So hopefully his poor shooting the last few games isn't an indicator of that.

    Harden's been one of the 3-4 best offensive players in the world for years now, but a 3 game shooting slump has you praying? Man...shows how good Harden is. Any sign of non-flawless basketball has some of y'all shook.

    Didn't he shoot over 50% from the field 40% from three and 100% from the ft line in the Toronto game? I mean I know it was easily his worst game but he still had 29/15/6

    I think part of the poor ending to some of our games is because he is tired, I liked D'Antoni pulling him with 3 mins left in the first and 3rd quarters and coming back with 9 mins or so left...that gives him 36mpg.....perfect.

    Good to have Beverly back and EG playing like the 6th man of the year.

    Harden's legs were dead last night, he only grabbed two freaking rebounds. Man are you serious Harden 2 rebounds. Give this man a day off coach.

    I noticed that too and I really liked it.

    It allows harden to play more in the 4th and be fresh and take advantage of a tired defense.

    Smart move by coach I must say.

    And obviously 36min didn't stop harden from scoring 38 on 50/40 shooting.
