    harden needs to get better in moving without the ball and scoring on off-ball screens.

    one big problem with harden's game in the playoffs is he doesn't do things to make the game easier for him when his shot isn't falling.

    1. He's a superstar for a reason.
    2. He is getting a lot of ticky tack calls.

    Of course they made mistakes, the one on Harden and Kawhi for sure, but that is NOT why we are losing.

    Lol these guys are so impressed the Spurs are up 10 ... They are putting emphasis on 10 hahahaha

    Here's an impressive stat , 19 assists , by the Spurs who are up TEN !!!!

    They are right they did go over a lot of Spurs stats , didn't once mention Anderson or Gordon or bev ..

    **** these guys and the smugness with which they "analyze" the game

    Man it will be all the much sweeter when these clowns are speechless when we win

    Among the many anomalies that seem unsustainable in that second half, San Antonio posted a 19-1 assist to turnover differential. That's insane.

    During the halftime shoot around, Harden just made 6 straight threes, then went to the bench to sit down, stretch, and talk to D'Antoni

    Wah wah wah, just ignore it....and I am not saying we are losing, saying that whining about the refs is a problem.

    I think we are FINE as I said.....I expect Harden to play a lot better and us to close in and make it a tight game to the end.

    Can we stop making excuses for Harden? The guy is seemingly in a win win situation, play well, gets credit for it. Doesn't play well, blame it on the injury. When you suit up for the team, there shouldn't be an excuse.

    yeah, is that what harlan said? i just assumed i wasn't listening and heard wrong. or did he backtrack into that 2-way player discussion. can't believe he said the first unqualified.
