    Well, we need him to play a lot better to win against the Spurs, Kawhi did, Harden's turn.

    Did you just say Curry? Are you serious? And do you actually think the team LeBron and Kawhi is in would trade for him?

    Yes, I thought the answer is no as well so stop posting crap.

    moving without the ball would do so many wonders for harden's game and make it 10x easier on him and his body.

    Please, 1/3 of Harden's playoff games are like this ankle or no ankle. Just gotta adjust when he ***** the bed, we were in it with others litting it up.

    When Harden sucks, he like really really sucks, like goes to d-league player.

    Harden's playoff FG% as a rocket.

    2012-13: .391%
    2013-14: .376%
    2014-15: .439%
    2015-16: .410%
    2016-17: .417% (before tonight)

    is he always hurt?

    I agree, he's definitely hurt, you can see how he's just not moving well on both ends...if Harden is going to play like in those 2/3 games where he was hurt agains OKC i don't think we have a chance in this series...

    All you folks slamming Beard right now should be ashamed of yourself. The guy played through big time pain/injury which inhibited movement...It's not an excuse. It's the damn REASON. He deserves kudos for bucking up...doesn't even limp...wouldn't be in keeping with his on court demeanor/mojo/modus operandi...always has the poker game face/body language going.(so tough) Some of you honestly don't realize how good he's become. James was in spite of it all, bringing us back by doing what he could. (the league/refs took care of any momentum at key moments) What happened was obvious tonight.... I'm amazed at the lack of BBall/NBA comprehension flying around. But, what's even worse..when James more than ever deserves your respect, you spit on him. He showed the heart of a lion out there.

    Harden has always been a mixed bag in the playoffs. Also, why does he shoot so many damn threes when he is such an average shooter?

    Seems like when he's hurt he settles more to 3pt shots.

    Please, Was his ankle sprained every playoff series he has ever played. Even when he was with OKC he was up and down, and that happened every season he was here as well. He's just that kind of player where he has very very bad nights where he can't shake it off and does stupid things.

    Harden was not converting nor getting any calls around the basket tonight. Something's gotta give

    harden preinjury:
    37-9-7 46%
    35-8-4 41%
    44-6-6 52%
    clearly got injured in game 3 and since:
    16-8-7 31%
    34-4-8 32%
    20-14-1 46%
    clearly got injured again tonight:
    13-10-7 17.6%

    i don't think it's a coincidence at all. and i will admit he hasn't really been great in the other playoff series (he was great against the mavs and gs in the WCF run 2 yrs ago though) but this is clearly a different harden now and he was well on his way to demolishing everyone in his path until a fluke injury, and now another fluke injury has occurred. but it's cool though.. when we win this series you clown haters will go back into hiding again
