If this is it for CP3, then Harden has to muster every bit of MVP-ness he has left from the depths of his soul this next 1-2 games. Time to be the Magic to CP3's Kareem.
hopefully this is nothing more than how it was in 2015 vs. the clippers in game 6 when harden quit and mchale benched him and brewer and josh smith closed the game, but james had a solid game 7 to win the series.
I agree, his jumper is broke, but he’s competing on defense and did a good job attacking the rim in the 4th...he also had the pass to Ego for that huge three to put us up 95-91
He is going to have to trust his teammates too. He will be the focus of attention. Can't do it alone.
If Harden starts hitting again will be alright, gordon will have to have his best game yet. If CP is out that means possible showings of Anderson or Johnson perhaps they can contribute some points
If i'm not mistaken, he's always dealt with asthma. And by the looks of it, Harden has looked like he exhausted 98% of his mental and physical energy on staying focused on defense and they've resulted in wins. If CP's gonna be out next game, i think his defensive effort will have to drop to pick up the scoring slack.
