    Harden 17 points 7 assists 4 rebounds 1 block 0 TO at the half.

    0 FTAs. Refs will not give Harden any FT tonight.

    Great first half. Harden is just doing what the best on the planet does....

    On a side note, is House ever going to make another shot?

    No other player gets the treatment Harden does. Every team has to change their defensive plan when they play against him.

    Would love him on our team though. Just like how I hated Austin Rivers and Jason Terry before they joined us.

    I bet they practiced this defensive scheme by having Donovan Mitchell driving that lane as if he were Harden and decided it was a genius idea that Harden could never beat. You guys, Donovan Mitchell is no James Harden.

    Lol listen, giving PJ Tucker wide open corner threes is not the thing you wanna do man. I expect Snyder to stop letting Harden go right.

    Here is the key to defending Donovan's drive:

    He fakes one way or the middle and euro-steps the other way for a scoop-off-of-the-board finish.

    The way you shut that thing down is by letting him think you have been faked and then go for a low block to the side he euro steps to.

    Since he goes for the scoop, you dont even need to jump very high to block him.

    Clint had him figured out by the end of series last year.

    ...and right now Harden was waiting for it which is how he got that block.

    we know for a fact that the league office wants a giantanus vs worriers finals.
    they sent out their goons to try to wear Harden down before the 2nd round
