    Lmao , this guys statement is ridiculous

    How can the best player on the team have "the worst half I've ever seen" and they are only down 5 on the road ?

    Drive the ball and pass to the Capela or Faried for the lob you idiot, you get by your guy every time
    Don't throw lazy passes just give it to CP3 if your tired
    Couldn't even thrown an outlet for a wide open dunk after a steal WTF

    The man is having a tough half. We know what he's capable of. But instead of pulling for him to right the ship, we dump on him? That's fair weather fair ****. Sorry, but I call it like I see it.

    Don't understand how criticizing Harden for the absolute pitiful display in the 1st half makes someone a hater... dude had low energy, forced bad shots, and looked lost. He's had games similar to this before in the playoffs where he looked like the worst player on the floor. Criticizing him doesn't mean I'm rooting for him to suck, means I'm rooting for the team to win.

    Haters coming out of the woodwork man .

    How do these "fans" occupy their time all season long ?

    I mean they really haven't had a chance to bash harden all season ... you know with him practically not having a bad game lol .

    He is off man shooting wise.

    He has had a couple of silly turnovers but he has played solid defense and is still getting his teammates involved.

    I remember the James of previous years would not play defense not would he keep finding his teammates. He is trying to play through it. Just shot bad. I am sure he will end up with a good offensive game at the end.

    We are awful playing 3rd quarter this season.

    Possibly collapse is coming.

    Yeah, I’ve barely noticed him out there.

    Hopefully, we can run some screens and get him involved. Not going to win this one if James and Clint both have an off night.

    Exactly. Harden has had a historic season but he's not immune to being called out. He sucked in that first half. There's another half left and the Rox can still very much win this game so hopefully they can get the job done.

    He's clearly struggling, and it is fitting a pattern where playoff defenses stupefy him, but you have to root for him.

    He's in one of those games right now. Those games people point to to discredit all he's accomplished. I just hope Chris or D'Antoni or someone can shake him out of it in the second half. Or maybe he has to do it himself. We were always going to come back to this. It's one of the playoff minotaurs he has to defeat on his championship quest.
