    Why on earth is Harris the focal point of the O right now. It's working. But seriously.

    I hope Harden plays better. He's giving his critics ammunition. Seems most Houston fans believe Curry is light-years better when he's not better to begin with.

    Griffin in foul trouble might be a blessing in disguise for the Nets.

    Giannis sitting is sad when KD and harden isn't.

    Harden, step in my man! Take a few step back 15 footers. He can't get to the rim and his three point shot is trash right now.

    It hurts me to see him have a shitty offensive shooting performance.

    Good idea to give Durant the ball.

    Bad idea to give it to him with less than 2 secs on the shot clock.

    Anybody who gets anti-Harden ammunition from this is an idiot.

    Dunno how much Nash's coaching is influenced by MDA, but the coaching staff needs to get Tucker switched off of Durant. Have KD come set a screen for Harden or something.

    The play is always someone (Green, Harris) setting a screen for Harden and then if Harden can't make the rolling pass, the ball goes to a stationary Durant with Tucker on him.

    It's baffling how much Nash wants Durant defended by Tucker.

    theres always a reason..

    maybe he’ll have a game saving block again.

    this is too much too often now… going back to his days at Arizona St. if he can’t shoot do you injury he shouldn’t be shooting.

    what happened to Mike James (beeyotch)? He was playing solid for a backup.

    You gotta give Giannis credit right now. He is actually showing up and playing a good game. He is 7-11 from free throw line, has hit a couple of threes, and like one mid range J. Only criticism I have is him not taking Durant. I don't understand it and if KD gets hot and Giannis is still not on him, I'll be pretty disappointed.

    The two can be both be true at the same time. You can both play injured and be choking. He's clearly hurting his team by being ineffective (some would say detrimental) out there. It's not a Rudy Gobert situation, but it's pretty close.

    He has a habit of disappearing in crunch time. Uncle Jeff is probably more dependable at this point.

    Probably not this simple. But I would mention the guy has a lot of muscle. Harden takes less steps and Durant is very thin compared to Giannas.

    Gotcha.

    With how he's been tonight I'm hoping he can keep it up in crunch time.

    Did you watch the Nets play? Harden has to play even at 10 percent capacity because they don't have a better option at his position. And people are going to hold it against him?

    Lol even if he wasn’t “injured” he’d still be taking the same bad shots. Same old harden disappears in games 6-7

    KD has mostly been smoking Tucker this series. He gets his shot anytime he wants.

    I guess at least he wouldn't have to work as hard, however, having Harris or Brown on the pick and roll can potentially give them an easier shot. KD doesn't really need that help.

    I get what you are saying though, let him have a weaker defender that doesn't make him work as hard once in a while.
