    That was absolutely ridiculous. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

    Harden made some really sucky decisions late in the game. It's important for him to have those chances, and hopefully learn from his mistakes.

    The great thing is that the rest of the team stepped it up covered for him.

    He's gotta do so much better than that. Luckily the team picked up the slack tonight.

    HE HAS BEEN COLD ALL GAME. NO JUMP SHOT. WE HAVE THRIVED OFF OF PASSING, AND HARD NOSED HUSTLE PLAYS. THIS HAS GOTTEN US THROUGH 47 MINUTES. THEN HE COMES IN AND LITERALLY STANDS IN ONE PLACE FOR 23 SECONDS BEFORE JACKING UP A SHORT SHOT? AND AGAIN?? YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME? WHO IS ALLOWING THIS?


    ......... whew. We won. Awesome.

    Iso plays are terrible - but we do them since it allows us to control game clock.

    Dude I'd like to hope so. But you know what the definition of insanity is. We've seen this same song and dance happen in the last 10 games of the season yet it continues to happen in the biggest moments, in the Lakers game and now this one. I'm not sure youth and learning from his mistakes are viable excuses anymore.

    Im not sure there is an nba backup that would be worse in the clutch than Harden. His efficiency is r****ded bad at the end, and even worse he turns it over half the time in the clutch trying to draw a foul, not even trying to put the ball in the hole a little bit, when its obvious to the whole world except for him and McHale that the refs are in "let them play mode."

    I immediately cringe 100% of the time he goes into that low dribble stance and runs the clock down to 8 before he does anything. We could be up 3-1 or 2-2 if he wasn't so awful at the end. We also wouldn't even be playing f'ing OKC if he didn't give away so many reg season games at the end of regulation. Sorry for the rant, just hate our end game sososososo much

    I really don't believe the pros outweigh the cons in that situation. At least end it with a dribble drive. Force them to react at the rim or get a kickout. Better than a short 30 footer.

    If Anderson played tonight it would have been a 20 point blowout. Goodness, who averages 10 TOs in the playoffs??

    He needs to watch what Durant did, try to drive in and get into the paint.

    I cussed so many damn times near the end of the game. That was frustrating to watch. Hope he changes because that was ridiculous. His decision making skills are questionable.
