    But he's stubborn.

    Passing the ball with only a few seconds left on the clock. Hogging the ball too much.

    Remember when he first got his triple double? He was amazing. He said he would like to do it more ...didn't happen.

    I hope he will change.

    This is so so so overblown. Similar to remembering all your bad beats in poker people only like to remember the few times this actually does happen and act as if it always happens.

    He didn't say you didn't. He is saying there is selective memory bias. People tend to remember bad luck things more too; like switching lines to see which one is faster -- whenever you do it correctly, you don't really remember, but when you mess up and choose the wrong line, you really focus on it. Natural human response.

    The 3.8 turnover and 5.8 assist is a bit much though, i'm sure he'l improve next season.

    And the funny thing is, people don't take into account that maybe the coaching staff informed Harden to do that. People also seem to forget, that play probably worked more times than it didn't.

    Wade averaged 4.2 turnovers his 4th year. And Durants turnovers are around 3.7 this season. As long as he doesn't go out and drop 10 a game I'm fine with that.

    Harden gets to the line at will while shooting a high percentage...has the ability to get his teammates involved. Watch what happens when he's paired with an offensive force in the post. Our team is in the process of being transformed and he is given the green light to try to give us as much as possible now. The guy's only 21 and is the real deal......great feel for the game with the ability to play within himself/in the flow or push the envelope ...sky's the limit.

    I don't mind so much if Harden turns over the ball because he's being aggressive or from making passes that go through Asik's fingers (not Harden's fault), but every now and then he does make a dumb unforced turnovers which I hope he cuts down on. I think Harden should be able to cut his turnovers down to around 3-3.5 per game as he becomes more experienced.
