    Agree. Just make sure he doesn't pass the ball when it is only 1 second left on the shot clock. That is another problem this bone head player has.

    This website is a nuthouse after losses. Even though we lost Harden was good in the clutch and has been good in the clutch consistently. I would say he is really good in the clutch

    this is the other thing that gets me fired up. ISO harden has positives as well. It gives you excellent clock management when you are up late in a game. you always see the crappy teams havve no idea how to play the clock and slowing the game down cuts down on the risk of a stupid turnover or foul and allows you to play the last X amount of minutes exactly how you want to.

    Also Harden is actually really good at ISO, he is borderline elite

    I mean, if CF guys here are aware that the poor big man only has 1 shot in the 2nd half, why is it that the coaches are not aware of that, and why not making adjustment to let him touch the ball more or to play more inside out ball when you have the best center of the league in your team? Some bad, bad, coaching. If we can't fire the players, we fire the coach(es).

    So true. We have been beaten by so many bottom teams and lost close games to them. It doesn't happen too often to the top contending team. Forget about talking about being contender unless we are playing like such.

    You are asking McHale and our coaching staff to make in-game adjustments?

    Bwah!

    You're asking too much.

    Unless I'm doing this wrong- in the 4th Q, we're 7th in points (26.0) and 25th in point differential at (-1.2).

    http://stats.nba.com/leagueTeamGene...ld=PLUS_MINUS&sortOrder=DES&filters=&Period=4

    But that includes blowouts where starters on either side may sit

    In 4th Q in the "clutch" (<5 minutes remaining, ahead or behind 5 points) we're tied for 7th in points (7.9) and 11th in point differential (+0.6)

    Just because he is not in the game does not mean there is a 38 pt hole. Someone else on the team will pick up the scoring. He defense level is pretty bad this game and probably offset much of his offensive production.

    All the argument about not needing Lin because Harden is a play maker seems to be a joke. In the last quarter, he just looks to get his own so he makes plays for himself.

    After a few games, people will look at he stat and say wow what a great scorer he is, but completely forget the games that were lost because of the way he plays.

    Because people have short memory and just say what a great scorer he is without remembering the games that were lost because of the way he played down the stretch.

    That was one game and he kept possession to control clock which in the worst case scenario was an OT. Harden's skips on defense for his offense and that is an issue that is going to come up again and again.

    Thanks for all your replies first of all. I would have done the search myself if I had my computer.
    I meant to ask for the number of Harden's FGA as compared to the team's total FGA.
    Also, I want to find out Harden's assist number by quarter.

    Harden got 38 pt with 55.8% in eFG% and 62.5% in TS%
    Who can pick up the scoring in such high efficiency?

    Not the case in the San Antonio, Memphis and NO 4th quarters. But yeah, he failed tonight
