    agreed, I mean whenever you watch the guy practice his FTs he swishes em all.

    He's just an awful in-game FT shooter, and I'll never really understand why.

    Is anyone else starting to wonder if Harden is fools' gold? I really thought he had turned a corner this year but he's regressed badly in just these past 2 games. He's been a complete non factor except for the assists and now he appears to be taking stupid fouls in order to get out of the game. I'm wondering if he's doomed to be a Karl Malone or Chris Webber type - uber talented and big during the regular season but just doesn't have the extra gear (or mental toughness) to carry a team in the playoffs. Not to mention that his defensive lapses are beyond bad - he's both giving up points and getting his big men in foul trouble when they try to cover for him.

    And if that's the case, that Harden will never be more than a stat stuffer, what do the Rockets do with him?

    Harden cannot comeback until the fourth.
    He will pick up his fifth within two minutes of getting into the game.

    It's more because we put Dwight on Blake.

    It's working now but watch Deandre go ham when Blake starts lobbing it to him at will.

    Harden didn't quit. That's a bull**** statement. Is playing poorly yes, but he didn't quit. It's a 48 minute game.

    I think because it increases the risk of Dwight getting in foul trouble

    We are too indecisive when Harden is on the floor. I am not surprised we have cut into their lead since he sat.

    the key imo is to have griffin get passive which is make him take tough jumpers (hope he misses) and then let him "disappear"

    Harden goes to the bench and we make a run while play with more intensity and move the ball on offense, sad that this guy pulls a Houdini every year in the playoffs, and fans blame T-mac for not showing up in the playoffs.
