    James Harden about protecting the ball in the 4th quarter?? After the 2nd behind the back pass attempt, which lead to another turnover and OKC getting a Clear Path foul last night, along with the constant driving to the basket looking for a foul, rather than just trying to make the shot.....it's becoming an issue!!

    I feel the only person on the staff or in the Rocket Organization that can talk to James and get through is John Lucas. MDA is still developing a relationship with Harden and I feel he doesn't want to tear down the relationship he and Harden has built. Morey is Morey, he feels as though Harden is a minority, so he doesn't want to be reprimanded or fired. So, to me that leaves John Lucas.

    Lucas played the PG position, plus he seems to have a good repoire with the players on the Rockets, as well as players around the league.

    I'm not trying to take away Harden's SWAG OR HIS CREATIVITY, as he states in his new commercial BUT James the 4th quarter is nut cutting time.....chill out with the creativity! A basic pass can go a long way.

    Meant to say, Morey feels as though Harden is a Minority Owner. LOL!

    The drive looking for a foul doesn't bother me as much as the dribble for 23 seconds step back 3.

    OKC along with the Warriors know to play Harden extremely well. I would add the spurs too, but not as much anymore since Duncan left

    I agree! James should know better by now. Also, He should look to Eric Gordon more, especially down the stretch. He's our best shooter

    man, if James makes the same mistakes in the playoffs I don't think I can handle it. Somebody's gotta talk to Harden about this issue ASAP

    Understand that Harden has the ball for the MAJORITY OF THE GAME BY DESIGN BY MDA...IT'S BOUND TO HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME

    felt like Harden cares a lot about Westbrook's feeling ,played like 'd cheered for him , didn't want to steal the spotlight. Day&night the way he played against WB&KD together
