OP has a point. We need Ryan Anderson to handle the rock in the clutch and hit step back 3's. By the way the numbers you're quoting are based on a really small sample size so big conclusions are not warranted. Def not serious talks.
another 10 turnover game coming up, but I guess it's not a problem and pointing that out makes me a hater
sadly, everything I pointed out in the original post still holds true to this day. MDA is a weak ass coach who can't hold his players accountable.
His turnovers are absolutely a major flaw in an otherwise great player. Just so damn careless at times it's unbelievable.
Coaches don't hold superstars accountable. Superstars hold themselves accountable. If you want to say that Harden turns the ball over too much, then OK, I agree he needs to improve in that area. But, Harden does handle the ball probably as much as any player in the league, so he's going to have a lot of turnovers.
there is no excuse for turning it over near 10 times a game, no matter how much you handle the ball. absolutely none.
What does "hold him accountable" mean exactly. How does D'Antoni go into practice tomorrow and hold Harden accountable for his turnovers.
It takes time. He is who he is. I can live with these mistakes from him in the regular season #1 he plays point.
Will Harden ever learn? This is becoming a pretty big issue? His TOs especially in crunch time are now a thing. And I'm tired his 20 or so games where he looks like he doesn't even want to play. I caught the last quarter in a half and could tell he wasn't there.
The ball in hands excuse is lazy. There were at least three turnovers tonight that were just harden being careless, not trying to do too much. You can forgive some "trying to do too much" turnovers but he can't compound that with 3 lazy not paying attention turnovers as well.
Yeah, like others already said the issue is how he loses the ball too much times. it's like when the game gets more physical, he doesn't adjust to that, he just keeps walking between two opponents without any attention for the ball like it's some sort of garbage times...i mean, those turnovers are absdolutely awful, but most of all they cost us 2/5 points at time and they totally kill the momentum.
true, this is becoming too regular to simply dismiss it as a 'bad game.' no, this **** happens every once or twice in a week.
Yeah not like you played the #1 defensive team in the league right? Beginning of the season no one expected us to be top 3 in the west so have some perspective people
