    I am a believer
    I have seen the light.

    Jimmy could literally make 50 points on 25 shots on the block.

    The Lakers had no answer for it
    I'd be shocked if anyone else does

    Last Night .. . for the first time in long time I realize how f***ing lethal it was

    Watching CP3 in the same area .. . he is GOOD
    but sometimes he gets blocked or the man is simply too tall

    Harden does not seem have that problem at all . . .. . . . .. .

    I am speaking this into the universe because . .. .
    I need about 2 of these a quarter from now on.

    Saw it a couple of times during last nights game and was shocked...it's like he forgot he had that in his bag of tricks. Unstoppable indeed.

    I was thinking that last night. We haven’t seen Harden use that weapon since the 014-15 season when he was regarded as one of the best mid range shooter. McHale for all his faults as a coach used harden on the elbow as a playmaker regularly because of that

    Adam Silver will figure out a way to just SHUT IT DOWN.

    He’s got that jumper. It was lethal in the 2014-2015 season. He’s just used to shooting 3’s.

    No we aren't going to ignore it. Some of us have been asking for him to look for it more over the past couple of years.

    Imagine if instead of bricking threes , he went back to the stepback two when we needed a bucket .

    What a great dream

    Unless we can get to him first and convince him that it benefits the Warriors or LeBron.

    I was shocked when he busted it out last night. He's big for a PG and he can exploit smaller players in the post. I would love for them to start mixing it in to the offense more.

    Well since MDA let jim does what ever he want, then he should definitely start taking more of those jumpers, those jumpers came in handy in the game last night

    Curry Nor Klay could handle him there. . .. I PROMISE YOU THAT

    Are we going to ignore the fact that Jimmy can pretty much do whatever he wants offensively on a basketball court.

    Midrange always looks great if executed well.

    He may not be as silky as Jordan but he is just as dominant

    2014-15 Harden and that elbow jumper was so nasty. He really needs to bring it back. I remember him breaking Jimmy Butlers ankles on back to back plays with it.

    Harden doesn't have to push someone out of the way

    I remember back in game 1 of the 2015 WCF when Harden was straight up abusing Klay with his midrange game...made Klay look so helpless

    Harden's mid range shots are especially lethal in clutch time. I dont care Morey's BS on efficiency of 3pt shooting. Making a mid range shot is better than bricking a three any time. I hope Harden can take more mid range shots when he is wide open in mid range.
