Double team Harden, get the ball out of his hands, and let someone else beat them. From their perspective: Eric Gordon handling the ball and making decisions is a turnover waiting to happen. Tucker making decisions wit the ball? Sure why not? CP handling the ball? The way he is playing, yes please. Expect Warriors to deny Harden the ball the rest of the series and double team him as soon as he has it.
Warriors finally figured out that CP0 is a bum, so yeah we are in trouble. Rockets are back to being a 1 man show.
It’s up to Harden and MDA to figure that out then. Harden’s plenty good enough, he just needs to care enough to do it. The idea that the reigning MVP can be relegated to 2 shots in the 4th quarter of a massive game is crazy. And that’s with KD missing most of the 4th and Green fouling out w 2-3 mins left. Dude has otherworldly talent, we constantly praise him for being “unguardable” yet here we are, excusing him again and again for completely failing to not only produce, but to even show up when it’s nut-cutting time.
