    Yes. He cant be his usual 30+ pt self but is still very much the 5+ to guy. It doesn't add up as you have seen with the teams W-L record. His style of play isn't fit for winning. Same with Russell.

    You do know when wall wasn’t playing harden averaged 39 points 12.5 assists 6 boards on 69% shooting and 50 percent from the three point line right? If you can’t see he is taking a backseat to wall when he is out there hence the less points then I don’t know what to tell u

    I mean you guys saying he’s been exposed do realize the ball is in his hands a lot less now and he isn’t taking nearly as many shots right? One’s numbers would decrease with a reduction on offense. Coincidentally the Rockets are awful with more “team ball” lol go figure.

    I’m not saying that he should be Lebron James, I’m saying that great players can play off the ball. Harden can’t.
    That is my point...The great players can play off the ball. Lebron doesn’t need to have the ball every possession to be effective. Lebron has always been great at making others around him better. Harden is incapable of that. I can’t believe that we were so desperate to keep him that we completely ****ed up our future to this extent to get westbrook.
