    He's still a great player, but his consistency is just flat out terrible right now. That's a big step he'll have to take next season.

    In what way is it an overreaction? Are you so blind to accept that he is not that my god top 10 player you imagined?
    Players better than Harden when healthy:
    -Lebron
    -Durant
    -CP3
    -Kobe
    -Melo
    -Duncan
    -Curry
    -Westbrook
    -Rose
    -Dwight (When fully healthy)

    I don't have a problem with missed shots, but why does he still dominate the ball so much? Just let the PG play PG and play off the ball FFS>

    Harden didn't show up in last year's playoffs either. When will the excuses stop? I can give his teammates a pass since this is their first playoff experience (for a most of them). Harden needs to start being held accountable. I blame a lot of this on McHale since he's been coddling Harden way too much.

    this offseason should keep the coaching staff busy.

    plenty to work on. james is no exception.

    He destroyed the Spurs. He had one bad series which was the Finals. Also has anyone thought that he could just be worn out? Durant said it took him 3 years to figure out being the go to player and after his first year he had westbrook which no one on this team is close to. We were never going to win this series, I am just glad that Harden is the reason we are in the playoffs.

    He hasn't been efficient since the all star break. There was also a stretch of games during our losing streak in Jan or so where he was also very inefficient. Some of it might be team focusing on him but I'm wondering if it's tire legs. his time definitely hasn't been well manage... Played too many minutes unnecessary in too many of the games.

    This has been said since the first half of the season and it's not getting any better. He basically preserves energy from the defense end to play the offensive games of both 1 and 2 positions, which hurts the Rockets at two ends more often than not. This is the reason I am not a fan of the current coaching and Harden's game.

    I see people say this every now and then. This translates into = did not watch the Thunder in the playoffs last year. You have no idea what you're talking about. He didn't play well in the Finals, but he hit clutch shots and played great in every other series.

    Drop a deuce during commercial break, then finish the game.

    He is good, but he is not a superstar, yet.
