    Harden and Gordon have missed 18 in a row combined. I’ll update accordingly

    As bad as he's shooting tonight, his defense, effort and play making are great. It's a bad game but not for lack of trying.

    I have less and less confidence in Harden to figure Dort out. This is less and less becoming an outlier for him, Dort legit locks him up.

    Wohaaaa!!

    What’s tomorrow’s lottery number?

    man, he has been playing boneheaded on offense. Great defensively.

    He is still looking to get his teammates involved, which is great.

    Better second half than first.

    Feel like they need Westbrook to keep him grounded. Smh.

    He needs to play smarter.

    Not even a bad game, just a poor shooting game.

    They're called "rotations" for a reason.

    Bad shooting game BUT unlike past years he kept his head in it and contributed everywhere else AND his teammates PICKED him up.

    21 points 9 dimes 5 boards is terrible?

    0 turnovers, perfect from FT line.

    Not to mention his 1,000 steals/deflections/strips.

    Harden's defense was exceptional.

    If anyone was terrible it was CP3, he was a -36.

    I would call that a poor shooting game by Harden but not a bad game at all.

    Beard with 3 TOs in 70 minutes so far. He's entitled to a bad shooting night.
