    Always wondered about that. Is it mental, that he just gets more nervous closer to the closing games or maybe teams manage to gameplan and he isn't able to adjust.

    Just strange for a guy who could pull that run of scoring, then suddenly other teams seem to "figure him out".

    If you’re defending the fact that harden shows up when the team desperately needs him, you’re delusional.

    When the pressure gets going in the playoffs he tends to falter

    Yep. If Harden lets this game slip away, I can’t defend him. I’m a huge Harden supporter.

    Crapping the bed is not an option.

    All those stories of D'antoni playoff coaching are true.

    No gameplan to specifically counter the other team, just play the same style even if it's not working. Zero adjustments.

    Between games, there aren't any practice or meetings, he just lets the players have days off.

    Also, it doesn't help that our crowd sucks balls.

    Look at sorry ass audience Toyota Center vs. Moda Center last night.

    Homecourt is of no advantage to the Rockets.

    Utah's defense is outstanding. Really putting us off our game.

    They are getting good looks.

    We are taking tough shots.

    GS would be dumb if they didn't guard Harden the same way...assuming we make it to that series. The step-back 3 is obsolete and it was Harden's bread-and-butter...gone...poof.

    Given that his game is very predictable (step back 3 or drive) teams adjust easily.

    Harden embarrassing himself with this tough guy act.

    Make shots instead of trying to get in peoples faces
