    Gobert and Favors in the paint and ONeal harassing him on the perimeter is in Harden’s head right now. That blown dunk was pure fear of Gobert challenging

    This would be such a amateur thing to do. I would be shocked if MDA had something very contagious, passed to Capela and now to other players. And the medical let it happen.

    But hey, hope it's not the case

    Is Harden ill or tired? He’s got no hops.

    I have more faith in a 1994 Ford focus not breaking down than I have in James Harden in the playoffs. No way this guy is a leader for any team. Might be the most talented on the team but def the softest

    Defensively they’ve been great outside the unthinkably bad Gerald Green.

    Harden really needs to just step in, set his feet, and take the 2 points when they do that.

    I mean they are literally giving him open 2 point jumpers.

    Rockets aren’t far more talented than the jazz. Chris Paul is no longer an all star.

    I’m still flabbergasted at why Harden won’t just shoot the WIDE OPEN mid range when he has it. At this point you gotta take what the defense is giving you.

    He chokes in pretty much all playoff games when it matters. The root cause for that is he relies 100% on foul call mentally.

    The Jazz are executing that defense on Harden so much better of late. They played it perfectly last possession. One defender behind him and Gobert, who can make up a lot of ground, in front of him. Other guys have to make shots.

    CP3 was fouled and they didn’t call it.
    Did James wake up??

    Everybody looks hesitant and second guessing everything offensively. It’s like every reaction and decision is a fraction too slow. No confidence from anyone.

    It was nice to see James do something off the ball besides hanging around the half court line holding his c%#~.
