    True the standard some guys have for Harden is just unreal!! There have been 8 games this season, where players went for 40+points and 10+ assists. Harden has had 4 of those 8 games!!

    It isn't. The coaching staff set up good spacing scheme etc. It is always the deficiency of the coaching schemes that fails the Rockets. Almost never the other way around.

    I watched 80% of Hakeems games and am probably his biggest fan but Harden is the best offensive player in this franchise's history. If he cuts down his TOs he could be one of the best offensive players ever. His ability to get to the line is something this league has never seen before.

    Eh, he is certainly better than Hakeem offensively, but Moses Malone was an offensive juggernaut and was on par with Harden.

    He isn't allergic. He is just cannot concentrate on both Offense and Defense, being clutch in the 4th alike.

    It is a major problem with this team. Others have to cover for him.

    He will probably have one good defensive game in 10 or 20 games.

    The narrative has been set, it's sad, but it is what it is. Until Harden wins on the big stage and commits, this will continue.

    Click-baity, troll article headline with that Kelly Dwyer blog post. Don't know if he comes up with the headlines or not, but that is disingenuous at best.
