    superstars are supposed to be clutch most of the time. harden is anti-clutch. bricks/turnovers everything in crucial moments.

    Please don't call Harden a superstar. Not with the way he's played the last month.

    someone paid him to lose the game but it didnt work. he gets a bonus if he gets a double double with turnovers lol

    he's just scared. hopefully he gets his balls back next game so we can avoid the blowout

    He had 36 and 30 the last two games and averaged 26/6/6 in the April regular season. Percentages have dipped a hair, but good lord, he's still a really fine player.

    Look at Perkins' stats: 4 fouls, 4 TOs in 10 minutes. That's how you play for the other team.

    Who else is going to shoot? Especially without Lin? There's no one else on the floor that can consistently create his own shot, and there's no big man that can finish at the basket, so Harden's going to have to shoot a lot against a very long defensive team. Shocker. :rolleyes:

    You know, Durant had another fabulous game. But he had 7 turnovers. Now imagine the egregious flops by Martin and Fisher are called correctly, it's 8 for Harden. Which is too many!!!!! Anybody with more than five turnovers needs to grab some pine. Sorry Kevin, it's time to start Liggins.

    Harden is 23 and this is his first year being the number one guy. GET OVER IT.

    Those are horrible shooting percentages and he's turning the ballover like a rookie...I think people "may" have an argument to say he's playing like S&^t right now. Anyone getting paid the max and who's "specialty" is scoring has got to take some criticism in this case don't you think?

    The short term memory here is pretty amazing. Harden's clearly been gassed towards the end of the season, he was incredibly clutch most of the regular season.

    It'd be fine if he gave it his all but had a bad shooting night, but he wasn't even trying out there tonight.

    A guy that averaged 26/6/6 in April and scored 36/30 (with an average of 9.5 rebounds and 6 assists) in Game 2 and Game 3 isn't playing like ****. Sorry.

    I like it.

    Lin has got his 8 month torn meniscus. Harden got his dead legs.

    I used to say the dog ate my homework but for some reason they didn't believe me.
