    I don't know what happened, but he has been crap for the 2nd half of the season. Last 2 games the guy has done literally everything to lose the game for us... Horribly inefficient for a while now, terrible defense, turnover prone. The guy needs to get his **** together, or we are in lots of trouble,,,

    We are a below .500 team without him. Be thankful that we have a 23 year old superstar that will grow and get better with time and give him a PF that is starter caliber

    This guy does not have the clutch gene anywhere in his body. He should not be holding the ball at the end of games, as he makes HORRIBLE decisions.

    *Drrrr...I'm going to hold the ball for 20 seconds, and then pass to someone to chuck a miss so my FG% stays good, drrr*

    Be glad he's here. Without him the Rockets wouldn't even make the playoffs. He is our superstar. Accept it.

    He is great on Offense, and is not so great on defense...and tonight he was not so great at anything.

    he is kind of right. The whole hold the ball for 20seconds is totally unacceptable. He CAN'T BE DOING THAT!

    IMO, the weight and burden of the season wore Harden down. Against teams that play hard, he can't dominate an entire game at this point.

    This is his first go-round being THE guy for a whole season. I expected him to wilt at some point and thought it would happen a lot earlier. He was accustomed to taking games off at OKC. That luxury is gone.

    Next year, hopefully Harden steps it up to superstar level AND Morey puts another championship piece or two on the roster.

    He is not a superstar. He is the closest to anyone we have but not a top 8 player in this league

    If he disappears again in the playoffs like he did last year, i'd be inclined to agree with you.
