    I thought Harden did a nice job being aggressive and getting the ball moving tonight. Great game by our star.

    He disappeared from the game thread. He probably wished the Rockets would lose so he could put down Harden more.

    This is why he is the main guy on this team, and why the coaching staff will always give the green light. Without Harden, we don't have a chance, despite what some other people think. Even if he's off, he's still a distraction that the other team has to account for.

    The OP and all the others that start a "Harden sucks" thread after he has a bad game.

    and when he's not scoring, if you look he's setting every pick for our guards and directing traffic. Not only cause he's bulky as ****, but when he sets the pick, defenders hesitate to come off of him that gives our guards a little bit of space.

    Clutch should lock this thread after someone posts a gif of Harden letting the ball roll up and draining the 3 in the defenders face. End of thread.

    Yeah, honestly this is why all the Harden haters need to get out of this board. Where the heck are you guys now?! Harden 31 pts straight in your face :rolleyes:

    Harden was great tonight, even if he wasn't shooting so lights out, he made adjustments to almost all the areas that the fans have (and media, recently) have been harping about all season. No stupid iso ball, very little going into the lane exclusively to draw the foul and not to finish and much better ball movement.

    Only complaint is still weak defense, but we'll take it if he can keep up this kind of offensive game (new flash, he can't... PLAY SOME MORE DEFENSE HARDEN!) With some D, definitely top 10 if not top 5 player in the league, RIGHT NOW

    Harden would be even shitloads better if he developed a turnaround fallaway jumper, and master the midrange jumpshot.

    Problem is, those are the shots that our FO and seemingly coaches do not want him to take. They only want these things from the players on our team for offense:

    - Fast breaks
    - Close range
    - Free Throws
    - Three pointers

    The play style of our team is mostly a function of personnel, lack of team chemistry, and youth.

    Harden is the next Gilbert Arenas.

    Lol. That's where Jeremy lin was headed but he just straight sold out. Harden is too aggressive of an athlete to be compared to that dude.
