Harden plays too slow. He needs to pick up the pace.

    Maybe around the 2 minute mark with a 12 point lead but not with well over 4 minutes left.

    This is an MDA coached team, though. Protocol for slow play should be thrown out the window.

    Nothing good comes out of waiting until the last second to get off a shot and force plays that end up with a miss or a bad pass to a turnover. Even when we have a lead I hate watching him do that, and it never changes in the last couple minutes of every single game. He has always done it, but the coaches let him. We got lucky in quite a few games that we didn't lose, and I always said it was his sloppy turnovers and plays at the end. Tonight our luck ran out. We gave this game to them.

    Ball is getting sticky, needs to move it and attack the rim.
