    Harden was player of the week twice this month. And will likely be named Player of the Month.

    He was 6-10 tonight, so this thread appears to be ill-advised.

    He's up to 36% from 3 for the year after the horrid start, I say fire away.

    He doesn't need to stop taking those shots. In fact he needs to take more and make more of them. If he can space floor out like that it makes it impossible for other teams to clog the paint and makes Dwight useless. The championship Rockets had Kenny Smith shooting 3's at 40 something percent. Elie, Drexler, Horry, Maxwell, Sam Cassell could all space the floor. When you have guys like that on your roster it makes Hakeems life easier in the paint. We need Harden and the rest of our team to start making those shots and help Dwight.

    Try watching Steph Curry's game who is more popular worldwide and you will appreciate what James does for a team.

    I say allow him to shoot 3's. We will need it for the playoffs. I want him hitting at around 37%+

    True. During the playoffs the team will benefit from DH12 and Harden being able to run more PNR.

    Did you just start watching the nba? He was in a shooting slump early I. The season.... Nice to see him break out of it and regain the respect from the line

    Harden's just doing his body a favor. I think he'll be doing whatever is needed come playoff time. I hope everybody's just 100% this time.

    Yeah. I hope Dwight is alright with pnr though. Recently, he's more fixed at being a low-post "threat" than anything else. In fact, Asik plays more pnr than him these days. I want the old Dwight...

    He's making 36% from three point land I'm good with him shooting as many as he wants at that clip.

    the way things are going, he'll probably be able to DND-Beard the last few games of the season.
