    actually the momentum was killed when he went off, a 10 point lead cut to 5 as the bench couldn't do anything when he sat.....even though he didn't sit for long

    Percentages and buckets matter. Luck and patience matter too.

    Championships without a super team are not for the faint hearted. They are no joke.

    You can’t hold Harden to Warriors’ Durant standards, period. It’s a different ball game.

    What do you mean it doesn't matter? He does not NEED to take 13 3's at 30 percent, especially in situations where we go through a scoring drought and can't buy a basket

    He shot 40 percent from the three yesterday......................he scored at the basket as well. You go tell the team to change their game plan

    Harden shot the three ball at 40 percent which is damn good

    Would have been 50% if he hadn't taken 3 terrible 3s - two of them on back to back possessions after dribbling at the top of the key before launching, and one because he had no time left since the play didn't develop and he launched from like 35 feet.

    Numbers don't lie, but there is always context within.

    I almost think CP3 did that on purpose, knowing him.

    Meant to quote Jux Jolt.

    OKC are being subtle but they are consistently crowding Harden's landing space.

    It was much worse in game 2 and 3.
