    Harden was tied for 18th overall in assists/game.

    For a top 5 scorer that is pretty damn good. And it tells me he could average top 10 in assists if he went into a ditributing mode and cut down his amount aggressiveness. He IS a great passer and that is not even up for debate so all of this is pointless.

    I like how he is getting shut out by Wesley Matthews! ( and here is where someone try's to tell me Matthews is a good defensive player)

    Durant and Westbrook took 45 shots to get 30 points between them, are they crappy post season players?

    bad shooting but he can add rebounds and assists and he had a big series against the Spurs when the Thunder made the Finals, he is only young as well

    He's our Spurs killer.

    He'll be there on the second round.

    he got another half to redeem himself, i don't care if he can shoot better, he NEEDS to give more efforts on the defensive end

    People are complaining about his defense but we really need his offense to go on fire. We've been waiting 3.5 playoff games so it's bound to happen anytime now.

    Also for some reason he hasn't been getting the foul calls like he was in the regular season.

    Playoffs are always called differently than regular season. That is a fact! I'm a Harden believer, but I think his stamina/energy is suspect. that's why he doesn't play both ends of the floor. I keep hearing, he's a capable defender, if he tries. The problem is, he doesn't try. So why not? He's conserving stamina.

    There's an analytics somewhere that stated that Parson ran 30 miles more on the court than Harden during this Blazer series.

    Better hope its not the Mavs. Or its Portland round 2 with Dirk instead of Aldridge.
