I've seen enough, Harden is the real problem

    Harden forcing his teammates to miss wide open shots after selfish dribbling penetrations.... Typical

    @NateDuncanNBA: Harden failed to close out on Barnes who took an open 3, then failed to get rebound that bounced right back

    @NateDuncanNBA: Howard is still fighting hard on the offensive glass. Harden is not fighting hard in transition vs. Livingston

    @NateDuncanNBA: Harden hiding on Liv right now, Liv got him with a great cut. Then Josh Smith zero help on the Dray screen for Klay 3.

    And we haven't gotten to the turnovers.

    But hey, Harden may actually get his field goal percentage over 40% and his 3pt% over 30% for the series, so he's the players choice MVP again

    I have no love for Dwight. I'm just saying what McHale said,he's not the problem nor the solution

    Harden is not the greatest problem but I do not want to see him getting paid 18 or 20 milllion in the future.

    He stops any ball movement, guy is a sloth at times.

    Do you understand why we scored so few points in each quarter tonight???

    Honestly, are you watching some other game?

    Dwight's the main problem because he's getting the max money which totally screwed up with our roster building.

    It's like the world has become and can only disparage Harden because he isn't able to carry the ENTIRE team on BOTH sides of the floor..... Can his teammates hit a shot?

    A player like Batum is about to get 18-20 million per year this offseason.

    Harden at 18-20 million per year on his next contract would be an absolute steal.

    How about focusing on players that don't contribute sh** on BOTH ENDS OF THE FLOOR rather than a guy who works his ass off to carry this team offensively?

    What bs... Harden is literally the ONLY OFFENSIVE OPTION WE HAVE. he has no help on that end of the floor, he is single handedly carrying the squad on offense. Curry plays just as egregious defense but guess what? He has an all star team around him of quality players that completely unburdens him... It's a **** narrative at this point. Anyone put in that position would have a hard time committing 100% on both ends.

    Yup cannot believe today's NBA or NFL

    They just keep throwing money at athletes. More disgrace than anything positive.

    I watched enough regular games to know that is true.

    It is not entirely his fault but he isn't making his teammates much better either.

    He came into out of shape, that is a fact and he isn't helping make the offense more fluid other than for himself at times

    Not a real leader. A Robin, not a Batman.

    Maybe if we didn't waste all that money on useless Dwight, we might have gotten few more competent passers.

    If he's not gonna play defense, then he shouldn't shoot under 40% from field and under 30% from 3 with tons of turnovers for the first 4 games of the series.
