    Slowly getting back. Still looks like he isn’t 100% and a bit slow. But much better effort and plays

    I'm pleased he got so many shot attempts. That's a good sign IMO.

    Box score and highlights do not tell the full story. He is clearly unable to get into his top gear and has got to be playing with some lower extremity injury. That’s why he got his layups blocked at least three times that I saw, and that’s why his defense was so putrid.

    Maybe it’s just the thigh bruise, but I bet there was something else that happened weeks before to impact his lift and wreck his outside shooting. Now that part may be improving, but the second injury (thigh bruise? muscle strain?) remains and will be slower in healing.

    He was playing center and defense most of the game. Harden is one of the few players that can truly play all 5 positions and be successful. He was doing what the TEAM need —> coach wanted.
