He's playing lazy. All these mid range jump shots on pull-ups and fadeaways. It's pathetic. You can also tell when McHale is calling a play for Dwight because as they run down the floor Harden just walks past half court and looks like he has no interest in playing.
He is like a better version of Kmart. Once they stop calling those fouls for him he isn't that great.
It's more than a pattern now. The guy does not deliver in the playoffs. Part of that is the refs swallowing their whistles and part of it is that he is one lazy motherfuker.
He isn't driving like he usually does, and when he does happen to drive he is diving straight into people hoping to get a call.
I don't get Harden. All that talent, but it looks like the guy is not even trying. Compete, god damn it! Say what you will about Kobe, that guy could go for 4-20 shooting but he his effort was always 100%.
the way he plays basketball does not translate in the playoffs. limited offensive game and relies way too much on the refs to get his points.
