It is close to that. "Entire" is might be an exaggeration, but it's not by much. I do stand by what I said.

It's an issue when you're so worried about creating contact that you would rather risk turnovers over making a basket. It's also an issue when you don't get calls, other facets of your game deteriorates as well, most troubling are the effort level and defensive focus.

Harden has had enough playoff experience now to know that refs won't bail him out. Yes he's 25, but I have yet to see how he 1. change his game in the playoffs 2. step up and embrace the challenge when the team faces adversity and 3. show that he cares with his body language. We all see his emotions when the team is rolling and he's on fire, but where is it when the team is down, frustrated, and needs leadership the most? I'm tired of seeing him elbows in, hands up, and looking for the nearest referee.

If leaving OKC and leading his own team is what he truly wants, then he needs to be better.

can't stress these two things enough. even bradley beal stepped up aggressively last night & tried to lead the wizards to a win and nearly pulled one out. playing hard both on offense and defense
