Harden will definitely be doubled in the clutch time, but this will be able to create space for others. Mchale forces harden to do ISOs and that is the reason why harden had a below average score. Our coaches simply had not shown an effective way to deal with this yet. Just like yesterday 1st quarter. That is what happened when harden is doubled but forced to run ISO strategy. Mchale simply need to react faster when he saw harden is in hard time. 3/17 is not acceptable. The coach should do something when he saw his superstar is bricking. "Especially, when harden is still not fully come back from his knee, but force harde to draw the fouls."
What if he is having a horrible night shooting free throws, and the other team knows it and is fouling him a lot?
