    There was a view of him at ft line, and I think Bull mentioned he had a hitch at top of shot recently. He proceeded to miss the next ft. I'll go back and check it out but when he's rolling, there's no hitch at top of shot.

    He did bury the side step 3 from the top of the key to tie the game before Jackson's shot.

    My question to you is if your worrying will make him shoot better 3s? Do you have a plan to implement for him to shoot better 3s? If you have a plan, how can you influence Harden to follow your plan? If your worrying brings better shooting to any or all of our players, please continue worrying.

    getting closer now. We all should be worried, cause he'd been shooting blanks for awhile now.

    I am sure James fertility has nothing to do with his basketball game.

    No, obviously my worrying doesn't do anything, and there's nothing I can do to make him shoot any better because I'm just a fan with no involvement with the team. That doesn't change the fact that I've watched every game this season and I'm invested in the team, so it bothers me when his shooting goes to **** like this. I thought it was worth discussing because this is more than just a minor shooting slump, and if this continues into the playoffs we aren't going to go very far.

    Harden came back hot after his hamstring injury, prolonged rest and having the Chuck Hayes exercised out of his jumper should fix him.

    Problem solved!

    According to MDA, Harden has been in a shooting slump because of 'too much rest...'

    If anybody can rectify that situation - MDA is the guy!

    and with 5 games left - thats plenty of time for MDA to ensure Harden isn't well rested for the playoffs!

    U go, Mike!

    LOL!

    Harden's shooting is awful in the whole March.

    Harden is not a sharpshooter like Gordon. His shooting gets hot then regresses to the mean. Smoking from the outside is not really his game. Driving and drawing fouls is his game. I am actually more concerned about his overall history of regression in the playoffs. Harden has never lit up the playoffs. Never. CP3 has never made it very far in the playoffs. Right now the team is playing below par. They must take it up to the regular season performance level and then blow past it. The second season is another game. They haven't proved they can play it.....yet.

    Yeah, I'm a little concerned, but still a few weeks to get it right before playoffs.

    from 2013, guess how many players have "lit" up in the playoffs and averaged 26 pts and 4 assists per game for 5 straight years??

    MDA should hire Thibs as his assistant coach when thibs gets fired then they can play Harden and Cp3 48 minutes.

    LeBron
    Westbrook
    Curry

    The volume remains, but for Harden and WB, the efficiency plummets. Not so much for WB because his %s can't get much lower.
