here is why he gets a pass, simple: He is busting his arse and trying really hard. So is Dwight, Brewer, Prigs, Terry. That's called playoff intensity. TJ, Smith, and most importantly Harden look like they are taking plays off and not giving it their all. That as a Rockets fan is unacceptable. The team follows the leader. Harden is passive and has not learnerd what it takes to be a champion/winner yet.
He just peeked at the wrong time. He started the season on fire from the three. Then went in to an extended slump. Everyone wanted his head. Then he started warming back up. Then the playoffs start and he is slump. Terrible time to go in a slump. I just don't understand building an offense that features 3's and not having any legit three point shooters save for Harden and an old Jason Terry. You have to have another player that can hit threes consistently yet plays defense. Who is that ? Who can we target?
