    Why is Harden playing so many minutes? There are other players on the team spread that **** around!

    Davis had his Beast Face on last night...
    Harden had a sneaky good game. Didn't look like he was trying to over exert himself and was just out there chillin... Which is GOOD....!!!

    Parsons doesn't look like he's going to make it and wasn't too impressed with Rose.

    still concerned about harden's game being so reliant on FTs when it comes to the playoffs.

    He is one of USA's 3 core players alongside Rose and Davis. Harden may be the primary offensive option on the perimeter.

    Blame Durant quitting for putting more workload on harden. Could be a good thing tho.

    Im glad we get to see a Rocket on the national team, but no need to run him into the ground! Rockets need him too.

    Why? He gets to the line just fine in the playoffs.

    Yup. The only problem Harden had (albeit a pretty big problem) was knocking down his jumper. He couldn't hit much of anything until Game 6. If he knocked down his shots at his normal rate, he would have been just fine, and we probably win the series.

    It's Spain. They are the only threat to the US. Spain runs ten deep too.

    to be more specific

    plays where it looks like the sole purpose is to create contact and get to the line. every possession matters and if the refs hold their whistles, then the play tends to turn into a loss of possession (the possession is dependent on an outside force IE the refs). execution in tight situation.

    id rather see a system oriented play based upon getting other players getting involved because the players have more control over the situation.

    sometimes it looks like getting contact is the 1st priority and making the shot is a distant second (hand flailing turnovers trying to sell a call). if you look at a player like wade, he gets contact while trying to make the shot. that way if you don't get a call, at least there is a legit chance of the ball going in.

    doesn't seem like a great idea to be THAT reliant on the refs.

    Blah blah blah

    Tmac was ridiculed endlessly for not driving.

    Harden gets flak for driving too much.

    Fans just want to complain.

    it's more the manner in which he drives.

    are you happy about arm flailing turnovers in effort to get a call over actually trying to make the shot?
