    That was as good as it gets in terms of clutch play by the beard. Kudos to him for producing that performance .

    Can you stfu for one second and not comment on every harden's thread. like seriously seeing your egregious takes and your trash ass opinions on every harden's related posts is getting old. take a day off from Clutchfans and alot of posters on here including myself would be super happy, and you would do us a huge favor.

    You mean single handedly carrying this team farther than any other superstar could?

    Tbh, Paul carried Harden farther than he’s ever been since leaving OKC.

    Just can not agree more, let Gordon tries his trick first, if there is no better option, then back to iso

    You take it wrong, he is clutch, everyone gets it from the bottom of this heart. But team can play better, more efficient, so we may not need heroic play. And heroic play doesn't always work out

    We lost a number of double digit lead games this season because of this. It was kind of infuriating watching it. You can’t do this to a team like GSW in a 7 game series.

    We got away with this one but have to adjust. Paul needs to run it or alternate or something else.

    I practically threw food at my TV on that possession near the end where Curry was out of the play. It's 5 on 4! Attack! But no, our man has to walk it up.

    Harden cost us more points by running down the clock and squandering possessions than he got us with the 3's he hit.

    That floater at the end, though ... That was class. He barely got enough control of the ball to drop it in.

    That’s what he’s supposed to do tho.

    Him and KD are the two best players in the series.

    Whether KD does he’s gotta equal it or do better and he’s largly done that this series.

    And it’s shown every game including this one tonight has been right there for either team to take. We could easily be up 2-1 or down 3-0 every game has been within a single basket for either team with under 2 min to go.

    This is ready championship level competition at its highest form with the two best offensive players going h2h.

    It’s fun to watch even tho we’ve been on the short end of the stick 2/3 games.

    He's reading the defense. Some people take a little time to figure things out. Not everyone is Chris Paul and can see things like Neo sees things in the Matrix.

    How can "diverse" and "no midrange" coexist in same player? Utah and GSW are practically begging Harden to murder them from midrange and he still doesn't take it. So he's not as diverse as he could be because he can't do it, but because he wouldn't.

    I wonder if CP is deferring a little because he's trying to conserve some energy. The guy is leading our team in minutes played this series at over 40. I would like him to go to work in the mid-range more, but if he's playing that many minutes while chasing Curry endlessly on defense maybe they have decided to give him more of a break offensively. If Gordon and Rivers are gonna continue to play this well we can get away with it.

    We need to take the ball out of Hardens hand some and let Shumpert make plays.
