while this may be partly true about Harden, this can be set about a number of star players that don't look for their teammates and look to score too much (like our leader).
At least Harden does pass the ball sometimes.
Everyone can improve their game.
Some one need to tell Blake there is a game 7 going on..
clips not showing focus, intensity, will

That's the tragic thing about him- he can play good defence, which means when he chooses not to, he really chooses not to!

it is a valid knock on him.
Seriously though, do you hold carmelo to the same standard?
Man, the Clips suckered me- I thought they were no heart bums until this season, but they have reverted back to type

Yes! Melo can play good d and chooses not to because he wants to use all his energy hoisting shots- my wish is for him to take a step back on offense and add more balance to his game- getting late in the day though.
