Like I've said to other posters, this excuse would work if Harden wasn't shooting 41% for his career in the postseason. He isn't lighting teams up and losing by a hair. He's put up tons of duds; too many to ignore.
The amount of creation in isolation the Rockets need from Harden is unsustainable in the playoffs.The Rockets offense consists of little ball movement and they rarely push the ball for easy buckets, the offense is basically Harden dribbling for 20 seconds before he decides to drive or shoot. Their offense is clearly taxing for Harden physically since he always seems to break down towards the end of the series after strong performances initially. The fact that the Rockets were a half and injury away from being champions last year should be enough for people to lay off with the choker label.
