Can't believe it took this long for a team to trap Harden and force the ball out of his hands. Never seen a guy on a hot streak get to go one-on-one this long. :gucci:
???
The previous games, a few other people scored besides Harden. Now that they saw no one could score and Capela out, they can triple team him without fear. Philly literally hadn't done anything revolutionary or defended great, it's just Harden has scored by himself the same amount of points as the rest of his team combined.

EDIT: He has 1 more points than the rest of the damn team, pathetic:hhh:

They didn't start really trapping until the third. I'd live with Rivers, Green, Ennis and Tucker going for 30. They won't do that consistently and I want them making decisions off the dribble.

Harden gets to go one-on-one without a consistent double more than anyone I can recall. :gucci:

Again, until 3 games ago, Capela and House Jr were still playing and if they did, they would get picked apart. The 4 you mentioned are streaky shooters and play well 1 game for every 3 bad ones:manny:

Also, Grizzlies did try the same thing against Harden and you see how that turned out
