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

It's exactly as I'm saying, before people attempted that but his teammates we're scoring. Not a single one is now and so, why worry?

Even more so now, but I woulda done it before too. I want those other guys making decisions with the ball. Teams have not been trapping Harden as he's bringing the ball up the court or aggressively blitzing him on pick and rolls. The vast majority of his damage during this insane run has been one-on-one.

I'm living with anybody else on that team scoring 30+ because nobody else is doing it consistently.

Putting the league on notice, we hungry...

Jimmy better get with the program or he can kick rocks :camby:
You already know that nikka got a Heat jersey on underneath the Philly attire. Talks like a 2 time champ, moves like a journeyman.

Definitely but it's gonna be harder moving forward as Cp3 will be back in a week or so and this the 3rd game back for Gordon. Also this the first game with Faried and he playing well.

But I do agree about trapping him. But if you noticed, he wasn't trying to draw fouls like he normally does. It's easier for him to get the calls when two are draped on him

That's why you gotta blitz him on the perimeter or trap/press him bringing the ball up.

Yeah, when Paul comes back it changes everything, though it'll be interesting to see their on-court dynamic when he gets back. I wonder how Pringles is gonna manage their minutes and how much they'll play together. Both guys are at their best with the ball.
