It really is true. I mean. Harden was incredible tonight. If he scores on that last possession, it's one of the best playoff performances I've ever seen. But a step down from that appears to be choker who sucks in the playoffs.

It's Dwight fricking Howard. He would have shot it over the goal.

It's like that everywhere all the time in sports now. It's just the nature of social media. Everything is a complete overreaction all the time. If somebody doesn't go MJ 50 points game winner every night, they are the worst player EVAR.

It's crazy how fluid he looks shooting that 3, but he looks so stiff and awkward shooting a FT.

Couple of breakdowns on the play
Harden had three on three but Ariza stayed to close to him in transition and that allowed Thompson to double the ball. Ariza has to run wider and space the floor
When harden picked it up he had Jones wide open in the middle of the floor it he missed him.
When he swung the ball to Dwight, terry fricked up and didn't get to a shooting spot on the opposite wing. He went to the block and that clogged up the lane and didn't give Howard a place to reverse the ball. GS now has everyone back with Green protecting the rim.
When Howard caught it Mchale should have called TO. They had about five seconds there
When Howard went back to harden, Ariza should have been in the corner but he was still too close to harden and that allowed the second trap to disrupt harden
When harden caught it, there was about three seconds and Mchale should have called TO. However now you come out of a TO there and harden doesn't have much time to get to the rim and it becomes a catch and shoot play
When harden caught it the second time, Howard was wide open and harden should have thrown it right back to Howard for the attack on the rim
Lots of breakdowns there and I don't blame harden except for missing the open jones in the middle of the floor

I m a fan of Harden but that was an 2011 Finals Harden type play at the end.
Let's hope they don't let this loss haunt and this series turns to shite.

Yeahhh well thats why i asked. Last time i checked there were 3 other players on the court.
Exactly why harden should've passed to someone else instead of trying to split the double team.

He choked at the end, but is the sole reason he even had an opportunity to choke. He led a dominating comeback.

I said it once, and I'll say it again. Harden isn't the only one who blew it on his team's final possession. Curry did too. He ran off too much of the shot clock, dribbled himself into trouble, made a bad pass, and ultimately cost his team a chance to seal the game. That'll be forgotten because GS won - but it's the truth. No one was more relieved that Harden stumbled at the end than Curry.

None of this is true. He made a good pass to Barnes who drove down the baseline and who missed a layup. It's not like it was a shitty falling back jumper into the crowd with time expecting bc he messed up.
Barnes got a pretty good look. Howard made him turn his layup
Into a reverse layup but either way it was a pretty high percentage shot.

That wasnt his fault the guy passed it back to him when he was in double coverage. Who was that who passed it back to Harden. He was wide open for the shot.

Looking back Dwight had a better chance to make it than Harden
