re: James Harden To Clippers

Great post,

Harden has all of the tools to be a top player in the league. However, in 13 years, he STILL hasn't figured out that what he does in the regular season doesn't work in the post-season. He still plays the same type of game and year after year in the playoffs his style doesn't translate. What's worse is that he has games where you honestly forget he is on the floor. He just disappears. He seems to decide he doesn't want to be active in the gameplan if he isn't feeling it for whatever reason and the worst part of that is he doesn't realize that if he doesn't play through that, he is nothing but a huge detriment to his team. The sad part is that he clearly has the talent to be a great player but he seems to have none of the internal drive to actually do the things needed to become that great player.
