    Beard just needs to conserve his energy this next game. He just needs to adjust his dribble , dribble to just a dribble and he’ll be ok.

    If it ain’t broke. We’re winning and more of our guys are getting involved as we speak. We NEED Harden to show up on the defensive end. Balance Is key. He wasn’t even that concerned about not scoring that much. 55 threes and hold gsw to under 95 points and we close it out.

    CP3 is the only dude on the team taking and making mid range jumpers.
    I hope somebody steps in and does that. I don't want to see a 3 point shooting contest.

    You're leading me to provide the answer you want, much like Cowherd led Cat in that interview.

    I'll stick to my original post as response to the video. Not interested in derailing the thread further by discussing Mr Space City's comment.

    Hate the fact that I started writing my post when there was only 18 messages, then there were 38 by the time I submitted. Thanks guys. This thread is a waste of time now.

    Agreed.

    He's struggling to shoot the 3 for the most part, his shooting overall isn't exactly bad.

    Game 1: 14-24=58%
    Game 2: 9-24=38%
    Game 3: 7-16=44%
    Game 4: 11-26=42%
    Game 5: 5-21=24%

    I see only one bad shooting game which can happen, and like you said he didn't take a lot of bad shots, most of those shots were wide open or his signature shot, probably some tired legs since he's playing harder on both hands, something he's not that used to do tbh.

    His fg% in the series is 41% which is not that bad all things considered, he's probably just shooting too many 3s, more than 10 in 3 games, some of them were definitely with the shot clock going down etc... Curry is shooting 45% in the series and had two game shooting under 40%, he's also shooting only 32% from the 3pt line.

    Not that it matters at this point, but Westbrook got his ass kicked in the first round by the Jazz with homecourt advantage playing zero defense and shooting under 40% and NOBODY said a damn thing. Now Harden if he can't beat the Warriors without Paul, he's a chocker, lmao.

    I think people misunderstand, both Mobley & Cowherd are saying Harden HAS to work TOO HARD to get a shot. They are saying the team, coaches, everyone needs to help him get some easier looks. They are not saying anything negative or disrespectful.

    It’s kind of weird that harden gets help and it’s obvious he is because cp3 literally runs it half the time, so he shouldn’t be THAT tired......so the only thing I can think of is all this after game workouts he keeps doing.....

    Or all those though side step threes...?

    We don't want to open the game up, it's not that they can't do it, it's that they don't want to do it, because that works both ways, and speeds the game up and doing that benefits golden state. This is a head to head matchup, where we're using the best strategy we have for the opponent we're facing.

    We won the last game shooting 37/30 whilst Golden State shot 44/38, because we eat defensive boards and don't turn it over much.

    I don't get why so many people want us to suddenly change the system that won us 3 of 5 and 2 in a row against the next-best team in the league. It's not like we're behind and desperate.

    Play our game, play it well, play it with effort. We'll be fine. These chumps are simply NOT THAT GREAT this year.
