Harden Throwing Fullcourt Passes into Double Coverage

Giving up a turnover for a play that's extremely unlikely to succeed is the definition of low reward, high risk.

 

Those cross-court jump passess that are usually intercepted are like 3/15 attempted assist ratio, I can live with that gamble as long as the rest look like this:

 

harden needs to serious cut down his careless passes and turnovers, his turnover has reached almost 6 per game, that's unacceptable, if this team wants to compete for deep playoff run, he can not average more than 5 turnovers a game, this has become more and more ridiculous under Mike D's watch, did they just tell harden go do your stuff, don't worry about turnovers..... someone serious has to tell him, you are making way too many turnovers, if you ever wants to be a good point guard, you have to cut them down, knowing when to take chances and when to play safe is the basic quality of a point guard, you can't throw passes whenever you want to and not even giving attention to where the defense is and what the game situation is

 

It's true it's probably a better kind of turnover and often an automatic 2, but it's still a negative when it doesn't connect

 

You never blame or call out your superstar players for trying to make a play for the team. You never want them to stop being a "superstar." You live with the few mistakes (credit the opponent) because most of the time it will be amazing.

 

Harden watching too many Brock Osweiler games...

 

Nah. The receivers just didn't run the right routes. Harden was throwing for a button hook but they ran a post instead.

 

Picking up the dribble too much, unnecessary.
