    James Harden has done more in 1 season getting passed the 1st Round this Season alone, than Tracy McGrady Whole Career.

    Piggybacking on the Spurs to the Finals loss doesn't count. I enjoyed the Finals loss, Tracy was all smiles on the bench, The Heat, I believe came back, your old friend Shane Battier accomplished a Championships more than Tracy.

    This is kind of like the CNBC reporters who talk about stocks but literally know nothing about the stocks they're talking about. Yeah, this reminds of that.

    Tmac sucks, but maybe people would rather hear Jordan, Kobe, Durant, curry, Ray Allen, pierce, bird, say the same thing..

    Teach should have driven the ball more in his sad career instead of being a soft jump shooter

    I agree with T-Mac. Harden gotta shoot more than one mid range jumper.

    Harden had his best offensive playoff run, shooting contested stepback mid-range shots in 2015. Against an even better Warriors defense no less.

    Morey needs to get the hell out coaching. Let D'Antoni coach.

    No joke. Look at how we're being defended. The midrange is wide open. Paul is exploiting it often, Harden sometimes. And we'll see more and more of it, because that's a logical counter to the defenses we're facing.

    But ... it wouldn't be open if we weren't killing people with 3's and layups and lobs.

    Aren't nearly all of the players who have been consistently efficient at making mid range shots been elite level players? As in at least All-NBA level or better?

    He made the NBA finals and was a ray allen heartbreaker away from becoming a champion.

    1. Undercut his legs, Butt check him, use your hands to touch the shooters hand, on 3 point shots, Referees will never call a foul, Flagrant Foul 1 or 2 never exists, the Warriors are all Angels, they can Curse and obscene with the Referees at all times no problem, Adam Silver is still waiting for Warriors Owner Luxury Tax Check from Joe Lacob, Adam can't wait to be paid, Scott Foster and Zach Zarba are waiting on their checks too.

    2. Open midrange

    3. Clog the paint,Referees won't call illegal 3 violation

    I agree. I little change up here and there to keep GS on their toes wouldn't hurt. Harden needs to dust off some of his old moves

    I get all the t-mac jokes about the first round and what have you but if we ain’t careful harden will end up with as many rings as
    t-mac hope not tho.

    On a serious note he’s right tho.

    Listen to T-Mac! Dude is a proven winner. Didn't he take the Spurs deep into the playoffs one year?
