Love the game but once again we almost lost with harden iso at the end. Is this really our best option, especially against elite defenses? Why suddenly throw out what built you the lead to begin with---motion, plenty of touches and cuts---in the last 2 minutes?

Harden doesn't play for our team tho. He plays for the rockets.
New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

Isos give you better clock management which is important in the last 2 mins

I don't see how you could have watched a single game this season and make that comment. He controls the ball when he has to, but what this guy is doing to create this free-flowing offense has been wonderful to behold.

Yeah guys, the 3rd best record in the West, 5th best SRS, and 7th best net rating are all just a coincidence!
