Getting major Deron Williams vibes from Harden at this point. The biggest dropoff in Deron's play happened when he stopped being aggressive and became a passive little bitch on the PnR, when he would IMMEDIATELY pick up his dribble and just look for the pass instead of probing.
They're trapping Harden on the PnR, but not all the time, but it's like he's expecting it and he immediately picks up his dribble and looks to pass it off, instead of keeping the dribble alive and continuing to probe.
He also generally moves like molasses and we routinely don't get a shot off until there's less than 5 seconds on the clock and we have to take a desperation heave.
IDK man, his game is not pleasant to watch, even when he's playing well. It's just awful basketball that works because of his talent...but when it doesn't work, like now, it's infuriating.
