This is a huge game for both teams/franchises..Two games ago McHale took Harden off the ball because he wanted the other players to get their game going..I'm thinking McHale thinks he can't win a Championship with just Harden going for his...It's interesting because Harden does pass the ball but it is almost impossible for another player to get hot and take over when he is in the game because he doesn't come up court looking for u...Harden needs the ball in his hands to be effective..But if he has the ball no one else gets going..DHow and Josh Smith gets going when Harden is on the bench..Should they lose, what does this mean for Houston??

Clippers folded like a cheap tent..If they lose they can't trade CP3 or Blake...But they will need help..Interesting game coming up...

while this may be partly true about Harden, this can be set about a number of star players that don't look for their teammates and look to score too much (like our leader).

At least Harden does pass the ball sometimes.

Everyone can improve their game.

I wish we had that problem where some else could go off...

me too and we probably will not find out since they rarely get the ball.

the knicks have had a weak supporting cast but chucking doesn't help anyone and it certainly won't make or help players play better.

when the ball sticks everyone loses.
