Can James Harden raise his game in the playoffs? Or is he just made for the regular season?

I wish there was a decades worth of sample size to determine this. Until then, inconclusive.

Haha, so that's a pretty enthusiastic vote for NO.

Can OP raise his legs? Cause he’s starting to give me “wheels” vibes


Don’t go the Simon aka simone route op.

His game is tailor made for the regular season, in the playoffs less touch fouls are called, thus Harden's ability to draw fouls is greatly reduced.

His game is predicated on getting Embiid open. When Embiid is off the floor he's terrible.

Harden is a liability primarily when he's not paired with Embiid. Maxey is a way better scorer at this point although does not execute the pick and roll as well. Harden also is prone to turnover the all in tight games but forcing the drive. I say if we lose its mostly on the dumb play of Harden, but Harris and Milton (Shake) could be just as bad.

One way or another it is going to be an extremely interesting and telling playoffs.

My hopes high are but my expectations are very low.

I would say can he maintain his game going into the playoffs.
His history shows CHOKE.
