He is currently leading the league in points given up on turnovers with 19.1 PPG according to nba.com.

And they’re shocking turnovers to be honest. Like one of the greater shot creators in the league and just mishandles the ball so often. It’s weird. That game 1 was rough. Mitchell just needed a little more help

The turnovers are age related decline imo. He’s not as elusive on ball as he used to be, so he wastes a lot of energy protecting the ball when he dribbles up the court.

If I were Kenny Atkinson, I’d let Donovan or Dennis dribble the ball up the court and then they can give it to Harden to orchestrate the offense in the half court.

Their offense looked at its best against Toronto when they did that in game 5.

That’s what the Clippers did, they’d run Harden offense through an off ball screen/DHO from a Kris Dunn or DJJ.

Him losing the ball on a fast break against Duncan Robinson was so absurd. Prime Harden would’ve cooked Duncan, but he looked rough last night handling the ball.

I mean he did cook Duncan in the half court in the 4th lol. He had 13 on him

Mitchell needed more help..? From Harden? I tuned into the game and Harden was the only one doing anything in the fourth. He even brought them within one or two possessions of taking the lead. He did more across the board than Mitchell and thats with him shooting terribly. For being the franchise players, Mitchell and Mobley looked about as average as it gets in the clutch today.

Harden is a 36 year old mid season acquisition lol. Where are their star players? Luke Kennard could have given you the same performance Mitchell put up today.

Mitchell’s 36 points were almost all self created Kennard def could not have.

I agree his age might be the reason. He likely expects his body to be where the ball is a lot and is a few steps slower while handling. I’ve seen too loose a handle to take care of the ball, aka Cade, but I dunno if I’ve seen such sloppy handling from a guy asked to shot create before ever. It was really bad

What the fuck?? They’re scoring 19.1ppg of his 5.5 turnovers? seems impossible, no?

yeah not sure i trust that.

~3.5 expected points per turnover? extremely implausible

Guessing it counts all points Cavs give up off of turnovers while he’s on the floor even if they’re not his turnovers

The only way this statistic is correct is if every single Harden turnover results in and a foul on a 3 pointer that the shooter made.

How are we posting stuff like this that is completely illogical?

It still is Cade. No idea why OP couldn’t do the bare minimum fact checking before posting. Cade has been leading the league in turnovers for most of this postseason

The fact it’s not Cade is a really bad look for Harden because anytime I tune in to a Pistons game Cade can’t keep possession. Harden must be assss

I think people are missing the point massively, the Cavs were within touching distance going into the 4th - Harden had no turnovers in that quarter and scored the most in his team. I wouldnt exactly call that shitting the bed, the game was level with 5 mins left.

Was it vintage, no. Did he have a lot of turnovers, yes. He did turn up in the 4th quarter and had little support.

Did he have more turnovers than field goals, yes.

James Harden was 43 turnovers these playoffs already, leading all players. He is currently averaging 5.4 turnovers and 6.2 assists in the playoffs
