Kawhi looks like Raptors Kawhi which is scary for the rest of the league. So far I was wrong about Harden. After a few bumps when they first got him, he's fit in pretty good. If they can stay healthy, they will be a factor.
Yeah, their box score last night looked amazing with 4 of their 5 starters putting up huge numbers. They are really rolling right now.
Whatever they do though now, it not really important (besides not getting in the play-in). They need to do it in the playoffs. Can they stay healthy? And can Harden play to his talent level in the playoffs.
As for Harden, he is playing well. If he is hitting those threes, there is not much you can do. I think though, you have to contest his threes and not put him on the line. Force him to drive and finish at the rim. He doesn't feel comfortable doing this. You just can't fall for his tricks and put him on the lane. If he drives, play the pass and contest the shot in the paint.
