Harden on settling down after getting 5 TOs in first half + 3 minutes into the second.

"I was getting a little bit too passive, and that was causing turnovers," Harden said. "Just trying to be too unselfish instead of looking for my shots. I tried to do that in the second half and made some shots.

"They are a really good defensive team when we stand still. When we moved the ball, attacked the paint and kicked out, we shot layups and open 3s."

He certainly does force the issue a lot, plus lazy passes, plus his inexplicable falling down/stripped on ISOs (which didn't happen much last year). Fockass, be aggressive and let the game come to you, as well.

Seems he recognizes his own foibles, so hopefully he will stop being so passive and slow to make decision. We do much better with quicker movement on offense.

^^^ Thanks @ Sizzle

Thorpe: If he can just learn to be a little more consistent as a "we" guy instead of a "me" guy, he is headed for top-six status. James Harden has the talent, but his penchant for being too concerned about his numbers causes him to bring no energy to too many defensive possessions, or to not move the ball away from the crowd headed his way. The future for him is still unwritten -- he has the power to improv

This is exactly what I and many others have been saying and media is recognizing it too now.

Basically he is selfish + he is garbage on defense and that will always hold him back.
