7 years agoHouston Rockets guard James Harden hopes for his shot to start falling in the Western Conference Finals after shooting just 40.4% in the second round against the Utah Jazz. Harden will be eager to get to his first-ever NBA finals but the Golden State Warriors will do all they can to slow down the heavy usage rate (37% in the postseason) Harden with putting a longer Klay Thompson on him the majority of the minutes. Harden may want to be avoided early on in this series as he has been struggling and Coach Steve Kerr's defensive tactics will be in full force against the superstar.--Gianni Costantiello
