Tim Legler

No one has said that.

That's just my personal opinion.

If they lose tonight.

And he's really feeling really good.

Maybe you see him on Sunday so that series doesn't have a chance to get to 2-2.

But, you know, New York right now is playing, at least they were prior to this injury, they were playing the best version of themselves, which is all you can ask for if you want to be a contender.

I don't know why, because I've seen it enough throughout his career to think it's going to be different this time with James Harden.

You understand, by the time he's done, he's going to be only the second player in history with 30,000 points and 10,000 assists.

The only other guy is LeBron.

And yet, James Harden, for a guy that has accomplished that much, he seems unsure of himself.

And it seems like it happens almost every postseason.

It certainly looked that way in the first two games of this series, really badly last night when they were right there in a position to win.

And Donovan Mitchell looks incredibly frustrated because as he left the court, he had just this frustrated look on his face because I think he's thinking to himself, man, oh, man.

I need a lot more help from him because he's physically capable against this level defense, which Detroit is on that level with OKC.

They're big, they're physical, they hold, they grab.

It's just a war out there, every possession, and James Harden has the physical tools to play through that.

Not everybody does on that team.

He does, and yet...

He has another night where he has more turnovers than field goals made.

And we've talked a lot about that number of times that he's done that, which is incredible throughout his playoff career.
