The Cleveland Cavaliers are wrestling with a James Harden conundrum. Can a team rely on a star whose effort wavers on both ends of the court? Harden may have shot well against the Hawks, but questions linger over his defensive intensity, tendency to stand upright and soft-switch, and minimal off-ball movement. Despite Harden’s reputation and past durability, his declining athleticism at 37 and high turnovers are pressing concerns for a roster desperate for playmaking.
As leads evaporate and backdoor lobs pile up, does Harden’s lack of urgency set the wrong tone for the locker room? The Cavaliers must find answers fast, or risk watching their season swing on the effort of one veteran star.
