James Harden is an offensive superstar while Kawhi and PG are known for 2-way/defense, so why is James Harden taking so few shots? (alien.top)

It makes no sense. They should be a perfect fit since Kawhi and PG cover up James Harden's weak defensive effort, and should have more energy to do so since James Harden has such insane offensive value.

So why are the Clippers playing Harden as a 6 FGA guy while Westbrook takes 11, PG takes 12, and Kawhi takes 15?

James Harden is shooting at 75% TS with the Clippers across 3 games. They need to actually use him for what he's good at.

It feels like either the team, Harden, or both are in this weird limbo where they're afraid to just let him play ball.

I assume you haven’t watched the clippers right? I saw them when they played my nets. This man harden had like 4 O P E N 3pt shots, he would rather let a defender come so he can dribble dribble drible step back orrr throw it to the broadcasters then fuckn shoot the ball. If he can’t be a spot up shooter this sht ain’t gonna work. You have to adjust if not the game says bye bye.
