Not blame the coach and external factors. Take ownership and not throw others under the bus. Literally says alot about his character.

Give the politically correct interview answer
“James may not have had as many shots as usual, but he took good ones and unfortunately tonight they weren’t falling for him, but he’s such a good offensive player we know we he will make them in next game. We have to get better as a team to help create easier shooting opportunities for him…. Blah blah blah etc etc etc.”
It’s the exact same reason Ben dipped. Embiid and Doc left him high and dry in the post game press conferences instead of positive reinforcement. Yes Harden (and Simmons) has been absolutely WOEFUL at moments, and they Doc and Embiid were not incorrect when they’ve said the things they’ve said, but take some leadership and get your teammates back!!! Don’t hang them out to dry in front of the media - who they will know will absolute run with it.

To be fair, what's he supposed to say?
He's tired of these guards that he has had hiding in big games, while he's out there doing everything he can to carry the team with a torn ligament in his thumb. First Simmons afraid to shoot, now Harden with only 11 FGA. Just crazy...
If Harden doesn't show up in game 6 and they lose he's getting jumped
