Hardwood Paroxysm is killing Harden on Twitter, right now, about his defense and effort...not saying they're wrong, but it's going to really set things off against him going forward. Again... He just threw away all the work put in last year and is back to being seen as complete joke in the NBA.
Wait until bballbreakdown does a Breakdown of the Rockets soon. He also picked us to win the championship. If Harden needs to be ashamed and made fun of to give a basic effort in defence so be it. He deserves every bit of critisism as far I am concerned.
The clips they've shown aren't as bad as I thought they would be. I mean, yeah, he has been bad; he looks like he doesn't care and/or is too tired. But in that way he looks like most of the rest of the team.

I'm not worried about making the playoffs. West is sneaky weak bellow top 5 this year. We gonna make it even on 3rd gear.

I dont know...not knowing you're suppose to stay at an angle that keeps you between the ball and the basket? That's practically middle school stuff. Definitely high school. And they haven't even posted a play against Denver..where Denver stole it and was on a 2 on 2 break, but Harden, the leading defender, decided to stop and try to poke the ball from behind, turning it into a 2 on 1 for denver. ALLEY OOP.
http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=269989 Cant wait for the MORONIC sydeffect to show his face and deny that Haren is back in full effect for the 14-15 season. khloe still got the d and wont give it back.
He deserves the ridicule. You know it's bad when you're watching it live, but the clips HP is posting in isolation -- it's sooooooooo bad.
Harden deserves all the criticism he's getting atm. The team has all kinds of issues and he's one of the biggest problems. It's disappointing he can't be a better leader. I've lost respect for him I can tell you that. Can't get with a player who doesn't hustle on a consistent basis. You can't just quit when your shot isn't falling. That's wussified.
James Haren was back since the 2nd half of last season. Every playoff team abused him, especially GSW. His D is more scrutinized again because he's not putting up Lebron numbers and the Rockets aren't doing so hot.
Harden got fat and happy with all that money and Khloe K. What happened to pissed off Harden tearing down curtains and claims about being the best? Now its all. "We will get it together eventually."

He made a point earlier that Harden after lossing a shot instead of running in defence he seems disinterested. Showing missed rotations is not that easily or eye popping to show in a short gif. If someone makes a good breakdown you will see in detail all his errors.
Yeah, but the internet plays a huge role on perception..they had laid off of him for the most part, as the season went on last year...but now it's going to blow up, again.
