    But if you don’t think his defense has been embarrassing this series then I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not gonna let my obsession with our squad keep me from being honest about what my own two eyes are seeing...

    his offense hasn;t been good either, and to be honest that is what im more concerned about. he isnt playing like the MVP. he keeps slowing the game down and isn't doing a good job creating for others.

    Not a star on level like Correa. Not a star on level of Watt, or Watson.

    Harden is never a good defender, but comparing to last year, he's been doing a bit better..

    Some people man ....

    How can you call yourself a rockets fan if you bash our players at the first chance ?

    If you only support a team if they win a chip ... then that's not being a fan . It's being a front running little b****

    He’s improved a lot... this isn’t lack of ability it’s lack of effort

    See now I’m a b****.. but I’ve been saying this. When whoever it was said he should be considered on the all defensive team I laughed. I’m just as much of a fan as y’all

    For the Rockets to win, Harden had to play his most complete game on offense and defense. Too many times he has looked like it isn't important..

    There's no rule saying you can't criticize your own players just because you a fan of them. Know when to criticize, know when to praise.

    He’s not a good perimeter defender, and the Warriors have superb guards/wings. This shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.

    He relies on his teammates to have his back on the inevitable blow bys, and the way the Warriors space the floor we often don’t have defenders in position to provide that help.

    You've been saying this ?

    Why didn't you make this thread after game 2 ?

    Try to have some restraint and not post 30 seconds after James gets crossed .

    Everyone gets crossed . Everyone that tries to play defense gets dunked on too .

    There is nothing wrong with calling it like you see it.

    If a player is great, say it, if he sucks, say it.

    I disagree. When Harden plays defense, it sparks this team more than his offense IMO. I'm not saying his offense isn't important, just that when his teammates see him play defense, everything changes..
