    Why anyone need PBev for this? It’s not a secret. It isn’t about how you guard him... it’s about being able to do it and doing it.

    If Jazz our Crowder in Harden for much of the game... checkmate.

    Harden struggles with wings with length and athleticism. Crowder is more of Harden like defender - size. He doesn’t blow me away with any ability to move laterally or contest vertically.

    I’d be more concerned about them adopting a Bucks-esque scheme.

    shrug, Crowder already has a lot of experience guarding someone like Harden

    Am I supposed to be worried that Crowder will get some sort of epiphany now?

    Crowder’s about to get cooked

    The Beard is not really guardable right now, but the real questions are what the rest of the roster does and what Mike Dan Tony can do in adding a few wrinkles (if any, sigh).

    Don't really see any need for Bev to do this. Crwoder/Jazz played up last year in the playoffs and 4 times already this year. What NEW strategy could Bev possibly be showing him lol?

    Stay petty Bev.

    I am more concerned about double teams than what the Bucks do. They will try all schemes on Harden even in a single game to throw him off. It worked for OKC last game.

    1.) Double teams to force a pass on a pick and roll
    2.) Ball pressure full court
    3.) Deny or make him work for the ball
    4.) Take away his left side and funnel to the right with a big man low
    5.) Triple team
    6.) Take away his the 3 pointer and step back by staying ridiculously close to him

    I am more concerned about double teams where Harden has to pass to Tucker or Clint at the top of the key after a pick and roll.

    This Utah series will be a good test for the GSW series and I hope we have learned from the OKC game on how to manage our issues with varying defenses and a tired out Harden.

    Like a 30 second lesson is gonna do it. The top defenders in this league have studied hours upon hours of tape on Harden and still get 30 or 40 dropped on them. LOL

    Bev doesn't want Harden to foul him out by halftime of every game on the off chance that the Warriors die in a plane crash and the Clippers advance. That's what this is really about.

    From my lip reading analysis - Pbev was stating , you got to foul him or just runaway. Runaway man!! Can’t stop him, that’s it!

    It’s because he knows that once clippers beat GSW, they will have to face rockets or jazz. He wants it to be the jazz so they could have an all-time low rating for the second round series

    Bev needs to be worrying about Curry, not Harden.
