But he constantly had a help defender looming a few feet in front in case he beat his man. If our wings can hit their open jumpers it'll force the help defenders to play closer to their man which will allow Harden a clearer lane to the hoop.
He's not playing that bad really.. his 3s are not falling at all which is the main reason his FG% has crashed.
I have Comcast and seen EVERY GAME every time he comes off a screen he is drawing 2 defenders and when he gets to the paint Memphis colaspsed every time
Spacing is bad, shooting is bad, coaching is worse. McHale should've never been hired. Fire him and let Finch give coaching this team a shot.
James Harden exposed Looks like James Harden is Joe Johnson 2.0, Expect Rockets game to be ugly the next few years with Harden chucking and Lin playing only in the 4th quarter
That's what separate a MAX player from the ordinary MLE type correct? They find a way regardless which makes them "spectacular".
players are always lurking to steal your ball, not just ur man. this is nba defense, DEFENSE, nothing special.
LMAO. HE PLAYED 5 GAMES, 2 OF WHICH WERE RECORD SHATTERING. Relax people, if our wings can hit their damn open jumpshots it'll force the opponent's help defender to guard em' closer, which will give Harden an open lane to the hoop. Right now there's a second man playing in front of Harden to cut off the lane to the basket, which is why he isn't getting to the line or scoring easy layups. It's because guys like Morris and Parsons have been clanking open jumpers off the back iron.
Harden's problem is that he has lost his spark after playing for what he probably knows is an incompetent coach in McFail. Also though, he has forgotten about his midrange game and only shoots 3s or drives to the basket in traffic. He needs to pull up more for the 12 footer and make the defense respect his full game.
James Harden usually money when he shoot. He's been missing lately, not sure what the deal is. The first 2 games as a Rockets, he was the James Harden every known for and the next 3, he ain't the same. That's why Rockets lost. He turnover way too much and yet nobody talk about it. If it's Lin, everyone will talk about it.
Harden gets doubled as soon as he touches the ball, it's not help defense. You guys are talking about help defense. Harden literally gets doubled. I have the quote from George Karl to prove it. The Grizz did pretty much the same thing. That's not all either, he's also just missing some of those same shots he made in the first two games.
Not at all. He is going to be a stud. I am more concerned about Lin's softness. I am the MOST concerned about Kevin McHale as a coach.
LOL. He just faced 2 of the BEST defenders in the league in 2 consecutive games. People, be realistic. He's definitely sucking but he'll get it together.
in the game, the memphis players were cheating off parsons, morris, patterson and even lin..that means that harden will have no space in the lane to penetrate
