    There was much more than 12 minutes for Harden...

    But nobody would watch a ridiculously long video.

    In before excuses are made as to why it's ok for Wade to play defense like that.

    Many of these possessions the other team wasn't even scoring on him.


    Would be a 4 hr video for Harden if they included everything like this video.

    Realistically, for those deflecting this, Harden had several instances of getting a contest in that video of his. But I know people like to put things like that to the side. "But they didn't score"....It's 12, 12! Minutes of bad defense in just 3 games of the most IMPORTANT series in the NBA. LOL who in their right mind would actually defend that?

    I guarantee more ROCKETS FANS are defending Wade than Heat fans.

    ESPNites.

    Not an excuse for either Wade or Harden, more of a cause and effect.

    It's obvious the bad defense from either Harden or Wade isn't because they're incapable, because both are very capable defenders, at a point Wade was even elite. It's just them giving up on defensive plays to conserve their energy, they're choosing to play that type of defense.

    Why are you assuming you're speaking to a Rockets fan.

    Agreed. There is just no comparison. Harden is way worse and every team in this league knows they can take advantage of his defense every time down the court.

    Harden's defense is awful and disappointing, but he's been crucified and it's been far too extreme.

    So Lebron is leaving that bum Wade to play with a good defensive SG in HOU.

    That's why Wade is being limited to 3 games (and this is from someone who played 50 games and isn't even the primary option). Lebron had 4 minutes from just 1 half of bad defense, people just don't seem to fathom how often these offensive players slack off on that end.

    This is pretty apparent for anybody who actually watched the video. It's not the same type of plays that Harden gets crucified for.

    Wade has always been an overrated defender. One of those guys who has bad fundamentals who makes people forget that due to the defensive stops he can make with his athletisicm.

    back door cuts, lazy close outs, drive bys gambling for steals and weak to non existent transition defense. It's the same plays
