    I can't find it online anywhere, though there are dozens of similar montages on YouTube.

    Last season he vowed to clean up his defensive woes and he did a good job for the most part. For a large portion of the season he was at least an average defender, on top of his MVP offense.

    He's WORSE than he was in his first season. I've never seen anything like this before. Someone with the capabilities MUST make another montage of the first 10 games and make that **** go viral because this is despicable.

    This dude should be ashamed of being an NBA player. His effort level is that bad. He has disgraced Houston with his play this year.

    Harden cared about it. That must have been embarrassing as hell because that video was being talked about by every major sports reporter and was even on Yahoo. Harden played pretty good defense last year. Let's humiliate him again.

    You honestly believe a YouTube video is the reason for his improved defense? You cannot be serious. He worked under real coaches (Coach K, Thibs) for over a month that's all there is to it.

    How the hell is Harden even considered an above average player anymore? He's so bad at finishing at the rim. He drives at the rim in straight line hooking defender's arms and flailing like a madman. He either gets his **** blocked, turns it over, gets called for an offensive foul or bricks the shot. He has zero finesse but he also lacks the heart and grit that hustles people have...so what is he?

    why is curry's defense never talked about, he doesnt even guard the likes of ish smith, klay thompson, draymon, or iggy guards those guys... klay thompson guarded rondo when rondo was destroying stephanie on both ends of the court..

    im telling you its that magical "golden" skin curry has, he is immune to criticism from the media. He can walk on water

    I am spamming same crap in every thread now, because I see how you're blaming everyone, when you should blame just one guy - james harden. If you don't know why James Harden is the biggest problem - go rewatch the game and follow Harden entire time. He does NOTHING useful when on the court. Last on offense, last on defense. Doesn't box out. Doesn't hustle. Doesn't make the open shot. Doesn't create. Turns over the ball. Has a cancerous attitude and destroys team's chemistry. We were winning double digits when he was off the court

    Add that guy to Ignore list. All his posts are about ****ting on our best player Howard and praising our cancer - harden. He has nothing objective to say. Ever

    This guy is mentally soft. Chickens out a the first sign of adversity

    The dude was b****ing all off season about Curry winning MVP and was more interested in his marketing brand and Khloe

    I called Curry a better player last season and homers here went berserk. Gap has only got bigger

    But according to guys like Jordnn and J Sizzle Harden worked hard all off season and was a gym rat

    He needs a coach who won't tolerate his nonsense and hold him accountable with tough love. Lots f maturing to do

    Harden really regressed. Does the guy have no pride? What did he do this off season?
