    the question is (1) how many games did they lose because his lack of defense

    (2) how many games did they lose because his lack of offense (because he jacked up too many shots when he was cold).

    compare those 2 results.

    Looks like this video is already triggering the media scrutiny. Dwight was a pretty great teammate with his response on the subject:

    This is how players like Fornier, Foye and Brewer and countless others got their career highs, all on Harden

    So that's what this is about.

    Every thread is about Lin, one way or another.

    Harden has never been a weak position on the defensive end in the playoffs so I can care less about his defense in the regular season.

    Basketball has always been about the buckets.

    Lin is not a top 5 scorer, or the most clutch player in the NBA.

    If the playoffs and this video can't motivate Harden, then I don't know what can.

    What are you talking about by motivate...???

    How do you think the Rockets got to be the 4th seed in the playoffs in the west. I guess you think Harden was out there sleep walking and Lin and Chandler carried the team all during the regular season.

    Maybe we just need to accept that Harden will never play defense.

    I know it's only half time but the collection of ppl saying Harden can turn the switch on for the playoffs is looking pretty foolish.

    I got a feeling this bullshyt thread does nothing but help the Portland Trailblazers. It only serves to harm the Houston Rockets.

    roflmcwaffles, why the hell you bring this up during the Playoffs? You could have done this during the regular season. This will do nothing but help Portland strategize how to beat the Rockets. You're an idiot if you think you're a true Rockets fan.
