    It's a decent attempt to have Pippen try to explain his defensive mindset on how he would guard Harden but he chooses this strategy of trying try and force Harden into a tougher shot in hopes that Pippen gets adequete help defense.

    I love Tmac's attempt to try to call out Harden's exploitation of his continuation into Harden's step back 3 as a travel. It's not like the NBA officials are missing the calls every night, they choose not to call it a travel consistently.

    The double step back is not a travel because harden doesn't touch the ball with his off hand until the first step back is completed. Old fatties are just unwilling to admit that NBA players have gotten better since they played.

    wow... T-Mac... this fool is hating on Harden hard...
    "his double step back 3, the league allows him to travel'
    i was a tmac fan but **** him for saying that... his one step back 3 got us further than you had ever got us in your entire Rockets tenure...
    And do they really watch the games?? Because all these idiots talk about is how Harden takes 30+ shots.

    The double step back IS a travel. I don't know why y'all are so salty or in denial about it. Jordan used to get away sliding his pivot foot constantly and everyone knew it was a travel. Who cares man...

    The double step back is a travel and the refs admit that it was a missed call. But Harden did it only ONCE and media keeps mentioning it like ALL his step backs are double step back. That is why we are salty.

    Geez Scotty... never thought about making him go right. That’s pretty insightful stuff from a legend.

    Also interesting that he doesn’t care about him getting to the rim or getting the lob. With Capela out that a strategy but with him healthy that’s a pretty stupid idea.

    Scottie couldn't guard Kobe. He also had problems guarding Iverson. No way he's giving tutorials on guarding James now

    To be fair, only T-Mac was bringing the hate. Scottie was basically saying Harden is unguardable one on one and that he would force him towards help and make him make tough shots.

    I dun even know why this would trigger anything.

    If it were Ryan Bowen, Jon Barry or another role player analyzing this and probably be critical of this, I dun think it would generate those negative comments.

    Just another analyst doing his work, may it be a mediocre job.

    I believe he actually mentioned that he would only play him like that because he's alone out there.

    Ol t-lady mad cause the city of Houston, Orlando, and Toronto has forgotten about his punk ass. Detroit and New York can have him.

    Mad cause all his franchise records are falling and hes getting shunned into even more obscurity.
