Lol half serious and half trolling...but in all seriousness, TMAC played D and showed up on offense when it counted, not saying James can't, but just hasn't shown that quite yet on the offensive side. Yao wasn't a bad defender.

Really? Because the first difference that came to my mind was that Harden and Howard are not made of glass.

TMac was very good defensively under JVG and adequate that first Adelman year. The 08-09 year he was done both offensively and defensively. Great tragedy that Yao/Tmac couldn't stay healthy.
Harden can't dance! No wonder he can't play defense. What the hell is Terry doing? He's about to make it rain for Pat Beverly? Cisco el pana! He even has them eating rice, beans, and yucca. They're just missing glasses filled with scotch.
