You need to go back and watch the tape then. You don't have to go back far to see that he has been fronting players, making entries passes tougher, and contesting numerous shots per game.
DD let's his emotions blind him, at least from his posts I've read. He's a diehard Rocket fan that likes to argue with other Rocket fans.
Personally, I think we are going to make a big push for Love. Don't know that it will every become public, but I wouldn't be surprised if we offered DMo, NOP 1st, and expirings for him.
It's an accurate statement. Our extraordinary grace this year with all the injuries has been that Harden hasn't been one of them. He's been more key than ever to us winning games. It's amazing to see how much he's stepped up as a team leader and more mature player this year, but the downside is that without him, we're like OKC without Durant and Westbrook in this conference now.
Why? We could have had both Parsons and Ariza. Hell, we could (trading Terry or Papa instead of using the Lin TPE) still have Brewer, too, if we wanted. So, at most, we wouldn't have Shved and Brewer or just not Shved.
Yeah, if Dwight would play hard every night, no worries, but it is disengenious to say he does, and to cherry pick one game when he has been coasting pretty much for weeks. DD
I know he coasts but even when he's coasting he still does a better job on defense and rebounds than DMo ever has. And yes the coasting does suck, but houston is pretty much stuck with him. So we'll see if he shows up later in season/playoffs. And no, a bench PF from Toronto would make Houston even worse, it's like saying you want to trade Harden for Love or anything less than Durant/LeBron.
