    I love it. I don't get the criticism and backhanded compliments Harden often gets. This is beautiful basketball. Nice find, OP.

    Love Coach Nick. Best I've found on YouTube for NBA breakdown.

    I do find it funny he keeps saying in this vid "so and so didn't provide help quick enough." Funny thing is that they were told not to by Stotts. This game is a perfect example of Pick Your Poison strategies being adjusted to in the same game by the new fire power we have to roll out....and Harden's own improvement from last year.

    Video titled "How James Harden is breaking the NBA."

    Video should be titled "Look! POR's defense is trash."

    Honestly their defense wasn’t THAT bad. Other than Lillard, they were guarding him hard and the effort was there. Also the Blazers made a decision to not help defend and leave the outside shooters open.

    Portland's defense was 4th in the NBA. Then they played the Rockets; now they're 6th.

    A lot of the video was about poor defensive mechanics; Nick picked on Vonleh, Leonard and Lillard. Buuut I supposed Harden makes almost everyone look foolish.

    harden was causing/forcing them to make those defensive mistakes and decisively capitalizes/exploits those mistakes

    really only way to stop harden is

    1. double/triple team him
    2. wait til he gets tired or rests
    3. foul him

    with cp3 around they're just pretty much left with #3
