    Harden's a natural scorer so him getting points is not the problem. It's the turnovers & defensive laps

    His off ball failures are due to him not wanting to move his feet when the ball isn in his hand just like how on offense when the ball isn't in his hand he just stands 5 feet behind the three point line doing nothing.

    Dude, the Rox’s defense is all about switch.

    What the fork you are talking about, Capela always guard everyone because the other team force him to do so.

    Ennis is so garbage, I question if he's even remotely close to Luc at this point.

    He as extremely not comfortable with the catch and shoot role and he doesn’t drive either and so afraid to shoot twos.

    Tucker and Melo should both start.

    Starting has to be Cap-Tucker-Harden-Gordon-CP and Melo/Green can come off the bench and provide the spark off the bench.

    Ennis has been a liability on offense and cant start if he keeps this up.

    Melo and Harden together are too much of liability on defense to start together.

    Gordon provides a good balance on offense and defense and spaces the floor the best for CP and Harden.

    I know it's not the new rule. My point is the new rule should be very advantageous for Harden but he looks like he's moving in molasses. That said, he put up like 24 so I'll quit complaining.

    Harden unstoppable on offense right now but he had two off the ball brain fades on defense. Overall he has been great. Paul doing his thing on offense and Clint looks better.

    MCW and Ennis look awfully poor

    If you had been watching the same game you would have noticed that he has missed a lot of blocks this game at the rim because his timing has been poor. Nothing to do with switches on those plays.
