He is showing the Harden that we will see in the playoffs. Very impressed right now as he is showing he can play both sides of the ball when he wants too.
harden is a quality defender, anyone who'd seen him play at okc, or even when we played miami in miami knows that. Actually putting in the effort thru the regular season, whole different story.
Idk if someone posted it here but HE REALLY CAN play defense. it's just he doesn't want too.. I think.. xD <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/63TDVWnZ5K8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
very small sample & a lot of wishful thinking on your part that he will play D i the post season. I have my doubts. LOL color me a little skeptical.
Because over the majority of the season he has shown that he doesn't really care about that end. I think it is a little to hopeful of us to think that he will all of a sudden pick it up on that end in the post season. Hardens issue on D goes down to effort & fundamentals. He needs to learn the fundamentals & give consistent reps on the effort side. He won't just magically turn that up in the post season doesn't work like that.. Just my 2 cents. If I am wrong I will gladly eat crow. And frankly I don't really care that much if he doesn't play D there are a lot more things that I am worried about. Just want the rockets to get as much post season experience as possible, we aren't making it past the first round.
