IT does seem like Harden is the main culprit, but the main offenders (Lin Harden) only have 1 TO while Chandler has 3.
Harden's problem is not his turnover. He lacks effort in defensive side. When we have 3.5 players play defense(Greg Smith always half step slow in his defense, I count him as half), you are a bad defensive team.
No it is not even remotely close to fair to say that. Unless that is you are just reading the boxscore.
Because Parson and Harden don't run screens for him. when they are not there, the other players run screens for him, resulting schooling Dragic easily.
What I don't get is why as soon as Harden comes in, Lin no longer gets screens set for him. I don't see why Harden being on the floor would effect this.
Harden has 1 turnover... The Rockets need to keep Dragic and Scola under control.. Will require entire team effort.
Let's just all blame the coach for not telling the guys what to do, how to play, and call it a day...lol.
Our defense goes down to dumpster when Harden is playing without Asik. Asik really covers up for Harden. I saw Harden didn't even box out properly on play that gave Suns an easy layup. Later, he was playing sideways to Wes. Johnson. LOL. I mean c'mon. That is why if he doesn't learn how to play defense and atleast be average than he will never be a superstar with MVP talks. Just pathetic.
Stfu. He is the tallest guy on our team guarding their tallest player. If he can't defend Scola he should just sit, which McHale is doing to him now, since he is garbage on offense anyways.
Yep. The thing for some around here is to just blame Harden for all of our defensive problems. Heck, just blame Harden period.
You can't play big against the Suns. The Rockets haven't figured this out yet. Even when their small lineup dominated Phoenix.
I am trying to think about the Rockets's defense (or lack of it) and images come to mind: swiss cheese, shower heads, just about anything with a lot of holes. No, seriously, who is accountable for this pathetic effort on defense? The coaches, the players? Who?
