    I never said Beverly is an all star defender but he is way better than you are giving credit. what makes him so effective is his ability to irritate the opposing guard by being a pest on a regular basis. And as far as the Russel thing goes We will see;)

    haha, that could actually be a good matchup. Westbrook gets irritated pretty easily and Beverley is the perfect 'pest' defender.

    And I wasn't aiming that post directly at you, but just the board in general.

    Exactly. People hear at Clutchfans, myself included, don't see 1/10 of what Nick sees in a game. We do have a couple of people that can really break down a game, but that's about it.

    I love these videos, and it gives me hope for the future. Many of the mistakes he talks about comes from us being a very young team, so we should improve as our players gain experience.

    He talked a lot about Parsons, Lin, and Harden and I'm glad he did. You can see why Parsons was inserted into the starting lineup so quickly last year, he's just a smart player. Parsons is still learning himself, but he seems to know how to play.

    Lin does make a lot of mistakes, but I think it is just from lack of experience. I think Lin will improve a lot over the next couple of years. And I don't have any problems with the minutes he gets.

    I am most frustrated with Harden. Sometimes on defense he looks confused and other time he just looks lazy. This is troubling to me because Harden is the star of our team and our other players look to him for leadership. If our leader is playing lazy or makes a lot of mental mistakes, it sets a bad example for the rest of the team. I don't ever think this team will play to its full potential until Harden can hustle and play smart basketball.

    Over the past couple of weeks it seems we have seen the Rockets defensive intensity improve. I think this is a good sign and I hope it continues. If we can see some real improvement on defense next year, then this team could really take off.

    I think the players and the coaches have done a remarkable job this year, and I'm already looking forward to next year.

    How many easy Buckets would Harden get if he would move off the ball!?

    Based on the video I got three things: 1. Coaching is bad. 2. Harden didn't seem like he wanted the game bad enough. 3. Harden needs to stop looking for the foul.
