    Sampson is a true coach. He should be in charge of running the team.

    I've seen chandler play glorious D on Durant,
    I've seen harden play glorious D on Kobe,
    I've seen Lin play glorious D on Dwill

    It's just about them doing it more consistently(duh) and having dwight and asik is going to make them look like better defenders already.

    chandler, less sex before games so he won't be tired on D.

    harden, less burgers before games so he can D up.

    Lin, better posture than Stimpy so he can d up.

    Should have asked Sampson how it felt to be snubbed by the 16(?) teams hiring new head coaches :p.

    (Naturally,) I skimmed the article for Jeremy mentioning. I approve this article LOL...:grin:

    As for Harden's defense, I think last season McHale said something like since Harden was asked to do so much on offense he's given a free pass to do less on defense. I think it will change in the upcoming season as more players can share the offensive load. Harden has played defense before and will play defense if the coaches tell him to.

    He acutally said Parsons needs to be a two-way player first. He put Parsons and Harden in the same category.

    The so-called LOFs is part of the problem. And people like you who would not waste any chance to revive the long-dead debates in order to agitate and flame the other side is the other part of the problem.

    You people are all malicious to this forum.

    I suspect he meant a different two-way style.

    Always good to hear from Kelvin Sampson. So glad he is still with the Rockets.

    That's the thing with the defense, the whole team needs to defend. one hole and the wall collapses.

    Great read. I'll be interested to see this new funneling defensive scheme. I'm guessing they'll be able to do it all game now with foul trouble not being an issue. Howard/Asik/Camby can all defend the rim well when fouls are not an issue.

    Chandler has definitely played on both ends of the floor,no matter what Sampson says. He needs to be consistent at it.
    He had to pick up on offense too, because of the absence of scoring from the 4 spot.
