Is Harden's bad D the latest meme for all people who don't know basketball to regurgitate? We all know he's not a good defender, but at least try to wait for a bad defensive play by him before you bring it up. He offers plenty of opportunities. He did nothing particularly wrong in that play with Hayward. He got blown by, which happens, then he fouled him on the ground which is exactly what he should do. The refs made up the continuation to make it an and-1.
This. Harden is the only one who can create some offense, but his defense is just flat out bad. Really missing those 2 tonight
So are the officials going to call an offensive foul on Howard from here on out every time someone who's guarding him falls down? Dwight Howard gets tagged with offensive foul by just backing down his man normally and his defender just falls backwards as if they were hit by a truck... The league needs to address this. They can't be calling an offensive foul on him every time someone next to him decides they want to fall down.
