Did Harden really play defense again, guessing from his quotes and the article by Feigen on the win he did and is finally understanding he needs to do it. You think he took Dwight's comments to heart? Let's hope so.
Was sitting near the Rockets bench tonight. Whole team seemed to get along except for D-Mo. He wasn't really talking to anyone. Cheer up D-Mo.
No wonder he stunk it up when he got on the court. Magic cut the lead significantly when he was in, getting to the rim at will. To be fair he is playing out of position.
A spark? A spark? We talkin bout sparks? He can't do it. He's good for gutsy offensive rebounds and spotting up. Remember earlier tonight he attempted to drive and, well, the ball wound up in the stands, lol.
He's too weak and poor at D to play center and he doesn't have a pf skill set, quality nba player right there.
Can't help but believe that a full healthy squad is going to make some noise. Sounds like a great way to start the new year.
Well backup off me about other stuff you read in another thread on a specific topic homie and we won't have that issue [/QUOTE] This had nothing to do with another thread. SMH I guess your feelings were hurt, get over it bruh. This was only about Harden solid defensive performance last night and how much better the team is when he plays defense.
I have been saying it all year, harden is an allright 1v1 defender, he gets lost when he makes decisions on the help defence or having to shadow his man if he's a shooter.
This is what you originally sent me Htownballer. You said, "THAT'S ALL I WAS TALKING ABOUT." And you are referring to the debate we had in the Harden vs PG thread were all you are talking about there is how PG is better. In that thread I did say Harden can play defense because I pointed out how he D'up Kobe and Manu in the playoffs and you laughed and called them old. Harden just shut down Klay (and Barnes when he was on him and also jumped out and covered Curry a lil) and Alfflao. That's two high powered offensive players that he D'up in back to back games and one of which is on a playoff team in the west. Harden also put up big time offensive performances in the process (dropping assist on the court so his teammates can eat on the offensive end as well). I brought it up because you carried a conversation from there to over here. Simple as that. No hard feelings at all homie...
