Did Harden play defense again *not* and let a player have a career night?

 

I left when there was 5:25 mins left and we were 7 points down, so I am surprised that we pulled it off. There are a lot of problems on defense though, and when our shooting percentage goes down we get in a lot of trouble.
Let's hope for a better overall performance against OKC.

 

Great comeback win!

Jones is fun to watch. We're seeing the real deal with him.

Dmo, stay at it!

 

1) Gordon has been really good as of late, especially from the 3. Yes he had one of his best games of his career, but a good number of his 3's came from poor transition defense, IMO, not Harden's 1 on 1 D.

2) Parsons, IIRC, was guarding him at least 1/3 of the time. Gordon was just in the zone, especially from deep.

 

can anyone tell me is lin still top for drives ppg? in the past 2 games he has been getting to the rim like crazy, what are his stats now
?

 

DMO was big off the bench. Credit to him

He needs more playign time now

 

The Heat lost to the Wizards in a blow out fashion, so by your theory they are not contenders. Bwhahaha

 

our bench sucks

 

Some 3's were from offensive rebounds.

 

You know that Harden wasn't guarding him all the time, right?

 

I'm the biggest hater of Harden's defense but this comment is just not true. Gordon goes off on anybody. He is streaky and when he is on, nobody can guard him. I'm not a big fan of those types of players, they are bad for the heart and soul.

 

Different. Heat can turn it on and turn it off. They play without motivation right now.

 

Bev will be back soon, thus Lin gets sent back to the bench where he will avg. 17ppg

 

Yup, we are definitely not the Heat.

 

Its just an illustration that even the great teams loses to scrub teams as well. All because we lost to several terrible teams doesn't mean we are not contenders. Of course we are not the Heat but these jokers lost to their share of scrub teams.

 

Pardon? The worst they get is the 2nd seed and they will be facing the Pacers one or the other way.

 

Bwhahaha well of course the East is a freaking joke this year.

 

Nice Vid. Thanks!

 

I miss Bev. We need his defense, especially like games like last night.

 

I understand man. But like I said in another thread, they are not in danger of losing their seed or even a playoff spot because they reside in the east. Not only that but it's understandable that they lack motivation because they have won two rings, been there done that. The same cannot be said about us and they already have a better record than we do. We should be highly motivated at the start of games, this team has a lot to prove Miami doesn't.
