The defensive maestro putting a clamp on Harden. Take Ariza out and put in Brewer. When Ariza is missing wide open threes he's like a headless chicken out there. He has no handles, dribbles with his head down. He's got zero fundamentals.
Butler's defended Harden as well as anyone this season. Great match up, but now Harden needs to show he's on that next level.
Harden is looking so lazy on defense, ZERO hustle on loose ball or rebound...we were playing much better with the second unit, much much better ball movement than Harden ISO..
the refs couldn't care less. they've been horrible this game and will continue to do so. but yeah, harden can't be discouraged
This is ugly. No O and so so D by the Rockets. Looks like it's another bad L. This is why the Rockets need that second playmaker.
The cleanest game ever played. Rox only 3 FT attempts with 3 min left in the game. That Tibbs is a defensive genius. Teaches his guys how to flop and NEVER foul.
