    They are the only team that can out gun us offensively, sucks, but they are a taller version of us and have been shooting at a ridiculous clip this game.

    Harden defense is predicated on his foul count. He has 4 fouls. He won’t play a lick a of defense until inside the 4 minute mark.

    I wouldn’t call him underrated. The guy has a great reputation.

    Harden stopped trying on D after refs took him out of the game calling bullshitnfouls on him.

    If the four Rockets in the paint would box out the one guy in the paint for Dallas, they would be up 40.

    His perimeter Defense is really really really really bad now. Luka or random scrub doesn't matter. He just let players blow pass him and swipe from behind. That forces someone to rotate to cover and leaves a MAv open on 3. Harden is playing like me on NBA 2k my player mode.

    In fairness to the Rockets, not every team is capable of hitting nearly 53% of their 3's even with the pathetic defense the Rockets play, so this game is making the situation look more dire than it should.

    because he had 4 fouls at halftime...he’s trying not to foul out

    Harden’s been the best defender on the team tonight

    It's bound to happen when they're double teaming Harden pretty much every possession. We need to find a way to score from the double teaming more consistently. We've never found an answer to it.... and that's on the coach.

    All that hesitation and indecisiveness ruins the possession
