I would not rate Curry higher than Harden defensively. Harden can not make his teammates make open shots. The players on the team haven't criticized Harden or blamed him for their offensive woes. I am not a Harden apologist or anything either, I have been very critical of him when he deserves it and skeptical of his game when he joined the team. But your criticism here reflects a disconnect from reality. The Rockets need a team commitment to D. Harden is one piece of it - a big piece but he gets far too much blame for it.
He IS a good passer - he just makes bad decisions... like that bounce pass between defenders he likes to try... why it's enough to set a record for turnovers... lol
Reggie Miller , Chris Webber, Shaq, Kenny Smith R. Fox, C. Bullups and John. Rose all talked about Harden's lackluster defense. They also roasted him for all those turnovers. Oh and let's not forget C. Murphy.
Clyde is being a company man with that statement. Les came out and defended Harden, so we all should know Clyde wasn't going to go against what Les said. Bwhahaha
I want the destruction of player only fans on clutchfans they are not pure rockets everything they believe in shall fall and from the ashes we will be build a better clutchfans
Les and the FO trying to win back the fanbase by foisting Drexler on us LOL Right now, they need to do a credible job of changing the roster to suit the coach's style. Jury is still out. Time will tell whether this will right or sink the ship. In any case, this offseason and next season may prove to be an entertaining (=funny) one.
there's no link to the actual quote this player only fan could have quoted something very old or may have fabricated it

Are those mostly pre-Kardashian highlights? Below is the type of game Harden never had pre-Kardashian. 2-10 from the field, 0-5 from 3pt land with 8 turnovers vs. the Cavs at home. Tons of live ball turnovers (just straight up getting stripped by Cavs scrubs in the open court), lazy settling for 3s, not being able to blow by his man. This doesn't even include defense. Did he party the night before? This was in January so you can't blame him still being fat from the off-season ankle injury. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BtEyHvc05Z4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
media conspiracy. or Dwight's fault. or both. actually more like the price of playing 40 minutes/game, gotta rest sometime. anyway. that was just one game. after that we turned the corner. leaders never follow. James still getting back into shape after spraining his ankle. It was McHale's fault. Kardashian curse. stay calm.
http://www.todaysfastbreak.com/from-the-courts/nbas-lopsided-1-way-players-offensive-edition/ All-Lopsided team that would see the points racked up on both sides. PG: Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving SG: DeMar DeRozan, Evan Fournier SF: Kobe Bryant, C.J. Miles PF: Ryan Anderson, Mirza Teletovic C: Enes Kanter, Greg Monroe [rQUOTEr] The most lopsided player by this measure is Damian Lillard, not James Harden. In fact, Harden isn’t even on the list because, shockingly, he’s not below average for his position. We already discussed Damian Lillard. Kyrie Irving has “earned” a spot here, too. Irving shows the same degree of effort on the court as the oft-criticized Harden does — maybe even less. But for whatever reason he doesn’t get as roasted for it. Maybe it’s because while Harden thrives by drawing “contact” in what we’ll politely call a very unaesthetic form of offense, Irving’s crossover magic-handles are a beautiful thing to behold. Irving’s game is just prettier, so he draws fewer critiques on the other end. [/rQUOTEr]
