    Is he legitimately a good defender ?

    Why is he allowed to be Tony Allen level physical with James ?

    How come if James tries to use his strength he is called for an offensive foul ?

    Because the NBA wants a game 7 and they want to act like the warriors had to overcome insurmountable odds even though the Rockets are on one leg. You'll hear more about igoudala than you will CP3 .

    Anyone can be a good defender if you’re allowed to foul your man and not get called for it.

    the way they were bodying Harden all night...if that was us to KD he would’ve shot 25 free throws

    because blocking foul does not exist against Harden, just throw him around and then call an offensive foul on Harden

    I could probably be all team defensive if I was able to hand check and commit blocking fouls similar to Nick young.

    he leans on harden and pushes with his hips, but when harden leans back its a foul.

    Our O was so stagnant. That's truly the difference between Chris Paul and James Harden. We need paul back. We need him back badly if we really want to win the series.... even if he is just there to pass. When harden is running the offense it becomes extremely predictable. He isn't but the rest of the team is. Nick young isn't a great defensive player but he didn't need to do much. We have to make the warriors work.

    He didn't. Refs allow him and Curry to get away with the most blatant hand checking of all time.
