    Don't try to post up James, it never works.

    If Kyrie or Curry defended AD in the post as well as Harden, while also scoring 26 pts in the 1st half, the media would go beserk with constant talk and replays of it.

    But Harden gets ... "too much dribbling, too many free throws -- boring -- and look at this one time he lost his man on the baseline."

    Harden is doing a bunch.. He has all the points, all the rebounds, all the post defense..

    If the other Rockets can just hit open shots, this would be a blow out.

    When harden is stronger than PJ in the post that tells you 2 things ....

    1) James harden is incredible

    2) PJ is a bit worn down

    Please MDA find some rest for him soon . He needs to miss a game or get his minutes WAY down to avoid him getting hurt for a longer period of time or be too banged up by the playoffs to fully contribute

    Hardens post defense is elite. His perimeter defense is ****.

    Media wouldn't talk those guys up, but if it was LeBron or Giannis, it'd be this guy isn't just MVP but also DPOY.

    games like this really highlight why anthony davis has 0 50 win seasons and why the pelicans have the 2nd worst record in the west.

    inconsistency, disappearing, overrated interior defense

    Naw, PJ is just not as good as James Harden in the post.. I'm not saying MDA isnt wearing out PJ, I'm saying Jim won a Noble Prize in Post Defense.
