Reading this made me think of that playoff series we had against them in the first round 2 years ago. Jimmy looked just as helpless as anyone else trying to guard Harden. It was a sign of just how far harden had come because back when jimmy was on the bulls and harden was with mchale, jimmy had some good games defending him. But that whole wolves series, James made Jimmy look like an ordinary defender.

Perhaps as often does for defensive stoppers like Jimmy, as their offense expands, it comes at the detriment to what made them great on the other end. Few can maintain both. Even Kawhi looks way more human on defense now than he did on the spurs, when he didn't have to generate as much of the offensive load.

Butler was also not healty in that series, to be fair, he literally just came back from a pretty serious knee injury.
