    No dude, you said they wouldn't maintain that #1 ranking. If you're going to be a Debbie downer you best take that elsewhere. Love it or leave it! Ride or die! Know what I'm saying chief?

    My main point is that some people are reading too much into the stat. Again, I think we mostly agree. Will be interesting to see where they’re ranked around the end of the season. I’m guessing ten, but that’s pretty much a shot in the dark because I haven’t watched any teams besides the Rockets and Nets this season.

    Amazing how Lebron and Kawhi can win titles despite not playing any defense during the regular season.

    Must be Harden.

    LeBron and Kawhi are not bad defenders in the regular season. Kawhi has never logged a negative defensive season in his career.

    Harden played at most a season and a half of truly good defense in his Rockets career

    I don’t even know what the argument is but I had to post this response

    LeBron is also freaking LeBron btw. He doesn’t need to actually try to do **** out there.


    We all know he doesn’t try on offense either and look how good he is.

    LeBron moving at 90% speed is still more athletic than everyone. And he’s Uber smart and a positioning and communication god. Absolutely a good defender even if he’s not giving everything he has every play.

    It is funny that since the Harden trade the Rockets have the best defensive rating and the Nets have the worst defensive rating. :)
