I invite you to review Kevin Durant's first playoff series as the number 1 guy and his performance against the Lakers. http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201004180LAL.html http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201004200LAL.html http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201004220OKC.html http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201004240OKC.html http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201004270LAL.html http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201004300OKC.html
Tell me, do you actually think he will ever become an very good defender? His defensive instincts in man to man situations is horrible, he isn't very fast moving side-to-side
I am sorry, but IMHO anyone that defends Harden here isn't a fan of the Houston Rockets in any way, shape or form. They are a James Harden stan, and nothing more than that. Les Alexander should have fired Morey after the Shane Battier trade, but he didn't. Well, if he does not fire Morey now after that James Harden contract, then there is literally no hope for this team to ever win anything again, as long as Alexander and Morey are still running things. Two absolutely FATAL and unforgivable moves by the GM, that the owner is seemingly OK with. Harden............good lord, did Presti rape the Rockets.
You have plans to clone Durant? Durant is the #2 player in the league/world. Only Lebron is better. But Durant is not ours. At least Harden is ours. Wait until we get Howard, and then OKC should watch out.
He's trolling. What he does. Was no where to be found game 5 and he's the won calling out 'Rocket Fans' and was nowhere to be found in a big win.
Even the great LeBron took years before he figured it out. Give Harden a chance to grow. Give Lin a chance to grow. Stop the nonsense and grow up.
I don't know why, I just don't like Lin anymore. I AM NOT A RACIST. I would like to give him a chance... on another team... after we show him the door.
He had taken a team to the finals before the age of 23, but you can't compare harden to a guy many people predicted would be a goat.
