The same could be said of Harden - esp. on D. He was looking better for awhile, now......not so much.
Harden only tries on defense when he gets posted up, for some reason. Otherwise he does not give a crap.
Harden is so damn frustrating on defense because he has all the physical traits needed for great defense- hes built incredibly similarly to Ron artest actually
Man you guys need to chill with the Harden hate right now. Yeah he's playing bad defense/not giving 100%, but can you blame him with like 10 games left in the season? Save some of that energy for when it matters. Harden has played good defense (for him) this season, and has carried the team numerous times. Just give the guy a slack.
This. First Parsons is inexplicably tasked to guard CP3 which was completely a backfire and now he's guarding Deron. Why is he defending opposing PG's, I'm sorry but Lin's D is still better than Parsons, and he has the size and speed to stick with Deron.
Obviously, you're not watching the game because if you did, you'd see that Harden's atrocious defense and horrific TOs have killed our momentum and lost us the lead. If you stopped polishing Harden's knob and looked at the facts, you'd notice his -12. Please put me on the ignore list, I'm tired of responding to mental midgets like you.
Good luck with this post also it's not like Harden is playing as bad as most on here are making it out to be on D Johnson is just feeling it
That's because Nets didn't get the ball to the open Anderson. Good thing Nets aren't that good neither. But still damn, Lin is not just no where near Linsanity but last years Lin was alot smarter on the court. Does Lin now also suffer from peripheral vision deficiency?
People underestimate how Bev had helped Harden on his D. When Bev will be on his PG so closely to disturb the passing, it makes all the cut much difficult and Harden benefit a lots from it.
