    I'm sure they'll be on the hunt for lapses more than ever before.

    yes, yes....thank you. As a video producer back to you..what great work !

    I used to love watching James Harden.....now all I can do is sit back and in awe and make sure I watch every minute of his Rockets career.

    This caliber player doesn't come around very often. It's like a Dream.......................

    Just googled a little Amin and he's a confirmed douche. Tried to pick a fight with Woj and got burned.

    Worked for the Suns as an assistant in fo but couldn't hack it so is now doing the Skip Bayless schtick?

    Then that can be the narrative. Allow others to make that argument, then call them hypocritical. Tell them to actually a watch the next Rockets game for themselves. If you are truly watching the games, you know Harden and Ariza put the perimeter defense on their back when Bev wasn't playing.

    Reaction just confirms there are many more people who do not ĺove the Rockets than those who do love them.


    Shocker

    Helin is also one of those guys that post the 3 second vines of defensive lapses and usually has some sarcastic title like "Harden has another defensive "gem".

    I dont know if he has an agenda or than getting clicks but I can't stand the guy.

    Good video. I feel like adding background music makes it look less professional. I would prefer if it was just like if you actually took it straight out the game with announcers and all.

    I don't know whether this video has the capability to make people like Harden though. Honestly, I think it'll bring more hate out of other NBA fans and a few NBA 'analysts', ya know?

    By the way, if I had the job of watching NBA games then I would probably watch games ALL DAY lol.. Amil or whatever homies name is is a joke. Seems a little bitter, too, but I digress.

    So far I'll admit I have never seen a player make such a huge jump defensively in one season. I'm proud of James Harden.

    My mother texted me and said Harden plays defense. I said how do you know and she mentions this video.

    Houston plays a trapping high energy defense, similar to what Miami did, which is why we're surviving without Dwight and even Bev, but the key to that is the players ability to switch (rather than fight through screens) and cover the others guys man (we are historically good with Dwight in the lineup).

    Golden State can't do that, because let's be serious here, what would happen if you have Curry switched onto the opponents best player? Teams would run that play all day and night, so they try not to switch at all, instead they funnel funnel funnel, so if Bogut goes down, the house of cards falls apart.

    We have to be able to trust Harden to be able to defend Ariza's man 20% of the time, and it's been working.

    Can someone find the line ups that Harden plays in the most, and then figure out their drtg and ortg? I know there's a website for that, but I don't know it.

    he is really good on the ball though, that play on Monta was exceptional - he must be in great shape to give such effort on both ends. well done to him.

    I have never heard of that Amin person and I consider myself a basketball junkie. seems a real d*ck
