There is a difference between able to and want to. Before he got to OKC, he played a very similar style to what we currently see from him, with the exception that he was a good defender. Pull up jumpers was actually a weakness of his. The only reason he did not play a more ball dominant role was because he played with Westbrook and Durant. It is also easy to look hyper efficient when you are playing with two other stars, one of them being possibly one of the best SF's behind Lebron and Bird when all is said and done. Again, the James Harden we see on the Rockets, the one who loves to dominate the ball and break down defenses with exquisite hesitation moves and change of pace is the REAL Harden.

Loves?
How do you know he loves it? How do you know it is not what he does because that is our best way to win?

Harden has proved over and over that he's a team player. He can adjust his role to what fits the team best. You're absolutely wrong here. Harden will let Ty be the point guard more often than not. Winning is the "REAL Harden" way.

Great video! Thanks for posting.

With Ty Lawson in the fold....I expect the Rockets "half court" offensive efficiency to go WAY UP (DMo helps too).

This in turn will limit the Rockets transition defense problems and thus teams will be forced 2 play against the Rockets base D.

Last year for the Rockets "fast break points" were a KEY component of their offense. When in reality those points should just be "value add." In the playoffs things slow down. The Rockets need better, efficient offense and having Lawson to play with Harden and DMo on the court will be HUGE in this aspect.
