All the teams that are better than the Rockets will get worse next year; 1. Pacers will lose one of Lance Stephenson or Evan Turner due to...
Harden wouldn't guard Durant, in last year's playoffs, Harden guarded Ibaka on a fair amount of possessions.
So basically you are agreeing with me that he can't defend 2s.
Usually, you don't make big adjustments like that in the regular season, just play your regular guys and win or lose. In the playoffs, I agree,...
Even when he receives the ball with back to the basket, he usually pivots into a jab step.
He's giving his guys a shot, the starters have a longer leash. I understand it, but the game was lost in the third quarter when he didn't bench...
I hope that Harden and Parsons minutes get reduced, but I suspect that the minutes will remain the same and JHAM will take Lin's and TJ's minutes.
disagree on both counts. PG is a solid position, we have Bev, Lin, Harden all who can man the PG position on O or D. PF is also pretty solid, TJ...
He's guarding out of position, if he guarded 3s and 4s, I think his defense would be above average. I've never seen him abused like he does when...
There's a massive difference. If Harden was guarding Matt Barnes instead of Darren Collison,we probably would've won today.
Harden's strength is not bullying weaker players, look at his poor outings, it's mostly against quicker smaller guards who can anticipate his...
I guarantee you our Harden, Parsons big lineups will get exposed in the Playoffs. In this game, they basically had Beverly's man play free safety...
Harden doesn't have any post moves, his postups consist of jab fakes into a stepback or a drive. All of which he could execute against 3s or 4s....
Yep, my thinking is that it is really hard to build around Harden as a 2, however, if he was a 3/4, building around him would be much easier.
James Harden is not a 2, defensively, he has little to no chance to guard any 2 in the League, the reason is not because he is bad at defense but...
Make his free throws. Here is a list of all players in the history of the NBA that has average over 15 Pts per game with a free throw % less...
The team doesn't trust Lin because the coaches doesn't trust him. How do you expect your team to trust the PG when the coaches don't trust him...
Good point, neither was KG, or Kobe, I have to make an exception for guys who jump from High School straight to NBA. It takes them about 1 season...
I've never seen anyone develop into a great defender in the NBA, usually you either come in as a great defender or NOT, Harden and Parsons pretty...
If you look back on past NBA champions every SINGLE one of them started at least one if not two ALL NBA wing defenders. The gold standard is...
