    Yeah, that wasn't a foul at all. Clint stood his ground outside of the area and the guy bumped into him.

    The refs anticipate fouls sometimes, that is play on and good defense.

    so basically “he’s doing good right now, but it it was team X or Y he’d suck”...some people are just obsessed with trying to find a negative angle

    and ridiculous how many people get mad at harden for exploiting that instead of get mad at the defender for falling for the same trick over and over

    Rockets have been so frustrating to watch lately. We should be up double digits.

    Harden is so, so bad on defense. How many plays over the years has his D titled toward the teams favor. Has to be literally hundreds of plays, and thousands of points hemorrhaged since 2013.

    Great effort defensively by CP3 to stay in front only for Harden to get blown by on the perimeter again.

    He's prolly tired but Hardens perimeter defense has been off the pass couple games: ppl are just driving around him with ease if they can dribble decently and its compromising the entire defense. I wish he could move his feet better

    Umm yes? The Lakers have one of the worst records in the league.

    Harden falls apart when the defense shadows him off the ball. He can't free himself and is slow footed. It's a weakness that can make him non-existent in crunch time situations. Luckily the Lakers aren't doing this.

    The team isn't mean to beat the Los Angeles Lakers dude .We are trying to win a ring. Harden schooling the Lakers doesn't tell me much.
