    Harden is embarrassing defensively. He needs to have some pride and at least look like he gives a **** on that end of the floor.

    He's also playing more tentative because of the one foul.

    I rather have Curry's defense and offense than Harden, felt that way before and even more so now.

    wow harden's defense is bad a lot of times but those two jumpers by batum and matthews had nothing to do with harden's D. yall need to relax. you guys are acting like reggie miller, just overreacting cause you guys watched an 11 minute video smh. he's also playing with one foul already, do you guys want him to get in foul trouble?

    Harden's defense is especially bad in this one. I think the one that bothered me the most was the Wes Matthews fast break layup.

    It's not just one play or one game. It's the entire series. His defensive intensity or lack thereof is baffling.

    On a positive note- Howard's 3 point stroke has looked really good in the playoffs.

    I feel like Harden's defense is like Dwight's free throws. You can't fix it, you just have to pray they do better.

    We should let Harden defend LMA. He'll make the shots anyway. At least another no name will not look like LeBron
