I think it's appropriate for a max contract and an $8 mill players to put in effort on the jobs they're paid to do. The fans have every right to be upset until Les decides to charge nothing for the ticketes and pay these guys out of own packet.
Humm... no he implied Lin as a selfish player who didnt pass to Harden during the 2v1 fast break and made the statement about Karma.
Funny video about JH's D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCgqJhFv_Hk&feature=youtu.be Just saw this video from a Chinese site. Thought very funny. Want to share with guys here.
The Rockets are the most popular team in Asia. It shouldn't be shocking that Harden's defense is also being noticed. Considering that Harden's defensive lapses have made the rounds on all the media sites, you'd have to be living under a rock and be a Rockets fan but not be aware of the criticism of Harden's defense.
He kind of strikes me as one of those guys who doesn't value scouting reports enough. I think that if he followed the scouting reports more, he'd be fine. Sometimes I think that he puts in enough effort, but he just doesn't take the time to understand what his counterpart's offensive strengths and weaknesses are.
From basketball point of view, JH is considered to have too much iso and lack of attention on D. We all agree. Half fans just think it is due to bad chemistry. 1/4 fans believe it is because of his foot injury. However, there is also drama that JH just doesn't like the other playmaker, Lin, to run the attack. So he prefers PB on the starting line and McHale somehow agrees with him. The amounts of arguments about DH, JH, TT, PB-Lin are 10 times more than here. Really annoying.
Yeah and who is putting that drama out there? Why are Lin fans so over the top weird/jealous of harden?
Whats really bad is that the video is all from only 1 game. And on top of that it is against a team full of 3 pt shooters who you shouldn't be leaving in the first place. We all knew since last season that he was a terrible ball watcher, but that was just embarassing. I hope one of the coaches sees this and shows it to him so he can see his lack of effort for himself and how it is hurting the team.
