    If Harden can't learn how to defend, Morey has to change his project, maybe he should trade him out

    what. If that was alright, then what would atrocious be?

    Harden's our superstar and he needs to take the responsibility of leading the team.

    CP3 outplays any PG in the league every night!!!!
    but our BEST PLAYER was outplayed by a role player.
    That's the difference.

    Did Jeremy impregnate your imaginary girlfriend?

    not just harden defense suck so is his offense
    ball movement stop completely when he had the ball
    then he will just go on the stupid iso step back 3
    when lin/brooks running the offense at least we are sharing the ball and score some basket

    Yes, Lin couldn't defend CP3, but is there anyone who can defend CP3?

    this board has been pretty bad, trade someone if they have a bad game, give them an MVP if they have a good game. He's a shooting guard, they are the most inconsistent position out of all of the positions because their main offensive weapon is their shot

    After our 3-0 start and everyone generally being pretty calm, I thought somehow we've changed into a fanbase that tries to stay on an even keel through good and bad.

    Apparently I was wrong. We seem to be a fanbase that don't get up for success but will jump on any sign of failure. Can't believe Houston fans are turning into NY or Philly fans.

    Did I really just read a post saying to trade Harden? Has it really come to this after one game?

    Harden and Parson switched, and was on Dudley momentarily, which stopped the bleeding from JJ Redick's open shots, but Dudley scored open shots and shots in a row.

    Such a no-show player defensively, there is nowhere to hide against an NBA elite offense. The lack of defensive effort from Harden was contagious throughout, as the team played heartlessly; typically painful moments still hanging in my head are: easily lost defensive marking; not even trying to grab the long rebounds; not fighting 50-50 balls; missed easy layups and dunks...

    Hope the team can re-group and learn. The team and the season are still young, with margin for error, still... But I hope, as a team leader, Harden could live up to his own word to improve on his defensive game.

    Equally ridiculous.

    He was horrific tonight. Highly doubt he will be this horrific again. Hopefully being benched sent a message.

    1.) our bigs got taken out early in the first
    2.) Harden had a bum ankle (which is why even on the fast breaks he didn't dunk but lay it up instead)
    3.) CP3 breaking down the defense gave JJ the easy J
    4.) JJ also get multiple screens meant to tired out harden.
