    Harden couldn't answer the question about his horrid defense so Les had to chime in. MDs defensive coach??

    After this 1 year extension which essentially eats up 10 mil of cap space for the next 2 years, Harden truly has this organization by the balls. Well played Beard, well played.

    It was a money issue all along. No he is paid to play 2 sides of the ball.

    I really hope a decent contingent of Clutchfans is sterile. The self hating Rockets fans need to go.

    Completely how I feel, love that Les is defending his franchise player

    He probably reads Clutchfans and is probably sick of hearing all the negativity

    Don't care what you guys have to say, Les is committed to winning. He'll overpay to continue a having winning culture. You all should be happy about the extension. Last year was a fluke year, $hit happens

    I never got the whole "Le$" is cheap thing. My issue has always been that he doesn't make the best decisions for the organization - Jeremy Lin letting great PG's walk - and focusing on winning now instead of taking solid steps, and the whole flashy offense thing.

    Bad defenses don't win in the NBA.

    No kidding. I hope a lot of these BBS posters don't breed and add another generation of cynical, nothing-makes-me-happy jerkoffs.

    Really have to wonder why they're Rockets fans in the first place, but whatevah.

    If you have a problem with how Le$ has conducted him self today via his words or his actions you are not a fan of this team and you should leave the GARM and not come back.

    Not even joking here.

    No I'm sick of this team not holding Harden accountable for his piss poor defense last year. He turned it up in 2014-15 then it went to **** this past year. the blame is always deflected elsewhere. Its the media, it's other GMs, Morey going full cocky on twitter... Have you already forgotten how broken we were with JBB at the helm and our pitiful display in the playoffs?

    It's off season now but true fans don't forget.

    Everyone had a bad season, how many other rockets are you crying about? What does your crying do? Is it beneficial in any way? Yes his defense was bad this past season, get over it. Crying isn't going to change what happened last season.

    Harden is a grown man. He can answer for himself when a question is directed to him. Les was pandering him by cutting him off.
