Yeah. I do think though that if Harden commits to playing defense, the whole team will. It begins with the star coming in and saying "let's play defense". Harden has it in him, he's just got to use it!
I wouldn't call the youngest playoff team in possibly NBA history mediocre. Inconsistent yes. Mediocre no.
Yeah if Harden decides to play defense, the Rockets could be at least one seed higher already instead they are mediocre.
While I agree with your assessment of Harden's defense, I don't think that is the main reason why we are mediocre.
I love watching this kind of slow motion HD videos with music. Here is another one. Switch to 720p for a better view. <iframe width="840" height="470" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Wvx5JMZzUUA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It would have been better if the video actually followed the format of NBA's BIG videos with same font and everything. This guy didn't pay enough attention to details. And he's hopping on the bandwagon, since two other guys made similar fan-made versions of a BIG commercial before him.
I agree it is not nearly as professional as BIG and has many inconsistencies. If the fan-mad versions were of lin and harden I agree, but if not then I don't see it as wrong. The BIG bandwagon isn't such a bad thing if fans are simply adding to it.
Why didn't OKC offer Harden and Perkins for Howard? This starting 5 would have been champs: Howard Ibaka Durant Sefolosha Westbrook
Actually that is incorrect I have heard Daryl say several times that this team in terms of total years in the league if one of, if not the youngest playoff teams in recent memory. That thunder team you mention did have some veterans on it.
