For a guard, hell no. This thus confirms my eye test that Harden plays 'smokers lungs' defense where he minimizes as much movement as possible on that end and typically hovers around the wing playing 'zone' while the rest of the team plays man D.
And none of them are guards. Big men will move less on the defensive end. Guards move more. Harden being the only guard on that list speaks volumes about his atrocious D.
DMo needs to grab more rebounds and stop being so soft down low so the team can take advantage of his undeniable skills on offense. I think we should all step back from the ledge and give him and the team a break since he is coming off a serious injury. I would only trade him if he nets a star.
will you settle for ARREST DMO? <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">On my way <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Htown?src=hash">#Htown</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Gameday?src=hash">#Gameday</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Rockets?src=hash">#Rockets</a> <a href="https://t.co/8VRe12fL8u">pic.twitter.com/8VRe12fL8u</a></p>— Donatas Motiejunas (@DonatasMot) <a href="https://twitter.com/DonatasMot/status/681968379096379392">December 29, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Why is he arriving just 1.5 hrs before the game? Dude should be in the gym from 3 Pm rebounding the ball from all positions
Well Durant is at least recovering from serious injury so that's a possible reason for it, there's no excuse for Harden though.
