[Video] James Harden Puts Clamps On Kawhi Leonard Final Seconds!

Maybe you’re tiny little brain can’t comprehend that in the context of the game being it the most important possession of the night ( could have been a game winning shot) and everything riding on it was a good defensive effort.

 

Calling out my "tiny little brain" when you don't use "your" vs "you're" correctly? And you're also neglecting the fact that I never said it wasn't good defense, just not amazing lockdown "clamping" defense like most others are saying?

lol. I don't want to estimate your intelligence based on just one post, so please be better next time.

 

Klawi actually had to fall back and heave a 3 beause hardens defense was decent

 

That was good D, but not exactly 'the clamps' as if he was Ron Artest

 

Agreed.

 

So, you guys enjoyed Harden's D, eh?

 

Perhaps unfair comparison, but that play wasn't this

 

Would not be surprised if they do it, Harden's defense reputation is stronger than their scooting reports lol

 

Good D by Harden, and I'd push it further to say Harden has been a plus defender all year long. I have a lot of confidence in Harden's defense when he's focused and has enough energy.

That being said, no need for trash attacks like this.

 

Leonard's shot has always seemed strange to me, like a sort of shot put. It works great when he steps into it, but man it's basically just a heave if he doesn't have some sort of forward momentum

 

well hes really trying his damn ass best to push harden out of the way. not a clamp but definitely a wall.

 

If the situation was reverse ......

Rocket River

 

That's because the game plan is to have whoever was guarding him body him up... so he took what the defense gave him and drove to the basket (and dished).

 

That’s a pretty bad quote though it’s true.

 

harden would have made that shot

 

hehe. tucker is always pretty blunt on harden.

 

You said “not a lot of defense needed there” which implies you don’t think he played great D. The reason Kawhi took that shot is bc he was forced into it by the great D

 

Don’t sweat it man. Sometimes people put no logic in their hate or misdirect it.
You’re right, the play will be overstated. I guess it’s not the worst thing but I hear ya

 

MVP! ... two time, two time

 

I agree. Here's the example of nailing a dagger when he can jump into the shot. He did hit that fading left, a little. This vid doesn't have the angle for it, but I remember saying ... since when does he make a shot like that.



I do think he hits some improbable ones, too.
