    The guy who starts a thread after a bad half from our best weapon during game 4 of the season? Yea, I'd hate to be that guy too.

    Hardens defense is bad and Howard offense is bad. Sometimes I think Harden doesn't try hard enough.

    The Clips are trying to run him through a bunch of picks with Reddick, tire him out. Harden should switch with Parsons.

    Do me a favor and watch Harden on defense. Yes, he's our best player Einstein but he's a notoriously bad defensive player and i don't think it's a capability issue. Bimathug tweeted during the game that the reason Harden isn't yet elite elite is because his D. I tend to agree. Plus we're all allowed one knee jerk thread per username. Check the rules!!

    He is not cut out to be one but I hope he is trying.

    He got complacent

    I'm perfectly aware. Him and Lin are bad defenders. I would rather him be 2 way like Kobe, Paul, or James, but he isn't. Few are. It's why Beverly is so valuable to our backcourt.

    Harden is making JJ Redick look like a super-star. Harden looks like the worst defender I've seen in a very long time.

    I was joking about the rules. We know D isn't his strong point but my case is the effort isn't there. With that said, after seeing jj blow pass Harden for a layup, his ankle MUST be an issue

    Outside of a couple isolated incidents, Redick isn't really scoring on his own though. For the most part he's getting shots as a direct result of Chris Paul breaking down the defense.

    He's pretty meh at defense, but his insane offensive skills usually makes up for it, but not tonight...
