The big difference is that Harden pushed through a terrible trade which crippled the franchise's future, and THEN he demanded a trade.
So much stupid here. Again, by giving the ball-handler an uncontested lane to the basket, you're putting your center at risk for fouls. And...
Who cares if Griffin is parked at the 3pt line? The Nets wanted Griffin to shoot the 3. They intentionally gave it to him throughout the game....
What you fail to realize is that this video references Harden's first game with Brooklyn. Of course he's going to give maximum effort on defense....
Wrong. Allowing the ball-handler to go around you with zero resistance is bad defense. If you can't acknowledge this universal truth, then...
Curry is a fine defender. You're underestimating the impact of effort, not only for individual defense, but also how it affects team defense....
This doesn't make any sense at all. They first need to learn what their "best" is before coasting in the regular season.
@HP3 You can watch the video clips at nba.com: https://www.nba.com/game/bkn-vs-det-0022000375/play-by-play This is only the first half, and I...
Metrics that don't consider lineups don't seem like they'd be useful. Can you elaborate on these metrics? I see. So you openly refuse to watch...
In my opinion, Curry has always been a fine defender. Does he get taken advantage of due to his smaller stature? Sure, but he plays good...
So when I say Harden is too slow to guard opposing perimeter players, you argue. But when someone else says Harden is too slow to guard opposing...
The problem is, you don't understand the context. Why do you think he's had good defensive metrics the past few years? It's because Morey...
Sure. Harden is a bad defender. He's too slow to guard opposing perimeter players. You continually disagree with this obvious truth.
And yet somehow you're usually wrong and I'm usually right. Weird how that happens, isn't it?
Maybe you should go read a book or something......work on that reading comprehension. If you have trouble understanding what you've read, then...
Harden is a bad defender. There's a reason he guards opposing PFs.....he's too slow to guard opposing perimeter players. Irving/Harden is one of...
For an MVP-caliber, max-contract player, playing passive IS playing bad. I think he'll turn things around once he gets in shape.
I didn't watch the game, but I would guess he's protected because he had a great game, and everyone knows he has a terrible supporting cast....
It's not his fault they're losing. He has a terrible supporting cast. Any objective observer can see this.
Or were they forced to play small-ball due to injuries to Wiseman, Looney, and Chriss?
