    It feels like in every post-game interview with James Harden, he mentions defense. That's our leader. I think we'll continue to play defense the rest of the year.

    Not until Ainge traded for KG and Ray Allen to teach him heart, lets be real now.

    I am surprised how dumb all these former players sound. Did you hear the nonsense from Barkley, Shaq & Kenny that Harden allowed Russ to just dominate because he wasn't feeling it? Harden still took many shots and was actually much more successful in the 2nd half. And all these guys saying Harden was off the ball a lot more by design, that Harden consciously started to be off the ball. It was just Russ taking matters into his own hands, but Harden still had the ball a ton and was giving it up as he got double-teamed. Just because they say something positive about the Rockets does not mean it isn't bullshit.

    Even before those additions, Paul Pierce took his team to Conference finals in playoffs.

    Why are we discussing McGrady in a Pierce thread?

    Actually, they should have just paid Harden. Very simple.

    With Harden, you need a player than can take advantage of the space created by him. You need someone that can abuse players one on one. Westbrook is one of those guys. Other players that can do it are Beal, Lilliard, Mitchell and Booker. Harden forces teams to make a decision, leave Harden 30-35 feet from the basket, single cover Harden, or play the secondary player 4 or 4.
