    Harden's "shimmy" had people in the media enraged. Shaq even landed him number 1 on shaqtin a fool for that shimmy. But imagine if Harden the "rock the baby" celebration that westbrick does all the time

    Yeah that moving screen called on Harkless was ridiculous, i mean, you see a screen like that at least 10 times per game, not to mention what the Warriors do with Draymond and Bogut...

    That is prolly the Thunder team that gave the Rox problems but they are too inconsistent.

    Russell Westbrook is nowhere near as efficient as James Harden

    Dennis exploited Kanter 3 times in a row, then OKC went away from it. This is probably why fans hate watching the Rockets. Rockets will go at a bad defender relentlessly until the end of time and won't care how it looks.

    Are there really that bad defenders on the Jazz starting team though?

    They are just below average offensively.

    Like Gobert is the reigning Defensive Player but he is turned into a bad player.

    He did alrite against the other 28 teams.

    This might be the best series in round 1.

    So Harden can barely get a free throw to save his life in these playoffs and Paul George suddenly gets 17? Also, remember when people were going on about how PG doesn't need that many free throws to score 40 points 3 months back? 14 of his 22 points were free throws tonight. His 3/16 shooting won't get a mention. If this was Harden, it'll be on the front page of ESPN.

    To be fair, Harden used to do the chef motion and now if he scores over a small guy he does this motion indicating the guy who's guarding him is too small

    Gobert and Rubio arent bad defensively, but the are both bad when playing Harden and the Rockets. Harden has NEVER had trouble with Rubio and Gobert.
