Wat. Seriously though, anyone who's watched a Rockets game this year knows Harden has stepped up his defense. Still lazy at times and overly aggressive at other times, but he's finally putting the quickest hands in the NBA to use. His DRtng this year is 98 and the Rockets' D has held up even with Dwight out. I know his shooting has tanked, but this has to be considered his best season so far, right? James Harden as a + defender is immediately a top MVP candidate. I think he's #6 in steals (overrated measure of a defender, but still important) and like #30 in blocks. o.O | ||

Obviously the West is gonna start better than the East but I can't see these ridiculous win percentages keeping up, like there's no way 7th seed is gonna finish around 60 wins, there's no way | ||

From December 3rd of this year: NBA.com best 2 guards ; the Australian NBA.com reporter picked Wesley Mathews over Harden... It's kind of funny because Harden is averaging more Blocks and Steals than Thompson so far this year, but people still think Harden is playing the same defense as he did last year. All the current complaints about Harden's defense show most of them haven't watched any Rockets games this year. Harden just had to improve to average defensively to be the best 2 guard in the league, and he has been well above average so far. Only concern is the energy used has made him less efficient as a scorer so far, but the results are in the wins despite Dwight Howard, Terrence Jones, Pat Beverly, Canaan and now Papanikolaou out for extended periods so far with injuries. | ||

I don't know how I feel about the latter but on the moment it didn't shock me while LB's seemed straight horrible. So, LeBron(and the other guys at the game last night) got a shirt in a font you don't like given to them by Jarret Jack, who had his sports agency acquire them when he heard the players wanted them, and that means what exactly? | ||

This is the most broken basketball I've seen in a while. Not the worst, but the most disjointed. | ||
