Did you see me mention Harden?

Harden has always had the ABILITY to defend he just didn't give a flying frick about it and did inconsistently. He's defending well this year. We will see if he keeps it up (he probably won't), but he's definitely defending well.

I don't care what any stat says about Ryan Anderson. That dude cannot defend for shite. He sucks.

I haven't looked at the stats for Ryan Anderson. I've just watched the games. And he hasn't been bad defensively. I've been pleasantly surprised.

Again, it's hard to believe because I know how bad he was for the Pelicans defensively. I was apprehensive about him coming to the Rockets for that very reason. But he's been fine on defense.

I agree I think it does hurt Harden some if Gordon gets the 6th man and D'antoni gets COY

Anderson always played hard for the Pelicans. He really tried to play defense but just was not that good at it. Some nights he was actually very good on D but for the most part he got abused. But with that being said he is a good rebounder on offense and defense.

I think the pace that the Rockets play and guards that can defend are really helping Anderson. He does not have to be great just ok.

Gordon has found his place in the NBA and is excelling sometimes it is all about the fit.
