Harden is underrated defensively. He's strong enough to defend bigger players in the post. He isn't blessed with the most lateral quickness but his strength offsets some of that.

Maybe it was an anomaly, but at the last Pels/Rockets game I saw nearly every defensive Harden staple:
- The fast break ole'
- The swipe at the ball on lane penetration from behind/there goes my man
- The backdoor "where'd he come from" cut
- The wide open "James' man" 3.

I'm sure he was just having one of those games, but it was one of the most noticeably poor defensive efforts I'd seen from an opponent.
