No one is talking about how fricking unaware Harden was on the final play too.

Dude doesn't help at all on Lillard. You have to show a little bit on the best player on the court. HIs head isn't even turned.

He's just the worst defender ever.

dwight was the reason why they were even contending in 6 games

Harden needs to learn some defense, even a tiny bit.

Uhhhh what? He isn't close enough to help. The only person who can possibly help on that play is the guy covering the person inbounding the ball.

He isn't close enough to help once Lillard has the ball.

It's an obvious stagger screen (or brush) away for Lillard. Easy to read because Portland's options are limited due to time.

Harden does nothing. He doesn't show at all to the top of the key when Lillard makes his initial break.

It was terrible by him, Parsons, and really just the entire Rockets defense.

Even if Harden attempts to help when he sees Lillard go in motion he has no chance of getting close enough to affect the shot. Like I said, the defender covering the person inbounding the ball is the only one who can possibly help. Blaming anyone but Parsons is stupid anyway.

I'm not talking about the shot.

If Harden jumps the play, he can force Lillard farther out, either forcing a farther shot or forcing the inbound place to go to another player entirely.

Harden needs to be ready to show and recover on a screen in his position. He did absolutely nothing.

To be fair, a couple of Rockets posters were stirring shite on the board for months. Predictable reaction.

PCT- if making fun of Pels talk is the only thing that'll make you happy, how about an olive branch? You Can guest host the "boom's thread of the day". If there's one thing on you hate more than us, it's boom. Keep it classy though. we are officially the voice of the voiceless.

Before anyone drops something silly, I promised him a boom thread of the day in his honor many months ago. What type of man would I be to not honor my word?
