Chandler parsons on the court. Also three years ago. You can't be serious.

A lot of defensive metrics are influenced heavily by team defense so you can toss some of those out.

Is on/off defensive rating one of those? Is that one influenced heavily by team?

Harden top 50 all time? Mmm would need to see a list. He may be close to top 50 all time. No one is comparing his career to lebrons. And I mean no one. Harden will easily be top 50 when he's all done.

It Is showing jaja pachulia and Barton on mine. Must be a different filter from the one you have.

Those are the 3rd and 5th worse, you have to go to the bottom of the list to see the 3rd and 5th best. A negative number is a good thing.

He was dead last past the half way point. I didn't have the updated numbers. I'd say being dead last at halfway tells us a lot about his Defense.
Maybe he pulled a reverse Rockets and is doing better since the halfway point.

Then why do you use it to say Kawhi makes his team worse at defense?

He never was as bad as the gifs made him out to be. He's an average defender.


Are you saying that they were photoshopped? That is him in those gifs, correct?

He is very good defensively, and many times stops opponents from taking shots at all, but he when an opponent does get a shot off against him, they shoot their average.

Westbrook is viewed as the weaker defender of the two by many.


Is asked specifically about Harden and his defense. Immediately brings up Westbrook.

You are so obsessed with Russ it's weird.

It's definitely insecurity, the melt if Harden doesn't win will be hilarious.

He's a known OKC poster. if you had a ounce of brain power you would know that he doesn't have to say Russ name for it be implied.
