I don't know how I feel about you commenting on this knowing who your team is. I know it was different, but the moves are at least cousins. Lol
I always wondered what happened to Harden becasue in OKC, he was a defensive stopper. I know for a fact he used to put clamps on Kobe at times.
I honestly just think he got lazy on defense when he got to Houston. He sealed the deal with back to back plucks on KD in Game 4.
Having said all of this, even with Paul, it wasn't like they were convincingly beating the Warriors. Games 6 and 7 were toss ups before the injury, now, Game 6 is probably as much as a lock as a game can be.
