Fact is that momentum in games is a real thing, while not tangible itself, you can tangibly see the effect it has when teams are on runs and how it can dramatically effect the outcome of games when you can generate any momentum.

At first I thought #4 might be Dominique but after some searching Oakley looks right. Never would have gotten Schintzius.

He only does it to the most annoying teams and players. Like here he was doing it to flop-master Blake, and b4 he did it to Chalmers, Bosh, and LBJ.

Great defense as always by Harden. People give him a pass because he is such a prolific scorer, but as good as he is on the offensive end, he is just as good as being one of the worst defenders in league history. There have been players who have been just as bad defensively in the past, and there will be plenty more in the future, but the difference is that at least others try to make an effort, or attempt to play defense and fail, this guy doesn't even bother.

Being a Bulls fan, I've had to watch Boozer for 4 years stink it up on the defensive end, and I thought he was one of the worst, but Harden takes the crown easily.
Why so serious?

people give him a pass because he's actually playing good defense this year.

advanced stats trumps your random gif where he attempted to get a charge call but mistimed it horribly

this is anecdotal cherry picked nonsense. you've probably not watched one game this season. i've personally watched all but a few rockets games last season and wholeheartedly agree that harden was absolutely pathetic in terms of defensive effort. in comparison to this season, however, there's no question of the improvements he's made. the whole hate bandwagon is getting pretty old.
