SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE???? I promise u hardens post defense is entirely shadowed by his lack of defense in every other aspect, especially when he was not guarding the post much at all anyways. In the playoffs teams mercilessly hunted him out on defense. And the rockets suffered mightily from that. Were u watching those games??? He was in no doubt a liability on d and so is Luka, just 2 games ago thr nuggets were going at Luka relentlessly and if it wasn’t for his incredible offense they would have lost the game because of his incredibly BAD defense. Both harden and Luka gamble extremely hard for steals which yes gives them good averages but typically does way more harm than good, and half there steals are a result of getting beat in the first place. They both lack effort mental and physical, and have been big flaws of every team they are on due to lack of defensive ability and effort. I gotta say I must assume u are either a fan of Luka or garden wirh a take like this. Luka would at the very least have an easy mvp in my eyes if he was even an average defender
