@dennistang59354 жыл бұрын
So either (1) Dort is the best defender in the league, like ever, because no one else can slow harden down as much or (2) Harden had a few bad possessions and Dort played well a few possessions. Given that Harden scored 38 points, and Dort is only now being recognized as a defender capable of stopping NBA MVP's, option 2 is much more likely. This is like when Delly was the "curry stopper" and then curry dropped 37 on 56% shooting

bluesrockfan36 did you watch the game or did you just watch the highlights? Dort is just a rookie and isn’t going to nullify Hardens offence but the rockets were obviously trying to get Dort off of Harden with screens, and it was apparent that Harden settled for jumpers because he had a hard time getting clean looks at the rim against Dort. I’ve watched Dort all season and he’s an excellent defender. His defence wasn’t a fluke. And to your point there were not many instances (if any) where Dort fouled harden and it wasn’t called. If there is any player in the league who ISNT going to get the calls he wants its Harden.
@bluesrockfan364 жыл бұрын
@@jasoncho140 That's just not true. I saw the entire game and also saw multiple times how Harden brushed off screens and attacked Dort. Do I really need to explain how going _under_ screens while defending Harden is a bad idea? This isn't good defense, this is just lucky. OKC has done this before in the playoffs, eventually they paid the price. They did the same thing with Lillard for a few games last year. There's no waving your arms that will help you once he starts knocking 3 down. But if your complaint is that teams screen to find favorable matchups in the playoffs... I don't know what to tell you. It's what's been done since screening was invented. If you can screen and get Adams to guard Harden... wouldn't you? This is not to say Dort is a bad defender, he's quite good. His penetration defense is beyond elite. But his perimeter defense is very suspect. But I have a feeling that's not his choice but the game plan for Harden, given OKC's history of defending 3pt off the dribble shooters by going under screens.
@jasoncho1404 жыл бұрын
bluesrockfan36 ya I agree with you, going under screens isn’t a good idea. I think the only reason he does that is so that he can stay on Harden, bcz if you tries to fight through the screen most of the time he is going to get switched off. Harden did a better job and shooting the three when Dort when under in game 4. I never said going under the screen was a good idea I just said that he was good at stopping the drive and avoid fouling.

If he make himself a little bit more mobile and work the paint on a higher elevation, they'll see much more success imo.

OKC trusting their young guys speaks volumes about what type of coach Donovan is. I never liked him before because i thought he had such great players they should be winning. But donovan came from college and wasn’t used to centering his offense around a star. this year shows that Donovan knows how to coach a team.Trusting his young guys and getting every one involved was key to their success this season. Coach of the year in my eyes

Santi Paz To answer those people who criticize God for doing nothing and not serving justice but justice ‘will’ come. The hour of repentance (to change one’s mind) acknowledging that one is a sinner and in need of saving is upon us. That day of reckoning has not come yet because the chance is still being given to change one’s mind and to believe in Him to be saved. It’s not a joking matter to be honest... Did Jesus Christ exist and if He did, can His death, burial and resurrection be disproven, which is essentially the entire belief-system of Christendom? Find out in the movie, “The Case For Christ”. One surprisingly enjoyable and fairly accurate Hollywood movie that nobody knows about. If you are one of those people who (1) do not know why we are on earth or what purpose we serve in this world (2) believe that “something came out from nothing” (the Big Bang theory) and the probability of also having ORDER in the universe (which if you do the math is literally impossible without a Creator/intelligent designer) and not chaos resulting from this “bang”....then I would highly encourage you to wake up. It takes no work for a Christian to be saved. Bettering yourself up or making yourself “good” (or “good enough”) to outweigh your bad is a BOLD-FACED SATANIC LIE. (Who but God is good? No one is “good”! {Romans 3:10} Who in their right mind can argue their goodness to an All-Good God at trial?) “This is the work of God, that ye BELIEVE on him whom he hath sent.” (John 6:29)...*Poof* you just were saved. Though, “works” do equate to rewards! Think of it as a “video game” (though these games have FAKE LIVES have FAKE REWARDS!) “...behold, I (Jesus Christ) come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” (Revelation 22:12) Lucifer, now Satan, before The Fall was bejeweled with every stone-Ezekiel 28:13. It is surely doubtful that he would want anyone to gain what he lost, let alone being saved! “Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind...” (Colossians 2:18) Do not stack up your rewards here on earth. Invest in eternity! “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and RUST doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matt 6:19-21) SELLING OUT ONE’S SOUL. “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.” (Matt 16:26-28) THE GREAT DECEIVER “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”. (Revelation 12:9) Do not be DECEIVED. Investigate The Truth! While you investigate, the Bible says there will be FALSE CHRISTS and FALSE GOSPELS. Do not be fooled by the many denominations! (Matt 24:24; Mark 13:22) All you need to fo is BELIEVE! (John 3:16)

He’s gotta attack in transition more and be able to shoot pull ups of the screen when fort goes under and he’s gotta shoot of the catch more he’ll be open off the catch and not shoot so he can dribble for 15 seconds same when it’s a 2 on 2 break he could attack but he slows it down to dribble for 15 seconds

Harden and Dort are both Arizona State Alumni and Harden worked out with Dort while Dort was still at ASU. Dort has a familiarity of what Harden wants to do and is smart enough to not reach into the cookie jar, when Harden attempts to draw the contact. Dort is also strong as an OX and has solid defensive fundamentals (gets low in his defensive stance). Dort reminds me of a combination of Kyle Lowry and PJ Tucker. I saw a lot of Dort at ASU as I'm a CAL hoops fan. Once Dort develops more confidence on offense and a consistent jumper, he will have a chance to be a solid starter in this league.
