After James Harden and the Rockets lost to the Steph Curry-less Warriors on Monday night, just about everyone had something bad to say about the defense Harden played during the game. And really, can you blame them? I mean…
But earlier this afternoon, Stephen Jackson provided the best take on Harden’s bad defense when he was asked about it on ESPN’s The Jump. After Game 1 of the Warriors/Rockets series, Harden insinuated that Golden State was able to score easily because of illegal screens that Draymond Green and his teammates set (Green responded to those accusations later). Harden said the same thing after Game 2. But Jackson argued that Harden lost the right to complain about the way the Warriors set screens because, well...
Burned. And just in case you don't think Jackson was taking a direct shot at Harden, he was also quick to retweet this:
Game 3 of the series is tonight. Think we’ll see more Vines like the one above, or has Harden finally had enough of everyone making jokes about his defense?
