The Rockets simply don't have an answer for the Clippers' defensive strategy in the halfcourt.
They occasionally run two players at Harden, which has turned him into a passing point guard.
But the Clippers have been providing plenty of help as well. Harden has recorded 12 and 11 assists in Houston's two losses in this series -- but the operative word there is "losses". The Clippers are willing to let other players try to beat them, and so far they haven't shown they can.
The Clippers locked in defensively in the final three quarters, though, and forced Harden to play at their pace. They forced Harden to give the ball up early in pick-and-rolls and made other guys make passes or shots to beat them.

Every great PG is defended the same way.
Too bad the great Howard can't help him. What happened to how great he is?

I think Harden is playing well. Not to his level but still passable. They really miss Beverly. He is key to how they want to play.
