VIDEO: Harden's suspect defense on full display once again

Basketball coaches at every level loathe an apathetic approach on the defensive end.

For the 2015-16 iteration of the Houston Rockets, coordinated and fully-engaged defensive efforts have been about as frequent an occurrence as a lunar eclipse.

During Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, James Harden reminded us why his team ranks in the bottom third of the league across most defensive statistical categories.

On this play, DeAndre Jordan loses his man on a screen, putting the onus on Harden to step into the lane to prevent the Clippers big man from getting to the rim unimpeded.

Apparently, defense has been outlawed in southeast Texas.
