Utah tried a radical approach to defending James Harden in Game 1. Should they stick with it for Game 2?
shared video of another possession in which Ricky Rubio begged Harden to blow by him with a right-handed dribble:
Apparently, there may be something to starting a defensive possession almost behind the ball-handler. Because during the regular season, when Utah wasn't employing The Milwaukee Approach, Houston only scored 113 points in the 123 possessions Rubio defended Harden. That's even better than the Defensive Rating those Bucks guards had against him.
If they are determined to push ahead with it, though, they might want to consider a different sacrificial lamb at the top. If you're going to sit on Harden's left shoulder like that, you need to be able to get back into the play in a jiffy or get a block or deflection or two from behind.
