James Harden doesn’t really have this whole defense thing down lately.

A day after letting New York Knicks forward Lance Thomas waltz in for a wide-open layup, the Houston Rockets shooting guard handed Detroit Pistons big man Aron Baynes an easy shot on a silver platter Monday.

Instead of grabbing Ersan İlyasova’s miss, the Beard shuffled to his right and watched idly as Baynes swooped in and converted the bucket. Keep in mind that this was under four minutes into the game.

This isn't exactly MVP-caliber effort, James.
