Look at his footwork when defending he is never really "stuck" to the floor, even when he seems to be holding position is always moving a bit his feet which allows him to react easier. Really impressive.

Also, Dort doesn’t try to steal the ball. Other defenders always try steal the ball from Harden which gets them into foul trouble.

So either (1) Dort is the best defender in the league, like ever, because no one else can slow harden down as much or (2) Harden had a few bad possessions and Dort played well a few possessions. Given that Harden scored 38 points, and Dort is only now being recognized as a defender capable of stopping NBA MVP's, option 2 is much more likely. This is like when Delly was the "curry stopper" and then curry dropped 37 on 56% shooting

All of Adams facilitators in game 3 failed to realize that shoulder passes will never be the route against a fast-pace low-to-the-ground defense in the paint. The reason adams got picked off was that none of the passes work to his only advantage in this scenario (height). If he make himself a little bit more mobile and work the paint on a higher elevation, they'll see much more success imo.

I’ve watched Dort all season and he’s an excellent defender. His defence wasn’t a fluke. And to your point there were not many instances (if any) where Dort fouled harden and it wasn’t called. If there is any player in the league who ISNT going to get the calls he wants its Harden.

@@jasoncho140 That's just not true. I saw the entire game and also saw multiple times how Harden brushed off screens and attacked Dort. Do I really need to explain how going _under_ screens while defending Harden is a bad idea? This isn't good defense, this is just lucky. OKC has done this before in the playoffs, eventually they paid the price. They did the same thing with Lillard for a few games last year. There's no waving your arms that will help you once he starts knocking 3 down. But if your complaint is that teams screen to find favorable matchups in the playoffs... I don't know what to tell you. It's what's been done since screening was invented. If you can screen and get Adams to guard Harden... wouldn't you? This is not to say Dort is a bad defender, he's quite good. His penetration defense is beyond elite. But his perimeter defense is very suspect. But I have a feeling that's not his choice but the game plan for Harden, given OKC's history of defending 3pt off the dribble shooters by going under screens.

bluesrockfan36 ya I agree with you, going under screens isn’t a good idea. I think the only reason he does that is so that he can stay on Harden, bcz if you tries to fight through the screen most of the time he is going to get switched off. Harden did a better job and shooting the three when Dort when under in game 4. I never said going under the screen was a good idea I just said that he was good at stopping the drive and avoid fouling.

For those saying "Harden still had more than 30 points" Harden during this series is only 4-19 when guarded by Dort aka Dort Knox that's just 21 percent

Dort Knox doesn't actually work because his name is pronounced without the "T" and is just basically "Door".

Y’all got to start realizing that you be player is guarding a guy the whole game. Like there are times when he isn’t in or even if he is in he still won’t be on him. While Lu Dort was in James Harden got clamped.

As a thunder fan, I’m so happy people are getting to see what an amazing part of the team he is. I have a jersey and no one knows who it is but they do now

Dort is an undrafted rookie and already the best perimeter defender in the game who isn't dirty (P.Bev) or a serial flopper (M.Smart). Game 7 he drops 30 on 6-12 3pt while holding Harden to 17 on 1-9... but Harden makes one good defensive play all season, gets the last minute block and the W. Basketball can be cruel. Nous sommes fiers de vous, Lug!

Could've put credit to his name in the title but nope, gotta click to find out when majority of us already know who it is.

Most of those possessions Dort wasn't guarding and with the Dort-Harden matchup, Harden went 3-16 FG

That shoulder dip while guarding Harden was a thing of beauty 👌🏼

Lol.. Harden had 38 but he held em stop it 🤣🤣

Hardin will figure out how to play this out being the best 1v1 player ever known

Sounds like Harden is gonna drop 40-45 on him next game lol

Definitely noticed Dort's defense.. Reminded me a bit of OG Anunoby only tighter with his body positioning. Very explosive, and I liked how he shrugged off that screen. If he can become skilled enough to space the floor, become a threat from 3, he'll be a key to any contender.

His defense is just really on a different level imma watch the next game cause the way he blocked that shot After avoiding contact was just so satisfying

steven whiters you only have to hit 33% from 3 to average 1 point per possession, while 50% from midrange looks to get 1 point. That’s why he takes only contested 3’s and layups even though he usually has open midrange looks

"Favorable whistles"... I mean you still got consider his crazy high scoring IQ. He gets those calls because of his IQ. People are quick to takeaway from Hardens game but who else is doing what Harden does? He's an all time great scorer.

He’s gotta attack in transition more and be able to shoot pull ups of the screen when fort goes under and he’s gotta shoot of the catch more he’ll be open off the catch and not shoot so he can dribble for 15 seconds same when it’s a 2 on 2 break he could attack but he slows it down to dribble for 15 seconds

He locked harden up in game 2 and did great in game 3 I was telling people he would make a difference after he was out game 1 and people doubted me
