If not Devin Harris, who???
Earl Watson, Matt Wilks, Jarrett Jack, Deron Williams, Shaun Livingston, Marcus Banks, and Jacque Vaughn could make an argument, but, like Harris, none of them makes very much difference at that end. With the new rules, there's no such thing as a truly good point guard anymore; all a guard can do is funnel and try to contain the damage.
since that's his player, who would else would he say? it's all about giving your player props through the media to make him play at a high level. it's psych 101.right now...

Who's better? (that actually plays a lot)
honestly, i dont see anyone that really is. maybe Allen Iverson, but his defense is mainly playing the passing lanes well, which Harris is also good at. but i dont think any PG in the west takes as many charges as Harris and plays the solid overall defense that he can.
i love the way harris has learned how to take a charge, he's gotten so good at it this season

I'm suprised Leo isn't nominating a PG from pride or some other Jap/Slav org.
Leo, you know basketball about as bad as you know MMA.
Harris has definitely gotten better at the defensive end of the court but I don't see enough of the other guys to be able to have an opinion. You have to see these guys a lot to be able to know and I doubt there are many on here that have.right now...

I've seen T.Parker and Nash a lot and Harris is definitely better on the defensive end than those two but that's not saying much. My sister could break down Nash
For Harris and _irk, it's taking a charge.
For Manu, it's flopping.

i think earl watson is the better defender. he averages just as many steals and blocks as harris but in less minutes per game. him an harris are neck and neck for the best pg defenders.
Could be. I've been very impressed with his overall play in the 2 games he's played vs. the Mavs. I think he should start over Luke but I can only base that opinion on those 2 games.
well its cuz Manu is already laying on the ing ground before someone even drives, and he still manages to get a call. sure, Dirk and Harris flop, as all players in the league do. but Manu takes it to another level. Hes like the new Vlade Divac or something.

To answer at the question, Harris is playing very good defense this year, even if he is maybe not the best defensive PG in the west.
there's nothing wrong with this argument. Avery's right
I thought it was Mike Bibby.
harris is overrated
yeah, he is.

I thought that was pretty funny too. Wait for the "but Manu takes it to another level" reply. Oops, it's already there!

LOL, that was ALMOST a witty response! oh wait... ... no it wasnt. dammit.
Devin Harris is easily the best point guard defender in the entire NBA. Forget about just the Western Conference. He's better than Hinrich or Kidd too. Watson is a solid defender, but he doesn't have as quick of feet as Harris. Harris almost always appears to stay in front of his man in a squared defensive position. He has quick hands as well as feet. And, he has nice long arms to bother not only the dribble, but both pass attempts and shot attempts. I think he's the best point guard defender in the league, and by a comfortable margin.
Earl Watson
Mike Bibby
That was brutal Stretch. Save that smack for the smack thread!
