Matt Barnes is known for being a “defensive stopper” but he couldn’t stop himself from getting his ankles broken courtesy of James Harden. Barnes was out there looking crazy after Harden hit him with a crossover and stutter step and appeared as if he had Barnes on a string. Not too mention it is always worse when you get embarrassed and the guy hits the shot as Harden did in this case.

You can’t fault Barnes too much though because at least he was trying to play defense, unlike most players in the NBA who seem to have forgotten about that side of the ball. If you play tough defense, every once in a while you are gonna get caught with a crossover.
