Re: 1/15 - 1/21 Games Discussion Thread

Isn't that kind of the point though? If every other superstar were capable of drawing fouls and scoring with the same efficiency and volume that Harden is, they'd be doing it. He's on a historic scoring streak and he's doing it at a level of efficiency that literally two other players in the entire league have been able to match this year.

Fact is, people just aren't as impressed with Harden because his most elite skill is the fact that he has a master's degree in hustling refs into blowing the whistle. Calling it "scoring efficiency" doesn't somehow make it more impressive or entertaining.

Nets scored 60 points in the 4th quarter and OT last night.

17 Mins of Basketball, BTW.

I'm telling you. That PlayStation Vue split screen came in handy last night. I would of missed the whole thing.

People just hate Harden. Lol I can understand. He doesn't play a style I exactly love. But what he's doing is pretty legendary. I don't care if he jacks 60 shots a game. He stays this efficient and they win its impressive.

Now he's gotta do something in the playoffs though. That's been his Achilles heel.

I've said the plenty of time. There are other players that do a few things like Harden. But Harden brings the worst all together into one package.

Only the Knicks could travel across a whole *** planet to lose a game on a goaltend.

Doesn't look like goaltend to me. But everyone else thinks so

So what happened in the 4th ? Was it a tank job like the box score looks like with 11 points in the 4th

Nobody hates him, they hate his style, lol.

But if you don’t care if he jacks 60 shots game to get his points, that’s cool with me. I just wish people would be consistent with it because other players would not get the same treatment for whatever reason and would be accused of being “all about themselves”.

Personally, I’m annoyed about it today because they lost and we’re focused on the points when we damn sure wouldn’t be doing this for anyone else. My team won the game, dammit lol

Well yea. But I I like Westbrook too. But Westbrook just jacks too many damn threes and is horribly inefficient. Both guys could improve their turnovers dramatically too.

I think i just try to enjoy the game. So many unique players that are just fun to watch.

Also I think the playoff change his game. Teams start picking him up full court. Making it take long for him to get into that dribbling. And also the refs aren't calling those stupid calls. Or teams have wised up by the time the playoffs start.

This its this fact. He is only shooting 43.8% compared to some one like Curry who is at 49.1. He is shooting 11.6 FTA compared to Curry who is at just 5 a game. Harden may get fouled more than Curry but no way is he getting fouled more than twice has much has Curry. Its not like Harden is driven to the basket a lot more than Curry or something in fact Harden is averaging 13 3 point attempts a game compared to Curry who is act 11.8. How does some one shooting so many Jumps shoots get so many foul shoots? Its just BS I have watched basketball for like has long has I can remember. I am 30 later this year and I have never seen some one get the kind of calls harden gets not even close not even Jordan. If you take away the BS calls Harden gets he would only be like a 40% FG shooter and his points would be down and his tunovers would be up even more. He already turns the ball over a lot more than some one like Curry and I known Curry has more talent around him but you cant really use that has the reason Curry turns the ball over less because even if you compared turn over numbers from Curry's worst year its lower than several harden years and Curry didn't have all the talent around him than and also Curry has improved his ball handling a lot sense that year.

I’m pretty vocal on Harden here, but just for the record I don’t hate him, I don’t not enjoy basketball because of him.. I’m just not on board with labeling him things that I don’t necessarily think he fits and personally don’t want to see a player who’s most valuable asset might just be how well he can draw fouls rack up MVP after MVP..
