James Harden without the refs is looking like Rick Brunson.

Gimmick basketball player.
Him not getting free throws isnt the problem. Its the fact that his bag is so limited without the freethrow gimmick. A 2 who cant post, doesnt cut, wack triple threat game and doesnt come off screens. Harden is a joke.

He has a quick first step, good handles, can pass well, and he has a good step back

But his actual pure shooting isn't super great - he's a volume scorer and not the most efficient one at that.

As you said, he doesn't cut, doesn't do much off ball, no post game or pivot foot despite his size, his finishing is also not as great as it should be given his size, and he predictably relies on calls to finish at the rim, etc.

He's not just "good", he's all time elite at these things. On the negative side, he makes a lot of lazy mistakes.

Do you have a tracker on my posts?

You’re my biggest fan though. I appreciate it.

He’s everyone’s biggest fan. He’s a fat piece a shyt who can’t move so he posts all day.

The nikka smell like a combination of margarine and must

he's only 'elite' when you can't touch him and have to worry more about his foul baiting than actually stopping him from scoring dude been funny in the light ever since he got benched for josh smith to close out a playoff game but scamgod gonna scam

At least Luka looked good in the Olympics

NBA refs are weirdos.There's certain home stadiums where I feel like they have an odd type of love/bias for that city.It's not always about promoting the big markets.For instance, I hate when my team has to play a road game in either Utah, or Portland.Both those squads get a helluva whistle at home.

Unfortunately I think he'll figure it out. I'm gonna give this at least ten games to see if it's true

Eventually Harden will play his way into shape and get alot better offensively, but it just goes to show you how inflated some of these scoring averages are and how much shyt change when you can't throw your arms into somebody and then get the opportunity to get 2 points at the line

 

[DetroitEWarren]

And nikkas think historically, this nikka is better than D Wade

The step back is a travel.

I’ll be glad when they get rid of that bullshyt too.

nikkas and their stubbornness in understanding the rules.

Playoffs came early

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

It might be a wrap for Harden as an elite player. He's 32 now, never been super athletic, now he's not in great shape.

A lot of minutes and wear and tear on that body... older, slower, and no FT gimmick to rely on. Pack him up

 

[Samori Toure]

LOL. You know that dude doesn't pass shyt in the break room either.
