James Haren has more FT's than he does FGs :pachaha:

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I can only speak for myself, but the overdependence on them without looking to actively score is a bad habit, and isn't conducive to winning as a #1 option in the long run. I mean we've seen the struggles he's had in the postseason for the last three years now. He's in the same boat as Karl Malone: a player whom maximizes easy scoring opportunities, but has no Plan B when they dry up.

The Rockets as a team are 20th in FTA but second in scoring. How are we getting all those other points. Please advise?

Why are you using team FTAs? Where do you see me talking about the Rockets as a team in that post? I'm talking about Harden as an individual. Did you not read the OP where it states "So far this season he has: 190 FTs and 176 FGs "? Please advise

Of course @inndaskKy would dap this dumb shyt too.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

His last game he had 37 points on 8 made field goals

Ooh so close. Correct answer was assists

Too bad you're a fukking idiot

 

[O.T.I.S.]

They should stop calling it honestly.

Nobody wants to see this nikka shoot 30 FTs a game

So that's the answer? Refs just stop calling fouls for players and teams you don't like?

What does that have to do with Harden's free throw attempts? Did you even bother to read my initial post before quoting it?

- I brought up a point centered around his free throw attempts
- You then ring up a point trying to contest that by talking about team free throw attempts
- You then bring up some irrelevant point about team assists as if that had anything to do with my original point

What is wrong with you?

Are you gonna explain yourself or what @DonKnock?

I enjoy watching Harden play. He's a very cerebral and crafty player. What he actually does to get to the line is not flopping it's initiating contact which most great offensive players of Harden's caliber do.

 

[William F. Russell]

Dude's still balling out and is an early-season favorite for MVP :BruhHard_en:

 

[Big Blue]

Most boring superstar of all time.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Curry misses almost as many shots per game as Harden even attempts breh. Harden's FG% is offset by his ability to get to the line whereas all Curry has is a green light to chuck as many shots as he can to avoid looking like Rajon Rondo out there with the scoring.
