The way Durant gets half is points from the FT line is disgusting

Because players have actual finishing ability and don't rely on calls to dictate their game. This is why it's so hard for people to judge Harden's ability because they don't understand the significance his flopping and favorable calls, allows him to avg 26 points per game. It's a sad state to see Harden who has 1/8th of the finishing ability of Rose, yet he gets TWICE the amount of calls when taking it to the rim.

What players you speak of that have the finishing ability that don't need to draw fouls? :duck:

Players that don't allow calls to dictate their games:

1) All the players that don't get superstar calls
2) All the players that do get superstar calls but don't allow it to dictate the majority of their game.

That's why Harden is an anomaly in this case.

What good players are those? :heh:

And there's a reason why non superstars don't get those calls.

Every great scorer that has ever played in this league gets to the line more than anyone else. Smh @ anyone getting mad at a player for taking advantage of the rules of the game.

Wait, so Harden is better at finishing than Ellis, Evans and Rose?

Taking advantage of the officials/'push for a star'/finding loop holes in the game sounds more like it. They said they gonna do their best to elimate that shyt this season - yet I still see Harden out there flopping his ass off.

What makes me mad is that he settles for jumpshots, more than any other superstar in the league and still gets that many fts. :mindblown:

Nope, but LeBron and Wade are. :lolbron:

How can you get calls when you're settling for jumpshots all day long like you make it seem?

Rip through move... you should know, he did that shyt like 10x against your team last game. :comeon:

When he's not settling for jumpers, he has those occasional drives where he has no intention of scoring the basket. :shaq2:

I saw his shot chart, he takes more jumpers than a 34 year old :childplease:

:gag:

@CantStop is a dirty vagabond but how the hell do you not know about his little swing through move he does to draw fouls :what:

It's non shooting foul but once the other team is in the penalty then you get two shots at the line. Durant is not the first or last to use that move.

Pisses me the fuxk off seeing his flopping ass get to the line so many times. He doesn't even try to do the stuff guys like PP and kobe do, he just makes the slightest contact like that bytchboy terrorist harden with another player and gets rewarded for two undeserving FTA. 80%+ of his FGA are jumpshot's and he's getting nearly 10+ FTA a game.
