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

[Da King]

Like he isn't already (without the calls)? If you're wanting to single out anyone it should be Harden.

Harden on a wack team so it's not important


Durant going to be taking 15-20FTs in close playoff games, player just sniff this dude and refs thinking of calling a flagrant

Im serious, with how popular flopping became, why aren't more players just pushing their arms out into their defenders when driving to pick up calls? It encourages guys to reach in and its easy to get the call.

That's the benefit of being skinny as shyt and a stone cold scorer. Everything looks rougher when it happens to him.

[The War Report]

This thread should be about Harden because Durant can at least score from any where on the floor. I can hardly say that about Harden. Were people making threads about Wade and LeBron the last two years when they led the league in FTAs?

 

[360dagod]

I remember when Stak5 was playing D last year,and that nikka Durant was getting calls as soon as he went to the hole...

Im like,this nikka is almost 7feet and you cant even play defense on him....

I literally was going crazy in the Spurs/OKC series last year

 

[I'm Chillin]

Spurs fans shook

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.

That wingspan has a lot more to do with it than his frame.

Also, he's a 90% FT shooter. He should be getting to the line whenever he can.

 

[Ashyneezz]

The NBA has been doing this shyt for years though, every guy whose next gets this treatment.

I saw Dwyana Wade win a championship from the FT line they wanted another star so bad.

Stupid fukking league.

Ish still get me

Dirk should have two rings
