Who Would Lead The NBA in Scoring if Free Throws Weren't Counted?

So hes a good scored, that doesnt change the fact that he gets to the free throw line more then he should. The fouls they call on nikkas trying to guard him

Houston will choke in the playoffs anyways, so the Har_en stans better enjoy the regular season for now

@Cynical Thoughts he consistently goes out like a chump in big games. The only exception I found was game 5 of the 2012 finals where the starters besides KD shot 8-35 on the game. Take a look at this right here.


Heliflopter Har_en in the 2012 finals vs Miami: 12.4 points per game on a .375/.318/.792 shooting slash.

2013 quarterfinals vs Oklahoma City: 26.4 points on a .391/.341/.803 shooting slash while averaging 4.5 turnovers per game. He went 7-22 with 4 turnovers in game 6.

2014 quarterfinals vs Portland: 26.8 points on a .376/.296/.900 shooting slash. Called to switch off the ball on the final play where Dame got open for the buzzer beater. Was supposed to be his responsibility on the play.

2015 Western conference finals vs Golden State: 2-11 with 12 turnovers in game 5 vs the warriors. Read that again. More turnovers than shot attempts. This was also the same postseason the rockets made their big rally against the clippers with him on the bench.

2016 quarterfinals vs golden state: 26.6 points on a .410/.310/.844 shooting slash with 26 turnovers for an average of 6.5 turnovers per game.

I don’t think we need to rehash game 6 this year. Dude stays going out in humiliating fashion

Averaged less than 20 in the 2017 playoffs when you subtract FTs

Almost a third of his points (101 out of 313) were FTs

I'm legit surprised.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

He gets called for less than previous years because of the “Harden Rule” that affects only him and no other players...and still at the top of the league in scoring they’re gonna have to come up with another way to lowball him

 

[AlfredTheButler]

he'd league the league in scoring but his TS% would drop like a rock thus his 22ppg would be one of the most inefficient in the nba

His usage rate is damn near 37% what do nikkas expect. The fact remains this nikka always bombs out of the postseason.

yup*

Like the king don’t exist

Now post playoff numbers

If we look at the actual drop:

Harden: From 31.5 to 22.7 a drop of 8.8
Lebron: From 26.6 to 22.1 a drop of 4.5
Curry: From 26.8 to 22.1 a drop of 4.7
Durant: From 26 to 21 a drop of 5
Westbrook: From 25.1 to 20.4 a drop of 4.7

So yes, Harden's point differential is larger than most of these guys by almost double on a lot of occasions if you take away free throws and is one of the top guys in attempts so what are we doing here?

OP is actually hurting his own argument

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Its a chain reaction...players know harden gets benefit of doubt so they arent an aggressive and harden can be in attack mode

OP doesn't care one way or the other. Just saw the tweet and know it's a hot topic on here.
