Somehow all the media attention is on Hack-a-Shaq when Harden's bull style of play is the real problem. Hack-a-Shaq is a situational strategy, Harden flops and jerks his head back to get calls literally all game. It's unwatchable.
Anyone who thinks James Harden is a MVP level guy also must have loved the game tonight. Free throw shooting contest, with Houston racking up 64 FTA (intentional fouling partly to blame).
How can anyone pay to watch that ?

It's unwatchable sure, but on the replays the foul is almost always there. It's almost always there on everyone though, they just don't call it. Wild hair and the beard are tools to get ref attention.
How the that happened? It thought it was a joke, 64 ft for Rox, wasnt Uncle Tom saying hack a donkey should be banned?
So did Pop, but they both said it's in the rules and whatever they have to do within the rules to win they will.
So you only have a problem when a player can make the free throws?
Yeah but Uncle Tom was complaining too much, saying Demonkey was staring at him like saying ¨you guys gotta stop this¨ every time he was hacked, seems nobody has nothing to say about hacks now that Spurs are done for the season, or maybe Im wrong and there will be some media treatment.
Disgusting
I have a problem when a player literally doesn't even try to play basketball and only ever tries to refball his way to the line. On the rare occasions where he doesn't get the foodstamps, he just lazily chucks up bad shots and is a turnover machine.So you only have a problem when a player can make the free throws?
BTW, it's funny how Dumbjohn was nowhere to be found after Game 1 but is all over the place now.
Needing 64 free throws to barely beat Junior and Crawful at home
But in the same sentence earlier, you are saying it's ok to send players to the free throw line who are ty at making free throws. So you really don't mind free throw attempts unless said player is good at them.
All.over the place? I've posted in 2 or 3 threads. Calm your s.BTW, it's funny how Dumbjohn was nowhere to be found after Game 1 but is all over the place now.

I mind when free throws aren't earned by being legitimately fouled. Even the Hack-a-Shaq strategy requires intentional fouls. Harden can just jerk his head back, flop, or jump into players and get rewarded every time with free throws. There's a difference.
And with the way he plays, he'd better make his free throws. Not like he can do anything else really, considering how badly he gets exposed in the rare games where the refs don't buy his bull .
Okay. Like I said, you don't mind guys going to the free throw line when they suck at free throws. Can't be okay for one and not the other. Either you hate the attempts or you don't. Earned or not.
Nope. I've clearly explained multiple times now that free throws are fine if they're a result of the player actually being fouled, not if they're foodstamps given out for Harden's acting jobs. It has nothing to do with whether or not they can make them.
And really, my original point was that it's hypocritical of the league to address Hack-a-Shaq when Harden's playstyle is even more unwatchable to the casual fan for a lot of the same reasons.
So if Harden got to the line a lot and couldn't make them, you would still have a problem? Ok then.
Yes I would, actually, because he'd still be interrupting the flow of the entire game from start to finish with his schtick, and he'd still be getting opposing players in fraudulent foul trouble.
What's sad is that Djohn is forced to defend Harden's style of play but we all know he doesn't enjoy any of that

"J Crossover" 6-22, 1-8 from 3.
37% in the postseason. Guy is the hottest of trash.

What's funnier is spurfan ting on it when Harden is a carbon copy of ManuWhat's sad is that Djohn is forced to defend Harden's style of play but we all know he doesn't enjoy any of that
Manu actually drove to the rim to score and not to force contact and nah-uh you don't get to make that claim when one is a winner, clutch playoff performer and the other is nothing has a knack of disappearing in these months.What's funnier is spurfan ting on it when Harden is a carbon copy of Manu
Here are the links of their career stats:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/...ginobma01.html 4.3 FTA average and never averaged more than 6 FTA per game.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/...hardeja01.html 7.2 FTA average and 10.2 FTA per game in his prime
But go on tell me how you enjoy watching Harden shoot freethrows.
Both are great third options, though only one shows up in the playoffs.What's funnier is spurfan ting on it when Harden is a carbon copy of Manu
Prime Manu was an Oscar worthy flopper. It's hypocritical.Manu actually drove to the rim to score and not to force contact and nah-uh you don't get to make that claim when one is a winner, clutch playoff performer and the other is nothing has a knack of disappearing in these months.

Indeed he was. And he topped out at 6 FTA per game. Not sure what Harden is @ 10+
