If your point was he should not rely on those kind of attempts then I agree. But if your point is those are not legit fouls when defenders hit across his arm, then i I don't with that argument.
25 free throws. Refficiency.

Winning games with that ass squad he deserves it
Harden's 12 made field goals were second only to Kevin Martin (shocker!) for fewest in a 50-point game.
"Efficiency"
LOL Efficiency!
That is not even Basketball![]()
Some of you guys complaining about free throws are the same guys harping on tony parkers advanced stats. Maybe I'm too stupid to understand advanced stats but isn't this one reason Parker has bad stats...didn't get to the line enough?
Some of y'all should just say one and two guards suck, since there is a habit of tearing each one down for various reasons. If spurstalk had it's way the nba would be ginosteps all length teams across the board.
To bad nature will continue to produce men around 6ft in greater numbers than 6'5'' and above. Damn you god for making short people and causing the nba to suck.
You're so attached to Enrique's that you're rushing in to defend his honor in a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with him.
FWIW, the "ginosteps all length teams" would be a lot more watchable than Enrique or Choke Paul dribbling the air out of the ball and hoisting a brick, or Harden's nightly flop festivals.
see glad we agree. You just hate players under 6'3'' nothing wrong with that. I'm not suggesting your real MO is the belief that taller guys have bigger s. You explained yourself, it's basketball reasons.
Everyone knows why Harden gets calls. He initiates contact, which is a legit skill. He is also a legit shooter and as a defense you can't really let him shoot open shots. You can trash Harden and love Curry, trash curry lv harden, but if you hate both maybe basketball isn't your thing?
Hou: J. Harden 44 Pts, 4 Reb, 7 Ast, 2 Stl, 2 Blk
how many free throws
22. Carrying McHale is carrying McHale.
It's amazing this guy averages 10 freakin free throws a game and over 1/3 of his shots are three pointers. This league has gone ultra-Charmin soft.
is it actually enjoyable to watch the rockets?
It's not enjoyable watching them get outrebounded every game and blow 20 point leads.
Or watching the biggest flopping got in history get bailed out to the tune of a million free throws per game.
My Harden's a valuable player fosho but not most valuable!!!!
You don't like it. That's fine, he is helping the team win despite key injuries. If the other team is in foul trouble, you attack the rim. You attack it to get them in foul trouble, it helps his team. But you should be the last one to talk about free throws with all the whining flopping vaginas on your squad.

Flopping isn't okay when anyone does it. Harden just happens to be the worst offender this league has ever seen.
When actually good players attack the rim, they're trying to get relatively easy, efficient baskets, and the foul trouble on the opposing team is just a side benefit. Harden, on the other hand, drives to the rim to invent contact and get phantom free throws because he's too much of a pussy to play the game for real. He's the real-life version of cheesers on Madden.
good Players that attack the basket are trying to get And 1s a lot of the time. Alot of good players look to initiate contact when attacking the rim. Not everyone can do it. And you condoned the Clips flopping in the game against the Rockets. So you cant condone it one second and condemn it another.
There's a difference between drawing contact and completely inventing it while chucking the ball in the air and getting bailed out.
Harden is a pussyPERIOD
Yet you just said those players are only focused on getting easy efficient baskets. So you admit now they are also looking to draw contact?
