For most missed threes by a single player per ESPN twitter. That’s what he was doing, it all makes sense now, he wanted that record!
1-17. You’d think after missing 7 or 8 maybe it’s not your night from deep and perhaps try something different. Nah... spam more 3’s until you lose the game. Something something prolific shooter, generational talent, Danuel House sucks and it’s all MDA’s fault.
This is where having a coach that holds players accountable, and a GM that promotes deviation for the "analytics" would come in handy. With Harden he's either absurdly hot or ice cold from 3. There is no middle ground. He rarely turns a bad shooting night into a good shooting night. He just starts off cold and carries it through the entire game. Eventually a coach would step in an tell him to stop shooting, because he just doesnt have it, but dantoni is so reliant on harden and morey so committed to the "analytics" that he lets harden continue to chuck as much bullshit as he wants. No way coaches like pop would put up with these type of shooting performances from harden without ripping into him.
