Another Friendly Update 9 Turnovers tonight brings him up to 319 total turnovers in 69 regular season games 13 games to go and 47 turnovers to tie the unwanted record. Otherwise good game from Harden
I'm so sick and tired of his turnovers! Most over rated player in the NBA. He is a big reason why our team's record sucks!
He just needs to average 3.6 turnovers a game from here on out to get the record, he's averaging 4.6 a game now. He's got this in the bag. He might set a record that lasts decades.
no way. Because somewhere, right now, out in the heartland, there's a kid in a driveway stroking his make-believe beard, walking the ball slowly up the court, and practicing passing the ball over the neighbor's fence. He will follow in the Beard's footsteps, and will eventually surpass his hero's achievements.
When Curry broke the NBA record for 3s in a single season in 2013, no one said the record might "lasts decades." And indeed, he reset the record twice more. And could do it again next year. Why not give Harden the same respect?
In the press conference after Harden's 13 turnover game 5 against the Warriors he singled out turnovers as the one thing he would need to work on in the offseason. Now he's about to smash the turnover record. It really highlights how little he worked during the offseason.
I'm not going to hate on Harden too much here, because he does so many other things well, but the turnover thing is grotesque; I hate watching that loop-de-loop pass he attempts that invariably delivers the ball to a defender. Harden didn't work on his game at all over the summer. Traveled, relaxed, banged a Kardashian, partied. Hopefully a real coach will put a foot in his ass at the Olympics.

That's not the reason for his turnovers. It's throwing those dumb passes: cross court, one handed, flashy, lazy, between 2/3 players, low bounces etc.
