at least I can understand he's got little man issues. He does whatever it takes to win......what's Harden's excuse? His will to win is laughable compared to CP3.
So you're saying it's okay to flop if you're a few inches shorter than Harden? What's the cutoff point? 6'2"?
As long as he doesn't get caught doing it and we end up scoring, what's the muthafrackin problem? Anything for the W.
?! Who said it was okay? I said it was easier to understand because he's probably got a little man complex playing with the big boys.
ok i have to admit i loved that CP3 flop. its hilarious. did he get the call for it? doesn't look like he did.
Haren has the audacity to appeal the fine for this smh, this is pocket change compared to what he's earning
Harden needs to stop. It hurts his game in the long run. He needs the refs to to send him to the line consistently. If he gets the reputation of flopping, the refs will less likely give him the benefit of the doubt.
Well that's not how your original post sounded. There are plenty of little guys that don't flop in the NBA.
He has not earned it. To be a superstar, you need to be a strong two way player. Will he be a superstar? I do not see that happen under Mchale. He is not holding harden responsible for his defense and hero balls and this is hurting harden's growth. harden deserve a better coach.

Bucher: Intimidation a factor in NBA flopping epidemic "...James Harden is trying to shame the referee into buying into this shamockery.” http://blog.siriusxm.com/2014/01/02/bucher-intimidation-a-factor-in-nba-flopping-epidemic/
Full quote: Bucher's complaint is stupid. If you get touched while attacking and get fouled of course a player is gonna be mad if it is not called. This is not something new, players have done this for YEARS.
He's using Paul and Harden as examples of stars intimidating refs. Yeah, it's nothing new. The points of Bucher's rant are valid. He's just regurgitating what everyone has been complaining for years.
He's saying just touched, whether or not it was initiated by the offense or defense decides if a foul should be called, so Bucher is saying a lot star players try to intimidate the refs by getting mad about plays that are not fouls. The Rockets coaches & Morey should be trying to take relying on the refs to blow the whistle completely out of Harden's game because most of those calls aren't going to be made in the playoffs.
stars get mad at refs every time they think a call was missed to try to get the refs to give them calls later? this is brand new information. getting to the foul line is a huge part of harden's efficiency. and is a huge part of the efficiency for most stars. and harden's FTA per FGA ratio is pretty much the same in the regular season and the playoffs so there's not much evidence that he won't get calls in the playoffs.
I think CP3 is much worse in this regard, though. I don't really see Harden complaining that much to referees. No more than most star players. Paul is at another level.
