I love Harden but damn, dude is playing like hot garbage. needs to stop forcing and pass the ball once in a while
IIRC, FIBA rules allow more hand-checking and contact. Some of the stuff that draws fouls in the NBA don't get called under FIBA rules.
ok so harden is sucking at offense Im guessing? i just tuned in after both curry and harden failed to get a whistle. How is Harden doing other than scoring though? Has he set up his team mates. I won't ask about defense because it looks like brazil doesnt have anyone that's a threat
He is playing ok. Just that his shot is off which can happen at times but he is still finding ways to get to the line and most importantly seems engaged on D
There running the whole offense thru him and the team is def looking for him as the leader when they need some play making. His defense has been great and his pick and roll is always good. I think other than the missed shots he's playing great and leading the way.
Curry wanted no part of defending anyone at that moment. Just two lazy reaching/positioning fouls in a row and he's on the bench for a while.
he looks the same way he did at the end of the regular season and playoffs not fighting around screens and driving into contact looking for fouls lol
