    you can't really be this dense, right? the entirety of your short posting career here must be an intentional trolling endeavor, correct?

    harden plays 78 games while embiid plays 64 so your trolling ass only wants to consider FT totals for the season. GTFO

    Sigh. Not everyone who doesn't blindly agree with everything is a troll.

    Ok, I took the top 10 in FTA last season and divided FT attempts by FG attempts. The percentages are:
    Harden 45%
    Giannis 55%
    Embiid 54%
    Griffin 41%
    PG13 33%
    Gobert 73% (wow!)
    Lillard 33%
    Durant 37%
    Randle 45%

    Yes, bigs historically shoot more FTs, Harden's doing just fine compared to any other wing/guard, and right there with/ahead of some of the bigs (Griffin and Randle).

    My contention is that the rockets ALREADY used this info for evidence of tampering by the refs? And, the rockets system of iso and three balls and Harden’s (now Westbrook’s) game is contingent on getting easy bucket or getting to the foul line. They clearly saw a trend... one that is clearly a deciding factor especially in critical games... so as to be able to predict projected wins.
