I see a lot of evidence the nba is gonna crack down on the 3 point shooting fouls and in general shooting fouls. James has built his game around getting calls. Unfortunately, all the haters have used beard as the poster boy for the hate. I have a bad feeling next year the nba will be calling the game unfairly on James and will really hurt his strongest part of his game. The beard already gets hacked with no calls more than any other player, James and the rockets need to be ready for more unfair hacking next year.
James really only started the 3 shot foul thing in force this season. He scored fine the previous 4 years as a Rocket.
Harden didn't really start doing that 3 pt foul bait until this season. He always adds something new to his game. Wouldn't be too worried.
I give this garbage thread by htownidiot 3 pages max just like most of his other threads That is if _holic doesnt come in and spam the hell out of this thread with his copy paste regurgitated essays....
Here is the thing . . . . .. IMO . . . . . . *IF* they start that . . . .then alot of folx in the league is going to be hurt THE ONLY WAY it hurts Harden more than anyone else is. . . if he is specifically targetted , . . .. which the NBA has shown to do Honestly . . . .If this goes through . . I'm telling ALL MY GUARDS to BODY THE SH*T OUT OF STEPH from the Half court til the 3 pt line Jordan rules type of bodying . . .. . I think they may not make them SHOOTING FOULS but they are still fouls Rocket River Make them count
James can score without calls. But if the refs are going to give him free and easy calls he will do the smart thing and use that to his advantage. If Silver walks into Harden's house and tells him he will never get a foul call again, James will adapt. People **** on him for playing smart.
James will find a way to fill the stat sheet... while making a buttload of money and getting constant attention from big booty strippers... I am not worried about James Harden...
I got no problem with James catching a defender reaching... but when he started that whole using his off arm to hook the defender that's coming off the screen - and then shot put up a one handed shot to try and draw the shooting foul... that was way over the line... i put that in the same category as floppers... ...jus sayin...
I don't like it either, but I'm not going to blame James for it. Refs gave him that call all season long.
Call or no call - it ain't right... hooking the guy and pulling him into you is not a legal move... just cause you can sell it and get the wrong call made - don't make it right to do it... CP3 and his no touch head jerks and collapse flop can get him the call too.. again, don't make it right.... most everybody is gonna fudge a little bit... but there's crossing the line of good sportsmanship... imo....
