Refs making Giannis look like Harden tonight with all these free throws on touch fouls. Harden would be averaging 50 points a game if he was getting those kind of calls.
I don’t think i can ever handle watching this many games with Giannis in them again. Absolutely astonishing that this brand of basketball gets everyone hyped up to the point of giving this guy 2 MVPs. Disgraceful
the nba creates stars, fiba exposes them. Thats why coach k named harden team captain of team usa in 2014 fiba and they won gold. Because harden believe it or not is not a manufactured star like giannis. Hardens game contrary to ben taylor is very portable( we saw that this year with the nets) It was funny watching team usa try to ref bait againist nigeria the other night and fiba refs werent having it i remember on a podcast nate duncan stating that james harden has the largest free throw rate dropoff in league history from regular season to playoff going back to 1982. Every other player from mj, to kobe, and wade all got officiated the same or saw minimal drop off in their free-throw rates from regular season to playoffs they dont call the same fouls in the playoffs only means for james harden in any other sport, is their such a thing a playoff ball/strike a playoff roughing the passer in the nfl lol only the nba does this, and dumb casuals who dont do their research cant see that the league has that in place only for harden. Didnt dirk nowitizki score 48 points againist okc in 2011 playoffs and shot 24/24 from the line. Dident wade shoot the most free-throws in a 6 game finals series againist the mavs in 2006
He's basically Shaq redesigned by the basketball gods for the modern game. Heaven help the league if he ever perfects a controlled half court game.
Yep. I'm certain that Foster put something on the ball to make sure Giannis makes those FTs. You just can't beat Scott Foster.
Would Houston have a set up like that with fans out in the streets for the Rockets watching the game?
i mean how does he still get away with it? CP3 openly complained about his playoff record with Foster and yet Foster still gets assigned? Makes no sense to me how no one is outraged about this
