Women Lie, Men Lie, Numbers don’t.

Harden is 11th in FT rate! Behind the Alphabet.

 

Lmfao. Maybe if you were better you’d draw more fouls and wouldn’t have been a sub par player in a sub par league on a sub par team.

 

What is "InternationalBrotherhoodofHoopers"? It's some kind of union or what? How is this organization leader? WTF is this all about?

 

What a hatchet job conveniently during the playoffs. Disgusting garbage.

 

It's funny. Last year everyone was on our side to beat the Warriors. The majority of NBA fans wanted to see us take down the dynasty. This year...it's now everyone hates Harden, we cry too much, we flop too much, we are cheating the game. Talk about a 180.

 

Right or wrong, people don't root for whiners. It's just what it is and the Rockets have taken whining to an extreme. The Rockets should complain if they think it will help them get future calls and win future games, but they have to accept there's a cost to it in popularity (which, really, they shouldn't care about). The bigger concern is whether all the whining and tracking refs will actually hurt them on the court by subliminally irritating refs.

 

And guess what is currently the lead story at ESPN.com, complete with a picture of a wide-eyed shrugging Harden?

Yep: Harden is disrespecting the unwritten rules of the game

No shame. I've never seen an elite-level pro athlete who isn't a jerk get the kind of disrespect and sheer hatred that Harden gets.

 

The title and ESPN cover crap is doing its best to **** on the Rox. I admit that I'm a tough critic on Harden but this dude is a special player and doesn't deserve this type of scrutiny. Everyone interviewed and quoted were scrub as international players and no name scrubsfrom the 90's. There was only one piece of information that I believe is true from that lengthy **** article and this is a quote from an international scrub,
“I think Harden is a great basketball player, but what he ends up doing is counting more on the rules than his skills when it means the most."

 

Pretty ****ing dumb.

The Undefeated should not write articles for Don McLean. He is not their audience.

Likewise, a pretty valid counterpoint is that the Warriors are disrespecting the written rules of the game which were written to specifically forbid the 2017- present Warriors from injuring other players in the playoffs, like they did in 2017.

Anyhow I'd like to see the writer head to the Rucker or Goat park or west 4th cage or even the ****ing Springfield YMCA or whatever and start undercutting guys on jumpers and claim the unwritten rule protection.

 

Did not read, totally bullshit, warriors' players laying on the floor for Half hour after the bump is to show respect for bascketball

 

Lol if you argue that people go, oh Alphabet is a inside player so should have more FTs

 

I guess there's no unwritten playground rule against stacking a team, or constant moving picks and grabbing and holding?

 

Where is that in the rule book? Is that also an unwritten rule? Luz
