    Whatever happened to "the league doesn't want Harden to shoot free throws" narrative?

    Well the Nets part of this discussion has swerved into this weird you might be insane territory.

    Let’s test out the theory that I’m a Harden only fan with endless amounts of “unfair Curry criticisms at every corner”

    My last couple posts in the Curry thread…Made in late May of this year. 6 months ago. “At every corner”

    Nope. Nothing there unfairly criticizing Curry.

    Maybe we should go back a little further. “At every corner”

    How unfair of me. Such criticism.

    He could, but that is not the game plan and it isn't as easy as that sounds. You need the guy to make the shot as well.

    Nothing egregious there. Then why would you label me as a "Curry-only" fan? In your opinion, how have I unfairly praised him?

    So you were wrong on both accounts? Yes?

    And now since you have realized you were wrong on both points and have zero way to wiggle out of it you have tried venture off into some other discussion having nothing to do with the original points you were trying to argue.

    The Curry thread is essentially 50% posts made by you bending over backwards arguing on Curry’s behalf while the other 50% is others taking turns arguing with you.

    And that’s where we will end it.

    James Harden averaging 9 assists and 5 turnovers per game. That’s a 1.8 ratio. His career is 1.78 What does that mean? Nothing has changed. He’s still a turnover machine and he’ll never win a Championship being that careless and giving up the ball at the rate he does. Should’ve kept Dinwiddie and moved Harden to the 2. Oh wait Harden refuses to move without the ball and he needs the rock in his hands to get his own shot so that wouldn’t have worked either. Cannot play with him. Cannot win with him. Cannot coach with him. Can’t do it!

    “d-whistle” HA! Thats cute.

    Here’s some facts for you.

    Dwyane Wade: 16 seasons. 7.1 FTA per game. 7,463 Free Throws Attempted.

    James Harden: 15 games into his 13th season 8.7 FTA per game. 7,746 Free Throws Attempted.

    There’s a difference between Wade’s fouls and Harden’s as well. It’s surprising Wade lasted 16 seasons at the level he did considering the punishment he took early on in his career. Dude was fearless/relentless attacking the hoop.

    Here’s a bonus fact Steph Curry >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> James Harden.

    And my arguments on Curry's behalf....are they unfairly in his favor?

    I was right about you overlooking other teams' improvements. I was wrong about you being a Harden-only fan who unfairly criticized Curry. In that thread, you were mainly deceptive about Harden, not Curry.

    I expect a big game from Harden with Durant out tonight.
    Harden is a much better player when he's able to dominate the ball and have more shots/looks.
    Just like last season when Harden had his best stretches when either Irving or Durant was out, look for vintage Harden against a bad Magic team.
