[NY Daily News] The NBA Just Began Its War Against James Harden

a team isn't able to choose who takes the FT in the last 2 minutes. its a foul shot and possession if there's a foul away from the ball

 

Haha, another writer showing his colors and crass, firmly on the Hate on Harden bandwagon.

"minor win for the good guys" (continuing the narrative that Harden is a "bad guy")
"annnoying"
"loathed"
"stop and flail"
"unwatchable"
"foul-hunting"
"less inclined to crash into a defender"
"slip and sue" (oh boy that's the low blow, lol)

I find it difficult to read an article that's a hit piece thinly veiled as infomative. BTW, Kyle Wagner must be a HUGE Rocket fan because we have to be the only team he watches if he thinks Harden is the only player doing it, Harden is just better then everyone else.

 

So after looking at his twitter page and his reply to Moreys tweet...

This is just another angry LOF with a vendetta against Harden, Morey and The Rockets?

One of his more recent articles was defending Lin after his crying NBA gave up on me speech. Included in the article, of course, was how playing next to Harden “good luck getting touches in that backcourt” didn’t help him. Even though when Paul was here he had the ball 6th most in the entire NBA.

Maybe jus maybe you have to earn the right to have the ball. lol

And you gotta love that it’s apparently an openly racist LOF when the trademark defense of their boy is usually racism.

 

unfu*kingbelievable

 

Maybe they can adopt the soccer rule. You shoot from where the foul occurred. That would eliminate a lot of fouls under the basket.

 

Exposed. The writer should be banished to China as a roasted duck like his hero Lin.

 

I don't think Kyle Wagner should call Harden "n*gger" . . . Wagner is not black or anything.

 

The media is lebron friendly. The east has nothing accept Giannis and embiid so they need a narrative.


Giannias, Blake griffin, and cry baby embiid all the east got right now. Steven a smith is biggest celebrity on east coast.

 

no worries, Harden will always be a step ahead of this league

 

All or nothing then. Ok. I misinterpreted that one. Imagine if it was only 1 shot for one point.

 

I am a big proponent of free speech and the right of people to say whatever they want; but this is absolutely absurd. This piece never passed the scent test, it is something I would read on a shitty Spurs message board and the fact that this clown has expressed his bias with racial slurs? Simply unacceptable and they need to issue an apology to Harden and their readers.

Contrar opinions are fine, if they are supported with evidence and presented as such. This crap fails on all accounts.

On a side note I don’t see how you can be a fan of the NBA and hate black people or be xenophobic.

 

Rockets can't depend on trade controversy as a slippery slope to thrust james harden into the mvp controversy. If Harden aint go to FIBA then MVP is out of the question especially after this past FIBA team did not even get bronze medal.

 

Im more worried about the traveling change

 

I like that!

 

is that real?

 

I'm not sure the rule will improve the flow and pace of the game. Doesn't it encourage more fouls? I don't see that helping with the flow and pace.

 

Sounds like nothing has changed. Depending on the severity of that foul 1FT attempt can get you 1, 2 or 3 pts.

 

Osamer bin Hardin.

 

In case any of you were wondering what this smug pr!ck looks like, there's a pic of him here:

I couldn't find any mention of his tweet slurring Harden anywhere (except in this thread on ClutchFans). I know people can (and usually do) delete idiotic threads they know will get them in hot water, but for something like this, you can usually find at least one other source. That said, the font of that tweet is a perfect match for the standard Twitter font, so who knows? Could be legit.

 

Ask the Jazz fans.
