    This year he's drop 4 percent to an 82 percent ft shooter. it's so rare seeing him miss multiple free throws. he has missed a couple crucial free throws in the past couple games especially tonight.

    You know how when you create a player and you boost one attribute but you have to take away from another?

    his free-throw shooting and overall clutch abilities have taken a downfall. We're going to need him to be way more clutch if we want to be the great teams

    and I'm not just talking about this season

    Because apparently basketball skills are a zero sum game.

    It feels like he's always missed big free throws. No problems hitting the clutch field goal, but for some reason, he seems to miss big free throws a lot.

    Until Harden get's as bad as Brick Anderson, I don't have too many complaints.

    He's all up in his own head. I imagine he'll turn it around, but it's becoming a thing worth paying attention to.

    He needs to get off that plate-less leg press machine after the games and get back on the court to shoot free throws instead

    I think he is not using his legs enough. Maybe working out too much and legs are shot so he has to compensate by using more wrist.

    Same could be said for his shooting lately. Not enough leg on his jumpers and his shooting percentages are dipping too.

    nothing to be worried about, still hitting a good clip, only the past few games he has missed a few. I'm sure he will work on them

    When you are good at Xbox it takes attribute points directly away from your losing your virginity attribute. 6 points to battlefield is a minus 6 points to poon

    Ok? You think I give a ****?? I'd rather get steamrolled by Larry the cable guy than go 0-12 in a halo 5 big team battle. How's that for attributes
