Fire him up in DFS and it becomes slightly more tolerable, plus I personally add in the fact that he was extremely kind and generous to my fiancee when she was a server a few years ago.

Mavs just hit a wall. Offense looks rough.

Shocked how many possessions they concede to WB, just because he's WB. Rockets probably win this one if he wasn't such a ballstopping chucker.

*they still might

Fouled in the "shooting motion" lol

I guess heaving up a shot after you get hacked is free throws when it comes to harden

Not watching.. any defense at all being played between Houston and Dallas?

Rockets play very intense defense actually.

Mike Breen could not figure out who was and who wasn't Middleton.

Giannis at the five, Marvin at the four, switch everything on D. On O, PnR with Giannis screening for whoever Duncan Robinson is guarding to force the switch and then have Giannis attack Duncan Robinson with hard rolls to the basket or post-ups. (Basically how LeBron's Cavs attacked I.T.)

Miami is good. Prob more worried about them and philly than Boston and Toronto.

Miami is the team that I feel like would beat the Bucks in the East.

I'll answer this. I have no issue with him as a person but I don't enjoy watching Harden's style of basketball.

His eFG% is actually quite mediocre. For as high as his reputation of a scorer is, Harden is really not that great at putting the ball in the rim during live play. His great scoring efficiency comes from the fact that he leads the league in free throw attempts every year. This isn't a Shaq or Giannis situation where defenders have no chance to defend him at the rim so they get mauled. Harden will jump into contact like nobody else. His goal is often not to put the ball in the basket but it's to create contact to get to the free throw line. He hooks arms and flails into defenders at the rim and on the perimeter. Plus he's arguably the worst flopper in the league.

Watch on YouTube

It seems like Harden's best skill is at manipulating the rules and the refs rather than the actual basketball skills that fans enjoy watching. I hope we don't have a generation of kids imitating his style because if the league has a bunch of Harden clones ten years from now then the NBA will be unbearable.
