The 4 game demise of the Beard has been greatly exaggerated.

All the nephews should really just delete their accounts.

First this is against the Pacers and second he is on pace with 22 FTA tonight.He live or die from the free throw line as always.

When Harden scored 36 ppg that one season, if you subtracted away all his FT, he still scored more than your favorite player.

Shooting below 45% is nothing special.His 37% in the 3 points was good but not great.13 3PA per game with 11 FTA should never be possible for a player.And you have to consider that the opponents had to give him space and put their hands behind their backs to not have the whistle because of a soft call.

This one will get sent with their package to the league office. They really have gone too far in how much contact they are allowing right now.

so noone wants to comment on this? not even to pretend like Harden hooked the defenders arm or something? Did something "un-natural"?


Nope, the guy is getting fouled a lot, at least after this one, refs started calling them.

[Homer38]

Damn, 21/5/4 at half?

How could a washed player do that? How RealGM?

Point is, when he gets calls he is lethal, free throw dependant tbh

I've never seen a player relied on the whistle

Bruce Brown needs to continue to get more playing time. He has some really nice chemistry with Harden.

You mean when refrees call a foul when Harden is blatantly hacked?

He is constantly looking for the hack, hence why he feels refs have targeted him. Again, not surprising half of his points are free throws, that's the Harden we know.

Yeah, he's looked terrible per his standards, but he is indeed getting unfairly targeted and they had been leaning against him in every 50/50 and then some (see: here). There's probably some karmic justice in that, but this is the case for him in all G7's (a huge reason why he fairs so terribly in them), and frankly it's not quite fair. I'm not watching this game right now, but I did see he got 11 1st half FT attempts, so it does seem he's getting them calls right now lol.

I'll also say this. That pseudo Harden call-out thread is going to look VERY stupid in about a month (if not a week). He does not need the calls to be aggressively in his favor (as they have been for the past half decade) for him to be a top 10 player (that's the lowest you could possibly rate him), he's a monster regardless.

Ok Harden is just picking them apart now.

The whining about FTA is silly. The guy was getting no calls the first 4 games of the season, and isn’t getting any of his typical foul calls again this game. And in fact got mauled on an earlier drive that was not called, as evidenced by the video above.

Which of his FTA weren’t legitimate fouls? Because even with the new rules, those were pretty clear fouls to me. A lot of raking him across the arm and then biting on a pump fake on a 3pt attempt, which is always a call. Lol at least point to a play where he flopped and got a call. But he doesn’t really have those this game.

This is not even a basketball play, he's looking and fishing for a foul. Refs will look if you're CREATING the contact.

I agree. The defender wrapping both of his arms across Harden's is definitely not a basketball play.

There's nothing unfair about what the refs did to him, he DESERVED ALL OF IT by making the game a mockery

Lol you have to pick your battles man. This is not the hill you want to die on. That’s a blatant foul from any angle.

When Harden is in form he will shred everyone as per usual (minus 2-3 trips to the line per night), and I hope you guys understand that. I hate his antics as much as anyone and am super glad about the current foul-adjustments, but they are just missing blatant calls at this point in an attempt to over-correct.

Joe Harris is flat out awful. Playoffs broke this dude.

The refs didn't call it so it's not a foul
Just like when they called bs fouls for Harden for years and you claimed that he was in the right.
Respect the refs who were babysitting the beard

The defender is hand checking him with two hands. That is a foul.

That should be an automatic ejection for Durant.
