NBA 2018-19 Regular Season Thread Part II

[dahrougem2]

He's at 452 attempts, Embiid is at 408, so 44 difference. He's got 179 more points than the guy in second and has made 27 more 3's than the guy in second.
- He's number 4 in total assists
- Number 3 in total steals

There's nothing boring about any of this.

Numbers must have been updated then, my bad, but the point still stands. And also, that's just for this season. His free throw attempts since 2012-2013 are just ridiculous.

Like I said, extremely effective player and when he's not hunting for fouls so far away from the basket, I enjoy watching him. But he just does it so much that it's unwatchable at times. Like his game vs the Grizzlies a couple of weeks ago when he shot 26 free throws and the entire Grizzlies team shot 30. **** like that is just ridiculous and should never happen.

we can all thank d-whistle for the crap harden pulls in driving to the hoop and simply trying to draw the call

like i said, if he played every game like he did in that GSW game a few weeks back he'd be a lot more tolerable

 

[darko]

He's taken 59 more free throws than the next closest player this season.

Also, since 2012-2013 in terms of individual seasons, Harden has finished with 6 of the top 11 FTA seasons. The only other player with more than one is Kevin Durant.

Boring player, but extremely effective player.

Maybe tell the opposition to stop fouling him.

 

[Del Preston]

Denver just scored 38 points in the first quarter and is still losing by 13.

 

[dahrougem2]

Maybe tell the opposition to stop fouling him.

Or maybe tell him to stop flopping and flailing

Warriors are making the Nuggets look really bad tonight even though Denver is playing pretty good

 

[Jack Straw]

Do the twolves understand that you’re supposed to want to beat the other team?

 

[Belieber]

Warriors sent a very clear message to Denver tonight.

In basketball, you can't really play pretty good and get blown out at the same time.

Harden doesn't flop any more than literally any other star player in the league. He's just insanely good at getting his defender to foul.

He's not even the biggest flopper on his team.

You can play decent and beat alot of teams but you basically need to play perfect to beat the Warriors if they are on their game

 

[Say Hey Kid]

The average margin of victory last night was 28 points.

Also, can we go a page without talking about free throws lol.

Just because you never made yours.

Just because you never made yours.

I'm actually a very good shooter.

It's jumping I can't do.

Back to back 50-point games for Harden.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

It's Spencer Dinwiddie's world and DIRTBAG Harden just lives in it. That was so a foul on the missed free throw by Tucker but of course they won't call anything on him.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

The 5 highest combined 3 point shooting games have all happened the past calendar year. Don't like this 3 point only new game.

Rockets suck though, it's clear they have one form of offense, jack 3's. The Nets are the 2nd best defensive team regarding 3' attempted and made.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nets back to .500 after being 10 under. That bench acting like they are in college or high school. This team is FUN to watch. Look out for the Nets in the 2nd half, especially whenever LaVert returns.

 

[Jack Straw]

Steph Curry is flat out sick

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Back to back 50-point games for Harden.

And how many 30+ point games in a row?...Harden streak is getting pretty insane.
- looking at the box score, he had 19 frigging 3 point attempts in this game,
he made 21 free throws out of 23, 34 field goal attempts, had 10 rebs, 9 assists,
is he only Rockets player with the ball ?

Other than from the line, he had a poor shooting % tonight, scary to think how many points
he would of scored, if he had a hot hand.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Steph Curry is flat out sick

I agree, but Harden is sicker though (at the moment)

 

[PeakMcOil]

Steph Curry is flat out sick

I think that was the highest scoring regulation game in NBA history.

Edit: And not even close. 320 combined points apparently. Warriors in that one too.
