Honestly this is far from just a westbrook problem now, the last few games westbrook has been playing very well and shooting great, and the Lakers still have a highest winning streak of 1
Look at the starting 5 Old man Dwight Two-way Gabriel Former two way Johnson Former two way Reeves Good old Westbrick Substitutes: - tiny DJ - Mad Monk - old man Melo What to expect? These guys play established players like Harden, Embid and Harris
I swear, every time I see Harden on a highlight where he doesn't score, he has that stupid look on his face asking the refs why he doesn't get free throws.
This is the issue, I have it’s not with you but just about refs… You if you get fouled it should be called… I think that is the issue about 85-90 percent of hardens drives are fouls… Ppl get caught up in the I hate the way his game, an not actually watching the game…If my arm is out an u slap hit etc, it should be a foul..
@@schoolboy1984 Ya but, this was not a foul. Clean swipe. You do see why Harden complaining on nearly EVERY PLAY, foul or not, rubs people the wrong way, right...?
@@carlminor5519 ppl get mad at harden, but that’s his game… like if ppl look at it like this.. He’s not 7ft.. he not super fast, he’s not the best shooter, doesn’t have the best handles(good tho)… So he uses Who to benefit him.. so when he doesn’t get the fouls I see y… the actual fouls
Bro stfu😂it was good defense from Westbrook stop hating you goofy🤡 harden is a good player and speaking of that I don’t see you in the nba do I?… oh you shut up not that’s what I fucking thought
@@adamkiss6981 okay maybe nets, bucks, suns, grizzlies, and maybe warriors. And Celtics are a tough matchup but that’s about it. Also they won’t play every team there so…
I wonder when Harden will stop expecting a foul every time things don't go his way. That new rule really affected him. I get that's a huge change to deal with but one would expect him to play expecting nothing
The new rule hasn’t affected him wym? James just ain’t the same player he was in Houston bc he doesn’t have his quick first step. James gets 9.2 fts a game so saying the new rules affect his play style is a very stupid and lazy take. He can’t blow by his defenders anymore. His whole game in Houston was beating you off the dribble and driving into the paint getting easy Layups/ fts/ or lobs. Then using that to make more separation on the step back. If players aren’t worried about you driving then the stepback won’t create much separation. That’s why James isn’t playing like he was in Houston. Not bc some stupid rule that they don’t even use anymore.
@@zampy8706 Now that is a lazy take. I agree he isn't as explosive since he is aging and also compromised his body. But that speed loss didn't happen in 1 day. How do you explain this fall in points per game coinciding with his fall of freethrows attempt. Simple. He can't blow by u then u gonna make a foul since in order stop him u need to be aggressive. That is mainly his game. If u watched the sixers and Nets game he was expecting every time when driving a foul. And do you know what great players do when one thing down work anymore ? They change their game. That is why the great Kobe played more and more with that fadeaway. Why D.Wade starting shooting 3 and fadeaway too.
@@kevin-vincentelabo3916 speed loss didn’t happen in one day? Ofc it didn’t stupid? Did you forget he played through a grade 2 hamstring which takes a month to get back. He came back to play in the playoffs after like 5 days. I can tell you’re a causal and just say what you see on twitter. You didn’t even know he messed up his hamstrings in Brooklyn. And how stupid can you be? His free throw attempts are falling. It’s 9.2 that means it’s going up since the new rule. I gave multiple explanations why harden ppg dropped. You provided the lazy take and jus said “it’s the new rule” you also can’t be original and jus had to repeat what i said bc it’s obvious you can’t think for yourself. Hardens last year in Houston he averaged 7 fts a game. Then with the nets he averaged 8 now with Philly he averaged 9.2 so it’s gone up since the rule. Like I said you just have lazy takes. Yes he expects a foul bc he does get fouled. I know it might be a hard concept for your small pathetic brain to understand but when you get hit on the arm during a drive it’s a foul. Nets get away with a lot of fouls since they’re a smaller team. I saw a possession where the nets foul alperen sengun 7 times in one possession yet no calls.
