Bingo! For proof look at Harden's abysmal shooting in the first 2-3 games of the Houston-Portland playoff series last year. |
I am not sure how the Portland series proves his point. For starters, it was the first round, not deep int the playoffs.
Second Harden average 22 fga and 8.3 fta in the playoffs, compared to 20 fta. and 8.7 fta in the regular season. I may be missing something, but I don't see anything in that to indicate the refs were swallowing their whistles. |
