Harden has 0 mid-range game...

[dubeta]

He dominates the ball for 20 seconds on offense and either drives in for the flop/foul, or passes it for a bail out assist :lol


If he's not driving he's shooting 5-10 3's a game, regardless if he's making them or not, he still chucks


He doesn't have composure or stability, it's just a combination of flopping/shooting 3's to his hearts content



IMO this is the main reason the rockets are struggling right now.

The free throw line isn't midrange? :lol

[TrueBlue89]

Did the WCF's not happen? He murdered the Warriors from midrange all series long. :wtf:

And he does have a midrange game he just doesn't shoot it often because it's the worst shot in basketball. He added it to his game late last season. If he can't get to the rim consistently he'll take that shot.

I hate that new phrase being used. "It's the worst shot in basketball." It's so simplistic. Lets dumb down the game, develop no midrange game, and just shoot 3s or layups. Imagine if Jordan just focused on 3 pointers and layups. Lets say that version of Jordan is more efficient with the 3 point shot, and scored more points per game. That version of Jordan would not be more skilled than the version of Jordan we had. His game wouldn't be as skillful and smart. It would just be dumbed down. He wouldn't be creating as many shots as he was able to.

:applause: :applause:

but just checked harden stats:

29 ppg/6.5 reb/6.9 Ass on 40% (44% last 10 games). PER 25.25

:eek: :eek:

We already know he is the most fabricated star in NBA history.

Harden has a lil midrange game now. He showed some of it against the Clippers in last season's play-offs.

Rip Hamilton contained Kobe and Shaq in 2004 using the mid range game.

That must be why that Jordan guy was so terrible. :facepalm

You're dumbing it down yourself. It IS the worst shot in basketball. If you are taking that shot it means the defense has forced you into taking it. Great defenses will force you into that shot. Great scorers will make that shot when they are forced to. Stop acting like Jordan would've proffered to take a turnaround fadeaway over a layup
