    That was refreshing. Nick needs more TV time.

    Why do people complain about never ending foul shots with Harden He shoos one FT more per game than Embiid and 2 more than Giannis. And then it is never ending free throws, but Embiid and Giannis do not have never ending free throws.

    I Like Nick Wright, I respect his opinion.

    A Clippers' commentator hating on Harden's FTA when they have Lou Williams on the team obviously lacks any sense of awareness. What's Lou known for other than being a great offensive 6th man? His ability to draw fouls. I would guess that if Lou averaged 10 more mins to match Harden's minutes per he'd be hitting 11+ FT attempts per game.

    Didn't Giannis shoot like 21 free throws last night?? I'll admit I only watched about 15 minutes of that game last night. But in the 15 minutes I watched, there were at least 3 possessions where Giannis got the ball in the post, shoulder charged the defender 2-3 times, turned, and got hacked. People are really going to argue that Harden is boring to watch when Giannis is just bully-balling his way to the bucket on every possession?? FOH.

    I feel so fortunate that James Harden plays for the Houston Rockets

    I mean, MacClean actually did say “I just don’t like Harden” during the broadcast. Just not during the segment that everyone is replaying.

    Am I the only one that heard that? Or am I mistaken?

    Honestly, I don't remember anymore. That douche-canoe said a lot of absurd ****, and now it's all running together in my mind.

    This is the *go to* answer for EVERY fan when FTAs are the same. And it is the answer that basically just boils it down to *hater.*

    "Giannis EARNS his calls.....Harden flops his way to calls."

    Nick Wright's SiriuxXM show on Mad Dog Sports Radio makes having SiriusXM completely worth it. Best "talking head" out there by far.

    The first minute of this video is actually pretty funny when they overlaid his comments on Harden scoring over and over and making some impossibly ridiculous plays.

    not sure but that would be more accurate than Chris Wrights take...chrises explanation is about aesthetically not being pleasing and what the guy said was more about plain hate and saltiness than aesthetics

    Yup, 21, FTs. In the Clippers game, Lou Williams shot 11 to Harden's 12. OMG, Harden gets all his points from free throws!!!1!

    Bottom line is that Giannis leads the league in dunks, Harden makes 3's and floaters. Even if you take away all the anti-Harden propaganda, people will always go with the guy who dunks all the time. Same reason why people thought Shaq was SOOOOOO much better than Hakeem in 95.

    The Beardism around the League is sickening.

    Yeah but I wish they showed the plays that were actually happening while the commentator was hating. Because there were plenty of hockey assists and lobs whenever he was claiming we play with "no ball movement, iso only." I guess they didn't want an LA commentator looking too stupid.
