Ahh yes. A variance in free throws. Choke. James Harden is constantly considered an unclutch player who only scores on free throws. He does just the opposite, and keeps the label. Makes sense.

Ah, I guess it was just random that he had his worst shooting performance from the line in a closely contested close out game. I doubt it has anything to do with pressure

That’s the same number as Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler.

Harden's had a few of those playoff variances.

So basically 2 Houston guys gave their vote to Harden. Nothing to see here.

He was shooting 88% from the line in the series, he went 7-12 (58%) in game 6 and his team lost by 5 points
Harden lead all scorers in that game with 35 points on 58% TS%. Also had 5 assists, 8 rebounds, and 4 steals.

And you’re gonna say he choked because he missed a few free throws? Not even pressure free throws, mind you, as most of them were missed in the first quarter.

I think it’s clear to see you are simply an irrational hater.

I’ve been hating on Harden since before it was popular.

He will definitely be a force to reckon with in the coming finals.

Right. If Harden deserves any criticism in that series it's for not taking over in crunch time enough.

He goes for the big plays (steals) at the expense of his overall defense.

Please explain how Durant was awful against Harden last series. Also, how the Rockets have been so good defensively with Harden on the floor? It’s not like they are protecting him like the Warriors protect Curry. He makes all of the switches.
