Shocked. This is a guy who gets foul calls when a defender lightly brushes him because he staggers around like a drunk and throws up a wild shot. Hell, on some of his drives, he purposefully jumps into the defender and causes the contact. But he threw a forearm shiver twice in a five or ten second span to create separation, and that crap goes uncalled. Yeah, I don't want to hear whining from any Rockets fan. James Harden's game is built around getting bad foul calls. And he generally succeeds in getting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I stopped rooting for them when they moved. You and James Harden went a combined 9-29 today.) Rams fan here, did not suck. After over a decade of losing under bums like Linehan, Spagnuolo, and Fisher, I got to see my team in the Super Bowl. Felt pretty damn good.

Kip Smithers Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It is not normal for a your landing spot tone 3ft from where the shot initially took place. Sorry. Harden knows what he’s doing. Now 3 of those calls in first half he had legit qualms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that no offensive player gets called for the push off unless he fully extends his arm. It’s one of the few consistent calls they make.

Thanks for the proof. cmon man, you cant be that much of a homer. Harden jumps 4 ft forward into the defender, that shouldnt be a foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude throws chicken wings out on every single drive too, and half the time he flails around hucking up a wild layup from the pushoff he instigated and gets the call. He's straight up bad for the sport of basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green is standing in his normal landing zone, that’s the point. You can’t possibly blame someone for that when the other team has been getting away with cheap shots the entire game.

J-ALL-DAY Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Rockets are pathetic........Seriously pathetic. Did anyone read the article on The Athletic from Sam Amick? Dubs need to get rid of these clowns ASAP so they can sit their candy a$$es at home. Disgusting style of basketball and nothing but constant complaining from the players/organization and their fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly is Draymond supposed to stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 THE MAN IS FLOPPING BEFORE GREEN EVEN TOUCHES HIM. This would have been embarrassing if it was called. Since when is this a natural jump shot? Who shoots like this? So he starts falling before anyone even touches him and then kicks his feet out? Unbelievable how some still think this was a missed call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically how the Rockets have done research that shows the Warriors get away with the most stuff and last year they were screwed out of like 90 potential points or some crap. Their fan base definitely takes after their front office/organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of the few consistent calls they make. And other offensive players don't get nearly as many soft touch calls as Harden. Imagine how many points Curry would score if they called a foul every time he was touched while driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They abuse the system and want the refs to reward them even more for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
