It was minimal contact, at best, and Harden is the one who initiated it. He completely altered his shot to get contact, thats not a foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not see the shot, nor the call. but initiating contact to get a call has happened a millions times before. Not sure what the uproar is about.

Glen Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 The goat initiated contact to get a 4 point play when he scored 13 in 33. Never have I seen anyone complain about it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Dillon Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 ????? the picture evidence of him fouling Harden is misleading because of course no one ever actually fouls Harden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harden jumped into his hand, and he couldn't pull it back in time to avoid contact. Watch the video. He pulls his hand back as soon as he realizes Harden is trying to jump into him.

But anybody that has every played knows the foul that affects you from scoring the most is if someone hits your arm while you are shooting. So if you were playing 5 on 5 in Hardan's position, you'd call that foul? Anybody that has ever played knows that there's plenty of contact in basketball that you play through, especially when it's minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hit Hardens arm, not sure what the complaint is about. Sure it was a very light hit. Sure it likely didn't mess up Hardens shot at all. But he hit his arm.

Glen Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 You can't just hold your hands over a dudes shoulders and complain that the dude jumped right into your hands when he tried to put up a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't call a foul for every light bit of contact made in the NBA. It was a bad call. The refs should have let it go considering the situation. The shot clock was about to expire, Harden was trapped in the corner, and Harden clearly tried to get a bailout foul. You don't hand him one when there's minimal contact.

You don't hand him one when there's minimal contact. You're right, they don't call a foul on legitimately every foul. Because Manfred would complain about the pace of play. But not calling a foul on a blatant foul doesn't mean a foul wasn't committed. It was the correct call. Plain and simple. Jrue fouled him, and regardless of the severity of contact there was still indeed contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I couldn't care about either of the Rockets or Pels, if FVV had been in Jrue's position I would be saying the same thing. If you know Harden is trapped, and his best course of action is to try and get a bailout foul. Don't give him the means to get that bailout foul.
