    Didn't read what he said.

    ...says the leg kicker who kicks players. Maybe kickboxing, not basketball, is more your thing.

    Isn't this the same guy who tackles other player like if he's playing football?

    Yes, and the NBA lets him get away with it for the most part.

    Harden manufactures contact. It's effective, it's annoying to the opposition, it's questionable sometimes.

    One thing it is not: flailing.

    In terms of pure flopping, Harden isn't worse than Paul, Barea, Ginobili, Nowitski, Varejao or ------ Steph Curry.

    Draymond needs to take the rest of the Warriors out to do some service for the holidays and think about something other than themselves.

    What's funny is that everyone is talking about the kick but it was the elbow that got him the flagrant. The kick looked incidental.

    I think the league needs to clamp down on the kicking though. If you lift your foot and kick without falling backwards it should be an automatic suspension and fine.

    Is ridiculous the league is not taking additional action.

    There were paid ESPN employees who said they think that the foul limit should be eliminated after Curry fouled out against us.

    Draymond is the team killer in his own team. He is the reason Warriors choke 3-1. Let him talk.... the more he talks, the more he destroys his own team.

    He complains that its unnatural that Harden flails but isn't it more unnatural that he flails his legs into people's groin or faces? Every single NBA player flops to a certain extent. Harden actually has cut back a lot this season. But when Harden does flail, most of the time its him going up with players smacking down across his arm. Its ridiculous that Draymond Green would call Harden out for that when he's been the one flailing his legs.

    Kicking is totally a natural basketball move.

    Yeah, those Jazz boys, especially Malone & Stockton were famous for their sneaky dirty plays. As much as we'd like to think Basketball as just a competition of making hoops, the reality is much more grimmer than that. A lot of shady things going on in the back door. That's why players never call each other out on flopping, because every freakin' player does it. And I'm pretty certain that coaches teach their players to do this, otherwise it can't be this widespread. But seriously, kicking or physically harming other players should never be allowed.

    Green is an idiot thinking NBA doesn't know what Harden is doing with 1000 cameras covering entire floor.

    The guy is a self serving punk on the court riding coat tail of the stars on that team. An overrated player.

    I would have loved to see what would have happened if he pulled that leg in the air bullshit against Barkley, Karl Malone, Rodman, or Mo Lucas.
