    what Harden does is rarely an offensive foul...tired of all this b*tching and crying

    u are allowed to use your body to create space...Harden is always stronger than his defender so they get knocked back

    Not really a fan of Doris Burke. She talks too much and usually what she says is fairly obvious. Still I have heard worse.

    I don’t know if she hates Harden or not, but she didn’t list him in her 3 best players in the world a few weeks ago. I believe it was KD, LBJ and Giannis.

    She said nothing wrong. It’s a move she thinks the league may look at to cleanup. The assumption that she has some anti-Harden agenda in saying this is ****ing stupid.

    This is what people are talking about when they say Rockets fans are the most annoying. I come on here looking for some poitivity after a gutty win, and there’s a bunch of whiners hating on Doris Burke who was praising Harden repeatedly despite him having his worst game of the season.

    True. Not to mention the defenders are draped all over him. They literally put their arms all over him and sometimes they were grabbing his jersey as he drive past them. No calls. The bottom line is they shouldn’t call an offensive foul if they aren’t gonna call that crap

    Oh please man, Donovan goes to the line 10 times in a row it’s straight crickets and when the defender has his hands on James when he makes his 1st shot of the game her response is the league should look at it? That’s ****ing unprofessional and laden with. Bias

    She was pretty fair tonight, and generally one of the best commentators in the league. This is a bad thread.

    She’s getting called out by fans of other teams all night for that showing , I don’t know how some of you are justifying her behavior.

    That was extremely unprofessional, it wasn’t the jazz feed, it was the espn feed you can’t do that crap

    Guessing you aren't a Rocket fan, not sure why you're even on the forum trolling. Who said they are the most annoying? Literally have never heard this, legitimate arguments have been made for Boston, LA, Oakland, Philly,. Sounds like something you just made up after your team lost.

    She didn't say the move is something that the league needs to look at, she said his move in particular is something the league needs to look at. She never mentioned the fact that other players have done the same move. Get out of here, Im sure whatever team you're hurt over has a forum.

    She IS horrible, and the criticism she's getting is justified. Had this been Lebron she wouldn't dare say anything negative. But here she is r running with false narratives with James Harden

    She’s getting called out for anti-Rockets bias by other fans? Quote them.

    We are complaining about Doris Burke?

    She voted Harden MVP last season, probably this season, and constantly praised him today as one of the most gifted offensive players ever.


    Wow...

    I didn’t enjoy the ESPN broadcast. Had to watch the rockets broadcast.

    This is what made her comments kind of shocking. Harden and her seem to have a mutual respect for each other from what I've seen over the years. He talks to Doris differently in interviews than with others.

    Maybe the league should look at Gobert absolutely hammering Harden on his floaters everytime with no call.

    She is respected by players and NBA experts because she is knowledgeable and well-prepared, she speaks her mind honestly, and she respects the work NBA players and coaches put into their craft. Only clueless fans think she has an agenda against particular players.

    Doris is typically objective. There are way worse broadcasters than Doris. Shoot, the other dude tonight just about creamed himself every time harden missed a shot tonight. “HE’S NOW 0-10!!” “WORST PLAYOFF GAME IN THE HISTORY OF NBA” and simultaneously he was saying Mitchell was having a coming out party when in reality Mitchell played poorly too.
