    I'm expecting them to say, "oh, that's all Harden ever does with his shots."

    This is kind of depressing.. Harden really has to win a title because he can score 100 and people will only talk about his step back.

    If the refs weren't completely blind and called the bad ones, this wouldn't be an issue.

    He actually did travel on that one - but it's the Jazz. That Malone moving screen must be repaid by 10000 more awful calls against the Jazz.

    Plus they lost by 5 (he made 2 of those free throws), and the refs gave Donovan Mitchell a pretty clear make up call with the Gordon 'foul'.... so, um. whatever!

    It was soooooo bad lol.

    Watching it live and even I cringed lol

    Tbh, as soon as it happened I was kinda upset/sad because I knew that James had ANOTHER BRILLIANT game, but ALL the discussion would be about the travel and not his BRILLIANCE.

    Whatever tho. You just gotta ignore the BS

    The media will turn into a big deal, like it was a big turning point in the game.

    It's not fair that Harden doesn't blow the whistle on his travels. He should.

    His first step-back of the Playoffs was the same misstep travel, too, no call. People get really mad that he gets his timing wrong 1 out of 50 times, and 1 out of 150 of them aren't called correctly.

    so sad

    Not just a Rocket's players.. Harden is probably hated as much as athletes who beat their wives.

    Crazy how much scrutiny Harden gets. He can dominate an entire game and the haters will latch onto a single play in attempt to discredit him

    Did you watch the 4th Q travel everyone is talking about?

    You have to call a travel a travel to be taken seriously, not just a blanket statement.

    That video is correct but is not pertinent to an actual travel. He gave the media ammunition that they are clearly going to run with.
