    I don't know what he was thinking. It wasn't a basketball play. The league will definitely look at it

    No. Aldridge wasn't looking directly at Harden when he pushed off so it can be ambiguous.

    Deserves a life-time ban, but Silver will probably only give him 1 game.

    Completely a basketball play ..And there was a delayed reaction there..I'm not even sure he was in pain over that.

    I was just trying to be funny and quote LeBron James' tweet.

    And every man knows that getting hit in the nuts isn't the painful part but that horrible stomach pain afterwards.

    It's been a while, but I don't remember it taking that long. Maybe it's slowed down too much.

    When i noticed Lebron had no reaction i knew he didn't get hit.

    U fall straight to the ground the way harden did.

    I think he had a delay because being an professional... he tried to hold his stance until the play was over.

    a lot of D hand checking in the nba lately must be the new hot thing to do.

    I thought fans were booing the call, which was Rocket ball. I only saw it in real time, but even Bev chases the ball bc he thinks it's Portland's ball.

    What's the point in flopping if you flopped a few seconds late and already a dead ball situation? It will never be called. If Harden flopped, he should have done that at the time he got hit.
