    After getting bent over by the refs all night and not being able to do anything about it, you really think he's gonna show good sportsmanship? Lol

    Yah - he is going to congratulate a team that had a guy make a 3 and then wiped his hands on his towel and had another that threw him to the ground multiple times and on one of those *acted* like he was going to help him up only to move his hand away. Plus who knows what else said to him by other Warrior players. There is always something to be said to take the high road but dammit, there comes a point where you are sick of doing that ****. Glad to see that Harden is not interested in *moral* victories besides why would he congratulate them? They didn't beat him - the refs and not having CP3 is what won that series for the Warriors.

    the first thing I yelled at the tv when the final buzzer rang was, Harden and CP walk off without talking to these dbags. **** em' , no time to congratulate arrogant players like Seth Curry.

    I dont know why any of us would be mad at Harden for this. Id be pissed if he did shake their hands afterwards.

    James Harden drove to the basket in Game 6, Stephen Curry slapped his right wrist really hard, his right wrist has been injured before when he fell on the floor hard at Denver. He was in pain when Curry did that. Harden really did get injured in this series getting excessively fouled by Draymond with no foul, or and Flagrant. Last Season Draymond Heel Foot kicked Harden in the Mouth of his teeth. Draymond last season saw that injured right wrist he fell on, Karate Chop on Harden right wrist. This GSW is a Dirty Team for sure. Harden over the years had gotten injured a lot by Draymond why Congratulate them when they personally injure you. Zaza elbowed Harden in the Face also this year.

    Kerr said they would have won in five with Iggy. Poor sportsmanship.

    And we would have won in 6 with a healthy Chris Paul.

    I am so sick and tired of hearing about a "healthy" AI. You have 4 perennial all-stars and 2 surefire HOFers and a borderline one (in Klay Thompson) and you need Iguodala to beat the Rockets?? What a weak sauce soft team this group of Warriors are...

    A congratulatory salute to the winners is only warranted when sportsmanship is allowed to be had on an even playing field. Harden shaking hands with GSW knowing it was all bull**** is inauthentic. He and the team put in work this year like they've never put in before. When that gets taken away from you it's understandable. You can see from GSW and Cleveland reactions - you don't see them jumping up and down like they really enjoyed the win in a hard-fought series. It's like they're just acting. Then going on TV making S*$T up... not like... we fought hard from being down... there's no authenticity in their voices. This will be the least watched NBA Finals. It's like boxing... 4 straight... then they'll meet for the tie-breaker next year too. Then Lebron is going to join another team - probably in the East to at least keep it watchable.

    Fk sportsmanship, in a rigged game with a shtty ref y should our star fake being happy for the opposing team. I hope we boo every time foster comes into our court, chanting ref u suck before he even starts reffing.

    This. A team that cheat codes its way to un-earned titles, and acts like entitled brats en route, doesn’t deserve credit or respect.

    There is a difference between beating Contra with 3 lives vs. 30 lives.
