    Freakin’ refs! Just makes me sick watching Utah players body check Harden with no foul calls. They’re completely draped over his freaking back on almost every possession. It’s no wonder he can’t get a good shot off. Meanwhile, the Utah players get a finger on them and it’s off to the FT line

    Crowder has not netted a single field goal and neither has Rubio :/

    Harden ain't only one struggling but refs have put harden on the line.

    Physical play in the playoffs with the refs letting a lot go has is not new.

    Harden needs to play through the physicality and not let it throw his game off, something he has had problem with at times in the past.

    He turns timid and stops attacking with conviction, which takes him out of the game.

    Every year with the excuses. Just give credit to the Jazz for making the right adjustments.

    The playoffs are physical but the refs are allowing Utah to go way too far with the body checking. Sorry, but this wouldn’t be allowed against any Utah player. Rubio and Mitchel are getting to the line consistently with very little contact. Plus, Ingle is just a prick.

    Yeah Jazz are playing tough but you can’t deny these calls favoring Utah.

    If we plan on playing against green,bogut and the Warriors then Harden better get used to this or call it a lost season. It's playoffs and has the reputation of choking. He needs to man up like I know he can.

    Harden isn’t being aggressive enough to get fouls.

    So this was my only worry, Harden turning into a p***y when he doesn’t get the fouls called. Stop making excuses, he’s bringing this upon himself. Those lazy passes and bad body language are a clear sign it’s gotten to him. Pathetic

    The refs are clearly allowing the Jazz more physicality yet calling every touch foul on the Rockets. Just call it evenly.

    This is an NBA ref job, just trying to get in a few more statefarm commercials before the series ends. Jazz are actually really bad lol, should be up double digits.

    And Harden doesn’t have games where he gets all the calls? Touch fouls, hello, meet Harden ;)
