    This is clearly the play where Harden got hurt initially.

    First Rudy Gobert slaps Harden in the inseam, causing Harden to lean forward, then he steps on Harden's foot and then pushes him in the back.

    Then you can see Harden grab at his left leg on the ground.

    Definitely could have been the initial injury and then aggravated it later. Harden is a beast for playing thru it.

    Harden is getting absolutely zero respect from the refs so far this season. Getting whistled like a rook and he's the league MVP. Ridiculous

    James Harden would not have gotten hurt if Tillman was not so cheap.

    I agree. MDA needs to go off on the refs more like Kerr and Pop

    Tilman should have built him a full body suit that can't be detected by human eye... or maybe he already has one?

    Freedom of Movement as long as you're not Harden.

    Y'all are saying Gobert did it on purpose? Y'all are saying at the least he fouled Harden on that play? Y'all are crazy.

    Harden trying to box out Gobert got Harden hurt. Unfortunately, playing switching defense caused Harden to end up guarding Gobert under the basket when it should have been Capela.

    Looks like a pretty clean battle for position box/seal out for Gobert.

    He is getting 8.5 FTs a game.

    Lets stop blaming the refs for every problem. Its like every fan base wants to claim the refs are screwing them even the warriors.

    Say what you want about Tilman, but Les almost never went into the luxury tax level. It was all a marketing ploy about how bad he wanted a championship he would stop at nothing to get it. But in the end Les was cheaper and definitely more meddlesome when it came to the books.

    Hes averaged 10+ the previous 4 years prior and over 9 the 5th year ago.

    Fouls are insanely up across the board throughout the league. The median is 24 FTA, while last year the median was 21. That's a 14% increase.

    Yet, the single best player at drawing fouls in the past generation, is down 20% or so.

    But let's just ignore it because you know, contrarian is cool.

    *Thumbs up*
