    Harden isn't really a flopper. He's a seller for sure though but that's entirely more legitimate than just fake falling over. The 3 point reach foul is kinda lame too but at this point it's at least a little surprising that guys are still reaching out to him around picks.

    Maybe he is just flat out terrible. Nothing is called consistently, very little is called accurately..

    Like others have said, that "kick ball" review result was purely him sticking it to Ariza because Ariza was upset.

    So you're saying he's not a cheater, he's just a terrible referee?

    Wonder how that could be fixed?!?!

    Official 2-minute report. Kick-ball is not reviewable. Guess they went to replay in error. Although they confirmed incorrect call.

    http://official.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2017/02/L2M-CHI-HOU-02-03-17.pdf
    • 00:52.5 Violation: Kicked Ball Trevor Ariza Ariza (HOU) tips the ball with his hand and does not intentionally kick it.
    • 00:52.5 Instant Replay: Support Ruling Officials go to replay review for the out of bounds, but the call on the floor was a kicked ball violation. The call on the floor stands because kicked ball violations are not reviewable and the shot clock is reset to 14.
    The 6th foul on MCW for backing it up on Harden was not part of report because it was 2:05 left in OT.
    • There was an INC on MCW fouling Harden on the regulation last score by Harden to tie the game. MCW fouled him when Harden was trying to get open without the ball, impeding his forward momentum.
    • Another Incorrect No Call on Lopez fouling Gordon with 1:17 left on a drive to the basket.

    So, all three bad calls went against Rockets.

    The failed Ariza kick ball call led to a makeup traveling call and 3 points for the Rockets if I remember correctly

    Gibson didn't seem at all upset over the call which led me to believe it was legitimate.

    That blew the technical on James too. Incidental elbow after a foul.

    Holding someone accountable is "harassing" now?? I don't give a **** about the score.....Tony Brothers is the worst referee in the NBA, and as long as he continues to cash a paycheck from the league, he should be held accountable for his job performance. If the league won't do it, fans can and should.

    Posting his social media information and encouraging bridaging it in the OP about his calls on the game, which probably are more likely than not to be mean spirited,is harassment not "holding someone accountable".

    Do you post the social media information online about someone who screws up your order at Burger King? No? There are proper channels for that just like there are proper channels for fans complaining about the refereeing. Harassing someone, and yes it is harassment, is not the way to go about it. The only thing you'd do is make Rockets fans look bad.
