I really does.. This is an instant classic game. This game single handily changed Harden's narrative..
Honestly, I'm not calling for those refs to be fired, but a suspension at least? You can't miss that call and it almost cost us the game. I actually think the Bball gods smiled down upon us that night after that, Naismith and Chamberlain, and West were looking down upon this game and wouldn't let this travesty stand.
Thanks for not showing the shot, btw. Whenever this is posted, I like to remind everyone that the Malone foul started before the inbounds pass. That's a Technical Foul and the ball.
A theory I can almost buy is what they were trained to see. If Durant was closer to the out of bound line, the ref would probably notice it. They are trained for those close calls. They weren't trained to see obvious calls, so obvious that they miss it. You don't see what you don't pay attention to.
The best thing I like about this is, Harden doesn't get mad, he gets even with the next play! He has basketball maturity now. Congratulations Harder, you are as great as the Rockets Dream now. The ring will come!
you should care, the REF WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT HIM and didnt call it...you have to ask why...only answer is media hates the rockets, and loves the warriors
What people don't understand is that Harden quit playing the other team nor the refs. He is playing himself. He set some mark to reach waaaay further than anyone playing right now. They're playing to win, he's playing to be the best version of himself ever.
Not to mention rivers in the first half was half dead laying on the floor and ofcourse they let them inbound the ball, I mean seriously wtf lol
Kerr learned from the best, Phil Jackson aka the Zen Master... Kerr knows the media narrative is that Harden is a cheap player, traveling, tricking refs into calls, no defense, etc... In one week the stupid sound bites from this interview will uphold the in place bias against Harden; and people will move on from the amazing performance. He’s hoping that the doubt will seep into Harden again during the big game. Kerr is acting like a troll, but he’s actually doing his job well, playing mind games.
