    Ok. So I'm calming down a bit. I haven't been this pissed after a loss in a long time.

    Disagree with 99.9% of what u say but I'm sorry for my behavior to u

    I think the type of turnovers are what make it suspicious. Simply bounce passes end up right in the defenders hand. You would think after throwing the ball away he'd be a little more careful, but no. He comes down & carelessly throws the ball away AGAIN. Then couples that with a terrible shot. James Harden looks very suspicious to the point where you're forced to question his motives

    If I'm Harden I ____ on the refs every single time.

    It creates a narrative that they are being unbiased towards you, it works. It may not work now but in the end it will work. Just keep hammering away at it.

    NBA seriously either needs to penalize refs for bad calls or make all plays and calls reviewable in the final minute.

    If its NBA SUPERSTAR VS The REFS? The Players will always win in the end. No one comes to game for the Refs. People would pay money to watch these guys play pickup ball with no referees.

    Also, here is what Harden was talking about...

    As we can see, Smart is either hugging harden or grabbing his other arm the entire time. Only way Harden gets open is if he fouls him back.

    Thanks. I almost tore down my TV off the wall and threw it on the front lawn. I'm typically not a hot head on the boards or in "real life"

    Thanks. I am embarrassed of my comments to you especially since we probably got along just fine with Astros incredible run.

    I'm just not going to post when angry!

    The warriors do not care about the regular season. They are coasting. They regularly give there players games off to rest.

    They weren’t playing any defense, and the game still came down to the last shot.

    Yep, so Harden just needs to keep doing it everytime this happens.

    He got a rep for flopping and going being favored by the refs and now he can change that by highlighting it every time it happens.

    Tbf Harden could've also just move his ass before Smart went after him, PJ aleady had the ball to inboud it but James was just walking around like he didn't know he was wide open.

    They don't care about games against the Hornets, true.

    You think they really do not care about opening night, ring night, at home...against the 2nd best team in the conference?

    Yeah, I'm going to go with yes. In fact, you can hear it in their quotes whenever they play a good team they want to send a message.
