    Lebron out there doing the same thing on every drive

    all Harden did was bump him out of the way...it’s not Harden’s fault Ingram is built like a pair of chopsticks

    To be Unbiased thats a borderline play. Go to the park that was a big boy move harden put on ingram. He is young

    It's not just this year. The league has ALWAYS officiated it this way. If you are moving, shuffling, sliding your feet, off balance in any way, and the offensive player comes at you and initiates contact...THAT is a foul. PJ Tucker got called for some against Lebron in this fashion tonight, and they were correct calls. You can try to square your shoulders, drop to the ground like it's a charge, but if you are moving your feet it's a foul. Even more so in transition than in any other phase of the game. You cannot impede the path of the player, and that's why the best in the world like Lebron and Harden take the ball into your body when you are trying to contest their shot.

    Kuzma sticks his arm out like an idiot and of course Harden draws the obvious foul on a 3 point shot...then Kuzma acts like it was some horrible call made by the ref...Harden takes advantage of any mistake, and then fans get mad

    everyone on social media vindicating Ingram's action saying the Harden was flopping all game, I can't remember one time where he flopped once the entire game so you just have to acknowledge the fact that people just hate harden for the narrative of him being flopper, I don't get heated as much as before when i read those comments now

    They hating cuz they cant have our MVP

    Mouth breathers on Twitter call it flopping; I call it accentuating contact.

    I feel u but as a guy that plays alot of street ball thats a bonderline big boy play. Its like the euro step raking ur elbows from left to right as u do tbe move. Its also a clear out. I dont like that. I see why we use is but its basically letting u throw elbows of course ima move out the way if im on d

    Thats basketball its a mans game No Boys Allowed. That being said James Ennis play was the problem of the whole thing. He clotheslined Hart. After that men will stand up for themselves. Cp3 was busting the daylights out of Rondo and he was trying to irritate Cp3 to even out his teams chances. The Lakers were getting bullied out the building they are not as good as people want to make them

    I love bball to but come from a totally different perspective. I'm a 5'7 135 lb white dude . I've never played basketball seriously or even that much period . Love watching the game tho . Both for appreciating the moment and skill , but also because of the strategy and analysis I can do in my head

    Yep thats why i love sports its more this just Physical, its iq, it psychological, its pure. We was always super Competitive, im the type its not even bout winning n losing to me, when i do anything its just about pushing myself. I would always pick the 5'7 white guy lol. Cause i wanted a challenege or i wanted the guys that played like me. I love to do the dirty work, rebound, play defense share the ball. Broke my leg tho bout 6 years ago in a motorcycle wreck(femer) so its hard for me too. Sucks cause i love to play

    I dont think the Close line was that big of a deal..1 cause didnt look Intentional, ennis hand was in a weird position across his body and he wanted to stop the play so he just stayed big..hart kind of acted alittle to like that was jj watt lol

    Rusillo or whatever should get fired if he said that stupidity on national tv.

    So it’s okay to go for a player that you got annoyed or you don’t like. Than everyone on the lakers roster should threat carefully because everyone pretty much hates half or more players there. Rondo, Lebron, Lonzo (his dad), lance and Luke Walton to name a few. And if he is saying that is okay to go after floppers than KD, Lebron, curry or rondo should be careful too.

    Anyhow that comment makes no sense since the foul was correct, Harden didn’t flop and it should have been a continuation which Harden and the rockets were arguing for that call. Refs were calling bs calls last 4 minutes to help the lakers get close and that was one of them. Ingram just was stupid and got into the refs face too. He should have gotten ejected right there or after he threw a punch from behind aiming for Paul.
