I repeat this each game: The new freedom of movement rule doesn't apply to Harden. Players impede him on the perimeter ALL THE TIME which leads to his "push offs." We play the other team like that and they get the penalty in the first 5 minutes of a quarter. Guys grab Harden and wrap arms around him while he moves and the refs don't want to blow a whistle and players throw a tantrum about him getting it when they do.
Oh man lol that's disgusting. My favorite is when Harden just goes right at the double team and scores anyway.
