4 overall shots of DMo + Dwight. 18 threes. Problem is Rockets show no intention of looking and playing for them. We'll see at the second half.
Yeah, I kind of liked it, too. He was clearly going to be fouled by a guy who was running side-by-side with complete body contact for quite a few steps. To me, a) that seems like a foul before James shoved him, b) I wouldn't mind if James just shoved him to put him in his place, and c) that looks like a sprained Harden ankle just waiting to happen if he doesn't push him away. I'm generally okay with that in moderation.
Oh yeah I have a great idea Kevin, let's play Ariza 22 minutes in the first half! Oh, and 19 for Dwight! Friggin dumb. It is not hard at all.
Harden does that forearm push off a lot when he is running the break 1 on 1 but gets away with it. It's not like he is trying to hide it either. Harden will conscientiously shove his opponent out of the was on his way to the basket. I'm actually surprised he doesn't get called for the offensive foul more.
