    Michael Jordan 2 years of getting eliminated no hard fouls called for him, than ticket sales and referees now want to whistle, cleaning up hard fouls.

    This has nothing to do with the Rockets

    We beat their butts all the time in the 90s

    James Harden hopefully will breakthrough one day and win a Championship. Draymond is like Rodman, Stephen Curry is Isaiah Thomas Fake Good Guy Image, Joe Dumars is Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant is a Cupcake.

    It does in a way. Replace Detroit with Curry’s Warriors and Jordan with Harden’s Rockets. That thin team can’t score the way they do if they can’t foul on every screen. Don’t know if that was OP’s point but it’s true.

    Should change the title to, Harden Rules

    For a fan who enjoyed the Rockets in the 90s,
    the Bulls are a touchy subject

    and Scottie Pippen is a touchy subject too

    Harden rules indeed. Except it’s the refs not the actual team. You gave them their moving screens, their physicality and their typical long leash with the refs/league. But James doesn’t get the okeedoke, AND the warriors did. Tomahawk jobs at one rim overlooked, touch fouls whistled at the other.

    Is there another player in the league who suffers the difference of whistles between seasons as much as Harden?

    So he'll join our team, be completely useless, and then throw his team mate under the bus?

    Jordan Rules was nothing more than smart, physical, relentless D. And then forcing Jordan to work hard on offense.

    Sounds very common sense to me. Amazing how media built it up as some nefarious malicious narrative because Jordan was the NBA darling. All great defensive teams employ these tactics.

    He’s been making some, uh, interesting posts :Do_O

    We win that series with Paul, with fair refereeing, or with average 3 point shooting.
