Do tell, because flopping is generally when a defensive guy falls over for a call. Another tired ass Harden hot take is about how he doesn’t play defense....so which is it?
Your a phony bandwagon fan, boy. It's obvious. Victim mentality is that you blame everything but yourself. It was the refs. It was the injury. The other team just got really hot from the perimeter for the nth game in a row. What's to worry we are 25-6. Right? Well, I hope I'm wrong but I see this team as a bit soft still. I see red flags popping up. I am tired of this argument. Who cares anymore.
Relax, this has nothing to do with Harden's defense. Do you agree that Harden exaggerates contact on offense and flops to get foul calls?
In case you missed it, everyone blamed it on lack of urgency and bad defense. That includes harden and even myself. This isn’t victim mentality, you should re look it up, but rather a separate complaint which displayed extreme bias that directly resulted in multiple egregious calls and violations.
mavsprick okc wb dickmuncher so he's never really fouled he just fabricates them? we know you the type of fan who enjoys harden gettin elbowed in the face by artest, lma, and gasol even jokes about his concussion celebrates cp3, capela, and lma's injury so rockets fail and you can blame harden
He used to *a lot* - he'd just barrel in there looking for contact and try to get bailed out. Now he actually seems to be trying to avoid contact and get ahead of his man. he's become a different player - he's not trying to draw the foul as much, he's trying to score the basket. He's craftier than ever. You clearly don't watch him play this year if you still think he is playing the same way
Harden is being punished for being better. He was hacked repeatedly last night and the referees ignored it. Players have to foul Harden...his dribbling and change of direction is too fast they're not quick enough to guard him! Harden is being fouled... Harden's not manipulating anything...it's the referees who are are manipulating the game by ignoring obvious fouls. A foul is a foul..i don't care if he get's to the line "too much". They pulled the same crap with Yao Ming...officiate him different because he's better. Refs let players push, shove and hack Yao because he's bigger...and I believe that help shorten his career...they didn't treat anybody else like that! Now they are doing the same to Harden...This game was rigged plain and simple....calling the foul on Lou Williams when he's nowhere near the play is a dead giveaway!
Why didn't those crony corrupt refs look at the replay to determine who fouled Harden?! They didn't want to see the truth...pretending to have a debate about the play..they KNEW Evans fouled Harden...then they called two bs flops on him! Stuff like this hurts the NBA! I don't blame Harden one bit..call out the bs...this rig was was too obvious!!
Dude shot alot of free throws last 2 games. LeBron is shooting half the amount of fts and he takes way more punishment. Harden didn t guard and turned the pill over.
You make it sound so egregious. Again, and I know I’ve asked before, expecting no real answer, but you are a Rockets fan, right? Often very difficult to tell.
Yeah, that was simply pathetic. I rarely blame.the refs, but uh this is inexcusable. Evans needs to be out. I want to hear the NBAs take on this one. SIL
The outrage over things like this is what surprises me. It’s old knews that the NBA’s officials manipulate games to draw in viewers or fit different narrative agendas.
The following is true: 1. The foul should have been on Evans 2. Evans flopped on the inbounds play 3. Harden got robbed on one or two continuations earlier on the game 4. The Rockets played weak defense and were already down by six when the Evans flop happened
fwiw: http://www.chron.com/sports/rockets/article/NBA-looking-into-official-mistake-from-12452556.php NBA spokesperson Tim Frank acknowledged that the officiating crew erred by assigning the foul to Williams rather than Evans. Frank confirmed that the officiating crew is not permitted to use replay to determine which player committed a foul.
