    Thanks . . .. .
    The "breakaway" foul is not enough?

    Dame's talking like there isn't video of the games

    "I don't try to trick the referees"

    Harden shot 20 FTs last night. Giannis shot 23 tonight.

    Is the swallow-the-whistle experiment over?

    I don't about Giannis but the new rule never had any chance of limiting Harden long term because of how difficult it is to distinguish his foul drawing from actual fouls. It makes defenders even more prone to reckless fouling because they get comfortable in thinking the refs aren't going to call it.

    The truth is actually simpler than that. The rule was never going to affect Harden because he actually DOES get fouled more than any other player in the league.

    Casuals don't know this of course, but the stats will speak for themselves, and the people trying to justify it will be the same people that can't see what's right in front of them every single season.

    The funny thing is, Harden and his fans all thought the league was out to get him.

    A little physicality never hurt anyone.
