    Fouls? Yes-it's annoying. Time outs? No. Teams are allowed 3 less time outs in FIBA than in the NBA. Also--no media time outs.

    well...I hope this is just a temporary relapse for Harden on D, he's starting to look like his old self.

    He was playing well at the start of the game. He backed off after he picked up 2 fouls.

    The third foul call on Harden was horrible though.

    You're absolutely right. My bad.




    Cousins showing nice restraint there. Between that and the close game he's got to be pissed.

    All of our players will foul out the way the refs are calling this game.

    2 of his fouls shouldn't have been called.

    Either way this has looked like his worst game so far. Out of sync on offense and 3-4 just bad defensive plays.

    I don't know why they insisted on having Derrick Rose on the team. He's killing the team with his over dribbling and terrible touch around the rim.

    I expect Harden to turn it on second half like last game. Hard to play defense when they're calling a game like this.

    He was in foul trouble the first half. Hope Harden and AD can heat up in the 2nd half like last game.

    Box score tells me Harden has 2 fouls. WHere did the 3rd come from?

    I don't think his foul troubles was the reason he couldn't stop Kuzminskas from estamblishing in the post.

    Wow...dont think I can ever say this again...but man the NBA refs are so much better...

    The refs have been atrocious...for both teams. People came to watch both teams play ball, not the refs blow whistles...And thank God for Klay Thompson, the most consistent offensive player for this Team USA, both on offense and defense.

    And yes...Harden man, go work on your shot/game/defense...right now he is just playing terrible selfish ball.
