    Who has the full video of this? Don't they start arguing after the gif ends? I remember it that way on TV

    Nevermind. Found the video. Great leadership by James there preventing the T

    Harden is a leader, Bev is showing his ass especially since he backs it up with dog **** play lately.

    I definitely agree he is showing leadership. Even coach K agrees because he made him the leader of Team USA and that team had guys like Curry and Thompson.

    That video shows it much better. Pat lost it and Harden didn't back down, I like it!

    All I got from that clip is

    1. Fuking bad ass that spin move to the cup by Pat Man right down Parson's throat.

    2. How hypocritical and overreacting of the beard. You see, Harden forcefully pushes Bev to the Mavs direction after he had already turned and made a "basketball move:p:" toward our bench. Wasn't Harden the one in the last Mavs game that scored on a key drive thru Parson's and then walked over Parsons doing a stare-down and jawing?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ4hq_TuPhc

    3. Passion, Patman has it and I won't fault him for that in the regular season

    I'm not opposed to Harden wanting to coach Pat up, but not that way.

    A true leader will put his arm around his teammate's shoulder and pull him close and calmly tell him "let's be careful Pat, can't risk a Technical!

    You don't embarrass your teammate especially one that has bailed you out numerous times when the Beard "Steve-Francesed" the ball down to 2 seconds on the shot clock and then passed to a teammate.

    I honestly think this thread is a cleverly disguised hate-thread on Pat Bev not playing well lately (overall) sprinkled with lets get Dragic BS

    When your the leader and the alpha dog, you decide when its appropriate and when its not because your the boss.

    I get the point about embarrassing your teammates but you pick and choose how you talk to each teammate differently. Pat wasn't offended and in the heat of the moment the leader makes a quick decision. I'm glad the beard isn't scared to push Pat who is a tough guy.

    I also agree that its a disguised hate-thread on Pat, so what? Team looked fine when he was hurt and Canaan took over. I like Pat but if he blows out the knee that he should have gotten fixed, I'm not overly concerned. If he stays healthy, great. I don't care if they upgrade at pg, no team has a perfect lineup.

    On the court, it is Harden's team. If they lose, guess who gets the bulk of the blame.

    Bwhahaha Harden was trying to grab and pull him and Bev swiped his hand down. Look again, Harden ended up stumbling after the initial contact.

    Great leadership on Harden's behalf.

    Pat is like Chalmers. You have to be a tough leader. LeBron didn't get flack for yelling at Chalmers, Harden shouldn't get flack either.

    I'm assuming this is about Pat Bev? You couldn't be talking about Harden, right?

    The only reason Iverson ever pushed anyone was because they wouldn't give him the ball... Completely different than what Harden did here.

    Maybe Clutchfans doesn't blame Harden, but the rest of the media and the rest of the NBA fans across the league will view every loss as a Harden choke.

    Yep, Harden is definitely trying to grab Bev's shoulder and Bev was having none of it haha. Bev is a hot head, but I don't mind it at all as long as he avoids crucial technicals.

    My man Harden man, growing up and become a real franchise player right before our eyes. Houston, clutchfans, embrace this moment right now. James Harden is the truth.
