This is the West, all games are a must have. Win tomorrow and Wednesday the Rockets will be 1 game from the 2nd seed. Instead with a very tough game without James the team could be down three games back of the Grizz going into Wednesday's game.
My respect for Lebron's game has lessened even more. This just shows you how bad the nba wants Lebron to be on top.
I am a Rockets fan, but I am not a homer. There is a distinct difference between pushing someone off you with your foot and kicking somebody. Just like there's a distinctive difference between shoving one away from you and punching somebody. and btw, if you're ever on your back in a fight, and somebody closes in on you, you're gonna get your ass beat lol
I'm okay with this punnisment he reacted due to frustration in getting fouled but he has to be smarter then that. if the situation was LeBron kick James, we would expect the same. James needs to learn from this because it was unnecessary. Hopefully out other guys step up, James is the team, but I think we have enough on our roster even without James and d12 to steal a game or two. Especially if the team down plays us. We still have the band of brothers and dmo, guys need to step up .
Just like your interpretation is your interpretation only. Who made you the ultimate arbitrator here?
let's not kid ourselves. we are going to get SMOKED by atlanta. but i'm glad harden is getting a rest.
I would be fine with suspending Harden for a game if they also suspended LBJ for a game. What Harden did was wrong, but it wasn't more wrong than LBJ pinning Beverley down to the ground. Putting his foot out lightly and having it make a connection is hardly worse than intentionally pinning a guy who's 8 inches shorter down to the court and not letting him get off the ground. That's my real issue here. Had Harden reared back and actually thrust his foot forward it would be a different situation. That isn't what happened, though. On the bright side Harden will have some rest. He could use it.
Don't be sure about Atlanta smoking the Rockets tomorrow night. Stranger things have happened. Brewer can unleash a big game and the team can get very hot shooting 3s.
You are arguing with the rule, not me. I'm in the legal right, not you. Lolz kids trying to argue about the NBA rule for my take And this has something to do with the urbanization of the NBA I suppose What the hell are you talking about? I said Harden kicked up into the air like a girl and you say he was about ready to get his ass kicked ???!
He deserved to be suspended. He did on purpose. There is no doubt in my mind. I still love Harden though
Wow that is a new low for the NBA. They went from recruiting LeBron's 10-year-old son to recruiting his sperm.
The NBA officials on the court last night had a front row seat to the incident, then watched it from multiple angles during the review process, and came to a different conclusion.
Quit protected a p***y ass kick. It doesn't matter if you try or not in all bro games. If you kick towards the groin then you suck I cannot believe you guys are reinventing or flat out ignoring bro rulz against kicking in sports skirmishes I'm writing some of y'all down as ppl who never played team sports at even a HS varsity level Harden broke the bro rulz
Lmao... didn't realize LeBron called out James Harden <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>LeBron on Harden kick: "Obv it was not a basketball play & obviously the league will take a look at it...

Yeah, but we're not gonna win every game. No one is. And let's be honest. The Hawks were heavy favorites tomorrow night even if Harden hadn't been suspended. Our chances of beating Memphis go up however if James is well-rested for the game Wednesday night.
