Rockets fans: That play was ridiculous. Harden made Rivers look like a fool. Lin fans: Harden obviously pushed off. He should have been called for an offensive foul. We should have lost.
they would have to be stupid enough to make a ClutchFans account... be honest if he misses that shot and we end up losing, people would be bumping the "Harden Meme" thread.
"Somebody had opened up the exit door and Rivers has fell out the back...that's the only way I could describe it." :grin: That's gold!
It really does look like he pushed, but if he did that's a blackbelt style move... knowing exactly where to push and pushing hard without people even being able to say for sure he did it.
There was a push but the refs won't call it because first Rivers was already falling back before the push and second it was so subtle that it only gets noticed on replays.
NOH best perimeter defenders are Eric Gordon and Al Farouk Aminu. Harden set a pick for Lin to force the defense switch Rivers on him instead of Gordon, who was giving him problems at both ends all night. If not for that pick switch at the top of the key, Harden wouldn't have gotten such an easy shot off.
It seems like a push but I don't think Harden barely touched him let along pushed him hard. Two of the refs were directly in front and behind I am so glad they didn't fall for that after thought "flop".
No doubt. Harden is a boss. But this boss has got to lead by example. As stated by many others, i'm talking bout D-Fence.
You are right. I have seen many times that LeBron elbowed players out of his way football style and not called. Calling this a foul on Harden would be extremely soft.
