People are missing that the foul that got called took place before Harden jumped on his back, so he wasn't rewarded for jumping on his back, but I agree that he should've gotten a flagrant after the foul on MCW was called. Unnecessary.


That's making an excuse for the call. I saw the video...the whistle is called when they both fall to the floor.


It was a late call, happens all the time. MCW committed the initial foul. Maybe Harden jumped him over so the refs could see he was clamping him down, who knows.

Both Russ and Harden flopped too hard this season. Isiah Thomas don't flop!

This is why no one likes Houston or their fan base. Not even generalizing, this happens all the time (reminiscent of Lions fans for Suh). Blatant Harden BS followed by insane levels of denial. And to think I was starting to get used to the fact that Harden would win MVP.

He's actually a pretty bad flopper, he half asses flops like he does defense. I dunno how he gets away with it. A slap in the face to the great floppers like Marcus Smart.

Green font?

First of all I'm not seeing the MCW foul that the Rocket fans are talking about. If that's a foul there are multiple fouls on every possession.

And really Harden jumping on MCW's back so the refs could see MCW was fouling him? Did that even make sense to you when you were writing it out? Come on this is like his 3rd time doing this, just laugh it off and go ya that was pretty bad.

If Melo flopped like that the General Board would be like...

I'm in no way rationalizing it, I said Harden should've gotten a flagrant. I'm just saying the foul wasn't for the jump.

The Jrue one was completely different. Harden jumped on his back because Jrue backed up into him, in the MCW case Harden jumped on MCW, causing MCW to go backwards. One is a foul on Jrue, the other a flagrant on Harden


Don't try to spin it. Btw it was worth it.

Tony Brothers made the most outrageous call I've ever seen in the Toronto-Boston game the other night. If it had happened to the Raps we'd have seen a thread about it but, Raps had a 24 second violation that got overturned at the end of the game (rightfully) but Caroll got the ball and then stepped out of bounds and Brothers inexplicably gave the ball to the Raps :lol: :lol: :lol: . Swear Tony Brothers has it out for us.

Omg. Please give Westbrook the MVP, don't let this guy win it. I don't even like Russell that much, but omg.

Every fanbase thinks the refs are out to screw them, but really they're just quite bad at their jobs and don't get held accountable.

Harden is a clown and all, but that's 100% on the idiot ref who called the foul.

Really, that ref should not be reffing NBA games. He just doesn't have the talent necessary to do so. Such is life, I don't think I could be one either.

Harden also falls on a ton threes looking for the call. I think he leads the 4 point plays and 3 point fouls. Sometimes its legit, but many times its harden trying to get the call.

Idk what I'm spinning. I've been pretty consistent.

L2MR had him fouling out in the 4th anyways, but they missed it. All 3 incorrect calls in the last 2 minutes of over time and the 4th were missed in favor of the Bulls. The refs were just bad all night for everyone
