people need to realize Harden's taking advantage of a broken system. Hate the policy that allows him to do it. Board of governors need to vote to revise the personal foul rule.

If only more players would read the rule book.
I realize this, but it's no less frustrating to watch, and not all players can draw the fouls he does because they aren't stars.

We fucking lost to the Suns. Mavs are terrible on the road. Our only chance at winning the finals now is stealing the one seed!!

I'll give you Draymond...still wanna punch Harden more though, lol.
I hate watching Hardens game but he never annoyed me.

Other than maybe sometimes shuffling his feet he is just smart and takes advantage of the rules. He is not dirty and he doesn't talk a lot of trash. But drawing fouls is boring for me to watch so I don't get mad but it is horrible to watch.

What I saw last night wasn't fucking basketball.

If y'all okay with what y'all saw last night than shame on you.

And league officials ain't going to crack down on flopping!?

Pathetic ass city and team.

lol

This shot doesn't even look that bad. He needs to start taking them in games.


He's not actually jumping though. I wonder if he has trouble keeping his form right when he actually has to shoot a jump shot.
Those are just warm-up shots that you can't actually take in NBA games with defenders on top of you

Harden is a drama queen who uses the refs to define his game. It's ok, he can continue that shit in the regular season but as we have seen over and over again, he continues to fail in the playoffs.

Keep flopping for those points harden because it won't ever result to you winning a ring. Houston is probably a first round exit again.

Bulls have fell so hard now that they are willing to sit a 20m a year player for basketball reasons. Such a terrible franchise.

Any Houston Rockets win is tempered by the fact that Chris Paul, who they traded half the roster for and signed to a huge max for four years, looks washed. Harden is Harden, love em or loathe him the Nigga is an all-nba talent in the prime of his career. But the roster is hilariously thin and CP3 looks like Melo 2.0

Chris Paul is such a fun player to watch, it's a damn shame he looks so bad this year. I mean eventually his injuries were going to catch up to him but they ALL seem to have caught up at once.

Yeah, dude looks like he lost a step.

I'm sure he can still contribute as a pretty good role player but he does not look like what he once was.

The NBA's shit right now. Drivers like LeBron get hacked to death and get no calls. Harden gets breathed on at the perimeter and it's a flagrant 2.

Harden is trying to draw the foul.

Bron is generally trying to finish.

Don't say the entire NBA is shit because of one guy playing a certain way though.

If everyone starts to do that 5+ times a game like Harden then you might have a point.

And honestly Harden is really good at sticking his under the arms of dumb defenders that are not paying attention and putting the pressure on the refs.

Those are just warm-up shots that you can't actually take in NBA games with defenders on top of you

Embiid doesn't really jump on his 3s either. And although he's not making them at a great clip, he at least makes enough to keep defenses honest. That's all Ben would need to do too.

And Simmons hasn't had a defender on top of him at the 3 pt line in over a year. He could easily hoist up a shot exactly like this a couple times a game.

Bron hasn't really been getting much elevation on his 3's this year, either. I think that's why he's taking 27+ footers nowadays, haha

I actually thought the Jabari signing was totally justifiable since it's a 1 year deal with a club option and there's nothing wrong with using your cap space on potential high upside guys instead of absorbing salary dumps for picks as long as you're not tethering your future to them. Jabari was a lotto ticket; the Bulls can just toss him out if they didn't win, which they're doing right now. The LaVine contract is obviously a different story.
