I don't mind him. It's his father and his ******** younger brothers I can't stand.

I admit, most of my joy comes from how his father will react

Jamal Crawford

Vast majority of his are legit and he's not actively looking to sucker the refs in

Yeah he is, he just goes about it in a different way. He draws his with the way he lands whereas Harden will get his getting a shot up.

 

[Drummer_19]

Good work Lake show, a few more of those plz.

Sexy Devin sure knows how to kill a debate

Harden isn't the only one though obviously he is the biggest offender.

In general I believe that if a three-point shooter initiates contact by contorting his body in a manner than reduces the likelihood of hitting the shot then it shouldn't be a foul. I've played over a thousand games of basketball and watched hundreds more and nobody at any level naturally shoots by throwing themselves sideways.

Harden is a little different in that he often just throws up a shot the moment he feels even incidental contact. Referees should just refuse to call any but the most obvious fouls. It'd only take a game or two of Harden throwing up ridiculous air balls and he'd stop doing.

More broadly though it is time to shift the rules in favour of the defender. Time to relax the hand-check rules. Offensive schemes are now too sophisticated for the defense that you can now play (the opposite was true 10 - 15 years ago).

Have noticed this creeping in to end of game situations.

Can't remember the player, but it happened a couple of weeks ago - someone took a lower percentage shot to win the game in an attempt to draw some kind of contact. Instead of shooting with usual motion they shot it like they were hopping on to a boogie board... looked daft as hell.

Do they get suspended without pay?

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Yikes - NBA is usually pretty easy going with that stuff so it must be different to the usual.

I love how Chicago can lose at home to Philly when a playoff spot is on the line.

Good job team.

GM's or players?

Honestly don't know the answer because it happens so little.

Turkoglu got hit a couple of years back, but you're right it's quite rare.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Not happy with Booker?

Outstanding.

Playoffs is literally the worst thing we could do

 

[mickelboy182]

Booker is pretty good you guys, perhaps even better than Mudiay!

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Ahem. Show yourself DangerSloane

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Booker also had 8 boards 6 assists 3 steals and a block. Did have 5 TO's so luckily it's a positive assist to turnover ratio

 

[DontArgue4]

all this crying over harden drawing contact when the defenders are too stupid to keep their hands up, yet totally ignore that he hit the game clinching 3 and dropped 38,17,7
