Time for Ariza, Harden and Dwight to go to work.

[IronMonkey415]

To the top, must I do everything around here.

[drob50]

Chris Paul is not human! What a sequence by him doing it all!

[paul06901]

More James Harden bogus BS!

Flail around like a ragdoll and jump into defenders to get calls - BS!

As well as the and-1 call on Rivers where Harden wouldn't let Rivers get around him and then threw his ass into him as he shot the floater. That was so damn bogus. Harden was literally looking over his shoulder to see where he should throw his body.


They need to start calling it an offensive foul.

To be fair, CP3 does it too on the break. Will run in front of bigger players then slam on the breaks. That's a dangerous play and not a basketball play, they should start calling it an offensive foul.

Just as much as you have to give a shooter his space, that should apply in those cases to a defender simply trying to avoid contact.

good call with leaving howard in with 2 fouls (howard called to stay in the game). i love mchale as a coach and he has been great so far in coaching. i just hope dwight can keep it together a bit more coming later in the game.

wow, james harden just threw himself into cp3... WOW.

[paul06901]

ANOTHER bogus Harden call where he runs into the defender and throws up a wild shot and gets the "LATE" whistle


UNREAL! TERRIBLE!

That was unbelievable! Lol. Wow.

[bdoody42]

Hrqden has been very solid this quarter. Rockets are playing much better.

James 'whistle' Harden ... already 9-9 FT in the first half with 5 minutes left.

Unreal. This guy would average 15ppg if it weren't for the bogus foul calls he always gets.


Refs did a great job of not falling for that flopping crap the last few games, and the Clippers won because they deserved to.


Now they're back to calling the Harden flops and we see what an impact it has on the game! :eatit:

[JerseyCP3]

Hahaha. That miss by Howard. He is the worst FT shooter in the game.

[JerseyCP3]

Blake!!!!!

[drob50]

Worst 'hack-a' backfire of all time?? lol

[paul06901]

I love the "hack-a" rule.

Learn to shoot the ball. Too damn bad for the flow & fans.

Dwight has had 10 years to learn how to make a FT, and he still hasn't. He's just a big, tall, strong guy with very little basketball skill & talent. Just incredibly athletic and physically gifted.

Hack away!

This I agree with.

[bdoody42]

Why do defenders fall for Harden and his moves? The refs wouldn't call these fouls if players didn't make contact.

If you're a defender even within a few feet of Harden, and play good defense on his initial move, he will throw his body into you. There's absolutely no defending a guy who gets away with an offensive foul on every play.



Interesting thing about this game is to see how little respect BG gets from the refs, and how Harden sits on a throne of flopping and push-offs.

He does get superstar calls like most stars. I think a lot of defenders defend him as smart as they could.

[paul06901]

DIRTY DWIGHT!


Such a scummy player. Love to see him fail!

[paul06901]

DIRTY DWIGHT ... Again!


Such a punk!

[Jedi1823]

The refs are desperately trying to get this game calmed down so there won't be any punches thrown.

i disagree with what u said about lebron but you are spot on here, this guy gets more whistles than anyone ive ever seen play the game. without getting all these fts he is a 16-18 ppg guy.

[JerseyCP3]

Hahah. Harden. Stop it.

[RYBOWSKI97]

if blake griffin keeps this pace up into next season he will be an easy mvp choice. i remember people talking about him being soft a few years ago, he must of got sick of hearing that cause he is a machine out there. very hard not to root for this guy...even though i want them to win, i really dont want to see the cavs potentially play them in the finals...the clips are the real deal!
