Usually if someone sneezes on Harden, it's a foul. Apparently, Lebron is the exception.

No foul call on Lebron on late shot clock drive by Harden? Is this a joke?


I thought it was a vintage harden flop trying to get the call...he basically held james arm and acted like he was held by him


If that were Lebron driving, no question the whistle blows imo.

Harden showing that he deserves that "best SG in the game" moniker.

Yea I didn't mind it that because clearly Harden purposely tangled his arm with Lebron's arm to draw the foul. Refs weren't having it, but yea if its anyone else they might call a flagrant on the guy defending Harden.

Refs are catering to Bron and the Cavs today. That's for sure.

What about that looked like a flop to you? it was either a hold or a hook, neither player reacted much at all other than bewilderment, that was a lovers arm lock

This. You have to call something/anything on that.

8 missed free throws, 20 missed shots, 4 turnovers, he failed to finish time and again on drive after drive when he had a chance to close-out the game ... and despite all of that, LeBron still looks like the best player in the world by a significant margin ...

Good game, though somewhat meaningless without Dwight and Kyrie on the court (and Marion might have been helpful for the Cavs today, too) ...

A call on LeBron on that exchange would have been preposterous ... not sure how it might have been called an offensive foul, but watch the replay 10 or 20x and explain how it could have possibly been anything other than that ...

If Harden and Lebron switched lines, Cleveland would have won that game by double figures, they were really only in it because they absolutely annihilated Houston on the boards.

Then you call it a bleeping offensive hold. I've seen that type of call many times.

Is "offensive hold" in the rulebook?

Wait, are you suggesting that swapping each player onto the other's team would have resulted in a double-digit loss for LeBron's Rockets? Or better still, are you suggesting that Harden is a better player? If so (on either), I don't know that I buy that ...

I think LeBron played like garbage by his standards, which says a lot ...

Idk. Check for it yourself. Bottom line is that those type of fouls on the offensive player have been called before. Just not today.
