    True. If refs called step back 3 to 4 steps travel, then it’s first round exit.

    WWE is done forever. NFL refs ****ed up too this year. So it’s not just only in the NBA

    I love Harden but he does a lot of little things to manufacture fouls and such. Last night, I noticed several times when Harden would flail his arms or fall backward as if he had been hit when the replay would show little or no contact from the defender. CP3 also employs a lot of "crafty" little moves as well. It was only a matter of time before the league took notice of Harden's hops and steps. They (NBA League office) has operated his way for decades - the Jordan Rules being the exception - so it should come as no surprise to anyone.

    I don’t trust Tim d.
    Refs are not calling travel to superstars such as curry, Lebron, harden.

    I don’t know what to say about this. If true, then we are all fools for supporting this abuse of power! I’m starting to lean towards the dark side and think there are strings being pulled by the puppet masters!

    Harden is going to get robbed...


    Go Rockets!!! :(

    It's further proof that Lebron colluded with Silver over the weekend to ensure that he and the Lakers make it into the playoffs to increase league ratings.

    I don't know what move they are going to take away from Harden. It can't be his step back because a lot of players in the league are utilizing the step back 3 now. It's like the Euro step when Manu brought it to the NBA in that it's not a staple. If they are going to make that kind of change in terms of calling it a travel no doubt there will be a call made to Silver's office by the president of the NBAPA.

    After what Donaghy did and even more information coming to light, I wonder if this is a result of all of it.

    Wouldn't be surprised at all if the NBA decided to put more of an emphasis on Harden's push offs to clear space for himself. It's a bad look for the league if lots of players are complaining about one guy getting the preferential treatment, even their complaints are kind of BS.

    Calling travel on his step backs would be much more difficult to justify.
