    Harden will not receive any sympathy around the league by complaining about a referee, particularly when the complaint is that he can't build a "relationship" with him.

    Games like this are a test. We know that he's not going to get all the calls he wants in the playoffs. That's just how it is, and complaining about it probably won't make a difference. Is he able to overcome that or not?

    I think the league wants Harden to have a Temper Tantrum Meltdown like Jordan.
    Problem is Harden will look like a Real Life Murderer by the Dumb Media.

    Don’t give him the 50-50 calls so that’s not the issue. The issue was he was giving out bogus fouls not just on harden but on the entire team when the game was on the line and was trying to influence the result.The NBA has a lot riding on Lebron being in the playoffs and will do whatever possible to get him there.

    Glad he called him out but nothing will come of it besides a $50,000 fine

    That's not even the issue, though. If Harden was driving all game and Foster swallows his whistle every time Harden gets hacked, then you can say that.

    But I've never seen the best two players on a team foul out in the same game before. iirc, half of Harden's fouls were charges, and half of his fouls came with like, 6 minutes left to go in the 1st Q.

    It's not that Harden isn't getting calls - it's that he is getting fouls called against him. Which is outrageous.

    overcome what? rigging and cheating? so it's adelman and sacramento's fault they weren't able to overcome the rigging and cheating?

    btw, how many rings does Harden owe you anyway?
