    I'm surprised I didn't see this posted yet. Coach Nick and Ronnie Nunn break down the controversy over Harden's foul calls during his recent stretch of dominant play:

    Part 1: going to the basket, 2 shot fouls


    Part 2: perimiter and 3 shot fouls

    Ever since Coach Nick and his douchebag co-host hated on the Rockets' chances of up-ending the Warriors last year, he's been a queef in my book.

    Biggest takeaway was that Nunn said that Harden leans in for the contact where the ref calls foul on the defender for sliding under. I'm watching those same clips and don't see it...

    Using the rules to your advantage is called being smart. If you have to call it exploiting, sure and heck yeah! And only really good players are capable of doing that!

    I hate that people think they can slip a knee into Harden's path on drives
    That is not what they mean by Using your feet to stay in front of him
