Knicks: Melo calls out Harden..

[Bulaien999]

He fouled him, stopped then made his motion and got fouked again. He was already going to the line

[Killakobe81]

Melo telling the truth, the same thing we all saw. It's not a skill to get to the free throw line.

Unfortunately ...it is. Harden is the best at it. Stern needs to counsel these refs to stop awarding it. But unitl he does ... it is a skill. i hate it, think it's made and I would want to punch a guy playing pickup, trying to get those fouls. But since the refs are "giving" him those calls, he is smart for doing so. Without it Rox at LEASt lose two more games and are outside the playoff hunt if the season ended today. With his plays Rox will probably win what 12 games primarily because of Harden's aggressiveness, flops and bad calls? This is on stern. He needs to step in for "basketball reasons" ...

[Killakobe81]

Seems like a few still butthurt from 12.

No need. Howard looks like on offense. still the best rebounder in the NBA and a great shotblocker. But his season is going perfect hor Howard haters. He was getting neutralized by Bargiani and his own limited post game last night ... tbh.
Rox look good but Howard is failing on offense.

Like I said above I cant blame Harden for playing smart. It's -made but effective. funny thing is some ing about it on here fully supported Manu's flops ... or Fisher's fake charges.

melo refuses to flip which is one of the only things i respect about him. gets all his points legit instead of being a flailing little ....

the irony

Not really dude. Just drawing attention to the guy who supposedly is on top of the SG chain these days when by this point in his career wade had already shown balls of steel in the playoffs since his rookie season and lead his team to a ship (instead of choked in a no pressure 3rd fiddle role).

I wasn't referring to you or Lakerfan, Killa. I was referring to the spurfans that are still hurt about Harden taking a on them on the way to the finals for doing the exact same things Ginobli does. Hypocritical.

Gets all his points chucking his team out of games. Agree.

My bad. We are in agreement. if you supported fisher or Manu flops ... then be mad at the refs not Harden. He is taking advantage of teh shoddy reffing. My thing is I dont believe they are favoring Harden or Durant as a conspitracy ...the refs are just ty. They favor stars even more than they did in the past ... rooks get screwed and they are rewarding players like Harden, Paul and Durant when THEY are the ones initiating contact. They also support homecookin' as well ...they just suck. but they suck on BOTH sides. So rarely does a team lose SOLELY based on refs. However it does seem Rox are getting a huge advantage here, but it wont matter when they face the Heat.

Yeah. The Rockets won't realize their full potential until McHale is gone and I've been sayin it since last year. Guy cannot draw up a single play. The stretch he was gone last year, Kelvin Sampson took over and the team went something like 6-3 or 7-2. He would do a much better job, and the team wouldn't rely so much on free throws if they had an actual offense. ISO Harden is going to either get him hurt, or cost games.

Tbh, Melo's selfish volume chucking is arguably worse than Durant and Harden's ref reliance.... KD and Harden over the other team with their flopping and BS calls, but Melo s over his own team whenever he goes into black-hole mode and freezes out his teammates, tbh....

JVG would be amuch better coach because he would demand more of Dwight and Harden. But my guess to please Dwight and to a lessor extent Harden they will get a "players coach" or a young assistant type they can be buddies with.

Not that I've been a supporter of Ginobili's flops, but I don't think their comparable to what Harden does. Ginobili flops to draw offensive fouls and blocking fouls usually without going into a shot. He doesn't drive with the sole purpose of drawing contact. What Harden does is more like what Parker does into when he's injured or being lazy (see the second half of the Finals).

Wade gets injured too much. It happens. Ginboili once was one of the best shooting guards in the league, and still is in someways, but he's not gonna get the hype like someone Harden, or the new gen guys.

[Rogue]

signing a yellow scrub also comes with benefits imho, despite the money wasted. NY could've matched Houston's offer for Jeremy Rin but they didn't, they let him walk. Only time will tell whether it was a good decision or a bad one for the team's long-term interest.
