Harden was fishing for a call the entire play; he had no intention of actually trying to hit his shot. Refs noticed and let the play go.
Dumbass is lucky it wasn't called.

Agree, good refs aren't going to call that bull with 2 seconds to go.
dude is such an annoying player, he is incredible with the ball but man his foul searching is annoying as . i dont get how the refs can continually call that bull rip through move he's trying, he literally initiates all the contact on those shots and just chucks it up there, idk how the managed to call this on 3 pointers three times in a single gameglad they swallowed their whistles on that bull
what a surprising thread from the OP, tbh..
Good no call...they could of called Anderson for a moving screen or Harden for a push off as well - which also were good no calls. Let the players decide the outcome unless there is an obvious advantage gained from a foul
Wasn't a foul, was just fishing.
This, is a foul

Take off the homer troll glasses. It was a foul. Simmons even fell after his momentum carried him into Harden.
Op wanted Houston to win because he's a biga fan of Sam Decker and Ryan Anderson...tbh
Fishing for fouls is a smart way to play and intelligence should be rewarded if it works. I agree.
Why don't you write a book about it ya little .
I don't give a . A win is a win.
Except that time when they gave Fish an extra .01 to shoot. And the foul on Barry.
Seemed more like Simmons landed too close to hardens feet, harden couldnt come down straight started to fall kicking Simmons feet out making Simmons fall on him
Harden kicked out his leg just like WestBrick does when he jacks up a 3 **hoping** to draw a foul.![]()
Close. Harden goes up with his feet square. On the way down, he twists and kicks out his left foot to hook Simmons. You can even see that his right foot comes down way outside the 3P line - it's just the extended left leg that Simmons gets tangled with. But, yeah, there's another angle where you can see that Harden made sure to hook Simmons' legs on the way down, to make sure he fell.
Harden is a tricky bas , and the refs give him way too much. But imagine the screaming if Simmons hadn't contested that shot hard, and it had gone in.

League says correct no call:

It also says that Kawhi was fouled by Harden on his drive at around 33 seconds. And that the officials missed both a travel on KL and a 3-second violation on LMA during the possession leading to Patty's game winner.
Eh, it's refreshing to see Spurrefs sometimes. We don't get it much, so enjoy it.
"If an offensive player with the ball can draw his defender into the air towards him (for example, on a pump fake), and he creates contact with the defender during his shooting motion, it is a shooting foul. However, if the defender is vertical (jumping straight up and down) or going to completely miss the offensive player (e.g., jumping to his side), and the offensive player seeks out contact with the airborne defender, it is an offensive foul if the contact is more than marginal (that is, minimal contact will not be called)."
It looks to me that Harden came down with his left leg initiating the contact. It's his go to move.
He fell because Harden flopped on the ground like a moron and caught Simmons in the act.
Was late AF and staged.
Get ya 'have a clue' glasses on tbh
Refs are well trained to swallow it in the end.
