Well, looks like the Rockets got out of paying Harden at the right time.

[Ef-man]

About time the league put a stop to those calls.

Aww man. I was hoping this le was "Steph Curry launches himself into the sun..." . Damn it. Now ya pissed in my cheerios this Tuesday morn'.

A much better example could have been chosen.
The defender does jump forward extensively.

Yeah they tend to enforce new rule changes for about a month and then go back to the old way pretty quickly when the superstars whine.

no its a perfect example.

why is the offensive player allowed to jump forward extensively but not the defender? screw that. just because a defender jumps shouldn't mean you have free reign to launch into him and get rewarded

I agree. I remember one year they called palming really heavily in preseason and then never again

But it is bush league that guys do this. Harden doesn't even look at the basket anymore when he does this bull . Nobody likes watching free throws. Make them harder to get not easier

Exactly
MJ is to this day the most ref protected player ever, BUT he didn't look for fouls (unless he knew what he was doing when attacking the rim), not his fault Stern made him untouchable tbh

[lefty20]

This rule will be a distant memory come All-Star break, tbh.

This. League doesn't have the balls to enforce consistently.

NBA was best in the Clinton and Bush administrations. It really started ging up into zero-defense, zero-halfcourt execution chuckball under one Barack Hussein Obama. True, it got worse under Trump, but, there hasn't been a legit two way basketball team since the Memphis Grit 'n' Grind Grizzlies of the early 2010s who sort of resembled the mid 00s Pistons.

Harden : 0 FT in the 1st half

Harden : 0 FT in the 1st half

Without his usual free throws harden is at best third best player of this nets team behind KD and Mills.
