Didn't see Harden draw that foul, but was it the typical "run defender over high screen and drag arm" move? I'm getting really tired of that, I think it's starting to hit a fever pitch this season

The Rocket commentators are whiny af.

Gotta be the worst in the league. Sean Elliott is pretty bad for the Spurs, but he at least provides a semblance of self-awareness to his homerness. I don't think Clyde Drexler has that

that's a terrible comparison

Not only that, Harden has done it more than most entire teams this year IIRC. Second-most was Lou

E: Harden got fouled on 40% of 3s this year I believe

Ohhhh that? Yeah, I didn't get a chance to watch the first two games. The stats he handed out in that rant were pretty compelling, but a team committing a bunch of fouls is also a sign of them just getting outmatched.

Either way it seems like it's been a pretty good move strategically. I don't think working the refs is anywhere close to cheating.

The most egregious fact stretch from Fizz (I don't feel strongly about his rant one way or the other) is that he pointed to FT/FG in paint ratio as some sort of marker, ignoring that field goals where the shooter is fouled are counted as an attempt

I feel like Donovan should be fired for this mismanagement, incredible that they went with Roberson instead of say McDermott when you're down that much?

It's indefensible. Roberson is literally costing you entire possessions at the FT line, it doesn't matter what he brings defensively.
