  1. Am I the only one here who believes the refs made the correct call? I mean dude blatantly punched him in the nuts on purpose. That's bullshit

  2. I've seen this ovously Harden didn't do that on person he was trying to press against his stomach with his forearm but got him in the d*** refs where trying they best to rig that game. If I'm the commissioner, me and that ref going to have a long conversation. That's bad for the game that call and you can hate James Harden and emit that

  3. Sorry, but I think the officials called this game overall correctly. Embiid's kick did not have a lot of force behind it. If they ejected him, I wouldn't have been surprised, but you also have to be careful to kick out a star player as it changes the course of the game in a playoff series. While Embiid's kick was not forceful, and I believe Claxton flopped somewhat, Harden's swipe at the Net player was much more forceful and damaging a blow in terms of actual hurt and damage caused. You also have to factor in that Claxton did not have to walk directly over Embiid, which was clearly for intimidation. The court is big enough a space that he did not need to step over him, which as a man is humiliating. I had no problem with the tech they called on Claxton. If Claxton's momentum made him HAVE TO step over Embiid, then you let it go and play on. Ejecting Claxton also was fair because you can't stare down a player that obviously for that long. Yes, a stare is a stare but the officials have to avoid a brawl like we saw in Detroit decades ago
