Harden Smacking Himself In the Face

He also slammed it on the other end of the floor on the/a previous possession and probably should have had a technical but they let it go. So it was fitting that when he did it again he got himself.

WTF are you watching?

There may have been 2 fouls committed there, both by Harden.

1. he pushed a guy in the back
2. a guy standing with his arms straight up and he jumped into him intentionally hitting the guys arms.

Neither of those are fouls on the defender, both should be fouls on Harden.

Oh and Harden should have received a technical for slamming the ball on the floor. Donovan received one for that same thing last year. Except he didn't hit himself in the face.

You must be, and all of the posters here, Harden haters. Either I'm blind or he was first fouled on the reach in as he was dribbling. While Harden pushed off with his arm, it was AFTER he was fouled with the reach in by the defender. I watched it multiple times and enlarged my screen. On the second possible foul, it was close as there was contact. Was the defender in Harden's space when he shot, not allowing him to come down or was Harden getting into the defender's space. That I think probably should've been a no-call but there was definitely contact. So, in my opinion, Harden was fouled while dribbling before he took the shot.
 
The look on Josh Hart's face! Bwahahahaha!

Are you actually serious?! Josh Hart has his feet set and his position established before Harden goes up for the shot. There is no universe in which that could possibly be "Harden't space."

Have to look at it again, but you have to give the offensive player space to come down. If Harden jumped into Hart's space, then yes, it's Harden's foul. But the first reach in was definitely Hart's foul.

It looks like Hart has position before Harden jumps but it's very close and to know for sure I'd have to see it in slow motion. But Hart's feet are definitely under Harden when he comes down. Looks like Harden's upper body rams into Hart, so like I thought before, a good no-call.
