I disagree, the guy didn't hit him on the reach in Harden pushed him away first, then jumped into him. They both look like fouls on Harden. And FWIW, this kind of flopping and acting is why he has so many haters. He fouled twice, and should have received a tech, but he's Harden and they never call **** on him.
Not a good no call, It should be an offensive foul. He jumped onto and into another player who was set.
If that's a foul, the NBA would be completely unwatchable and every player would foul out every game.
Did you watch it in slow-mo? He reached in over Harden's shoulder making contact while moving along with Harden. He had not established position but was running alongside Harden. That's a foul no question because it not only made contact but impeded Harden's movement. People can't be objective because they hate Harden. Yes, I hate the ticky-tacky fouls they call, like the ones against Conley when he was guarding CP3. But this was not ticky-tacky.
Whatever ... this is a good example of mob mentality. When people hate something, they can't be objective about it. I don't like the way Harden gets so many dumb calls, but you shouldn't let emotion distort your objectivity. Yes, the second one wasn't a foul against Harden and could've been a foul on him, though I think that was debatable. But the first one definitely was a foul by the defender.
