    No question he did, but so what? There's contact on almost every play.

    It was AFTER the play.

    Harden went out of his way to impede Artest from going up court. When
    he felt contact, he intentionally got in Artest's way even more.

    Artest should be thrown out of the game of basketball, but Harden
    should have gotten a technical.

    It was after *a* play, but wasn't it during another play? Or was the ball not yet inbounds?

    I agree with the first (although that's a very common maneuver). I didn't see the second.

    I'd be fine with Harden getting a tech, but it doesn't seem that is called often, if ever.

    1) no

    3) true, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't in general be called. It also doesn't make me "feel sorry" for Harden.

    and seriously i hadnt really thought about it, why is harden checking artest there? okc is going on offense, were the lakers trapping or something? you would think harden would be trying to get open, not post him up 80 feet from the basket
