    God between Lin and Harden Houston is trying to give this game away.

    I think that both opponents and refs have figured Harden out. He really just barrels into the paint and jumps into contact, but more defenders have started just jumping away from him, and he'll just fall on his face without a whistle.

    I think it is more the Laker/Howard factor. He will gets the calls against most everyone else.

    Harden fouled twice and Meeks stepped out of bounds on that dunk

    Harden vs his former team. It's gonna be interesting.

    I'd agree that the Lakers get some calls, but I'm not sold on that being the reason Harden wasn't getting the whistles. I remember when he played the Grizz this past weekend, there was the same situation with the calls.

    He got absolutely mauled on two drives in OT by Howard.

    I'm good with both of those no-calls. It's a cheap way to get a foul just by jumping into someone. Howard was perfectly vertical on that last one, and Harden just jumped into him. He got him on the arm on the way down, well after the shot, but that something I wouldn't call in that situation, because it was pretty incidental and didn't effect the play whatsoever.

    I hope you are right. Maybe some day those no-calls will be in a Portland game.

    It's going to be a sweep by OKC. 4-1 if Houston can somehow stop Westbrook and Durant for one game.

    basically. there will be a lot of Hype....Harden may have one good game, maybe the opening one...but OKC-L*kers in the WCF.

    There were several times I've seen Houston absolutely dominate some teams this year out of nowhere, and they did it with their three point shooting. If Harden, Parsons, and Delfino get going from long range, they can steal one from any team. Of course, still got OKC though...

    Sounds like Lillard the last few games. Wonder if the refs have started playoff mode early.

    I don't understand why some of you are still surprised when the NBA rigs games. How are you not used to this by now?
