re: McHale on the Missed Foul on Harden

But the foul on Harden was blatantly obvious. And the Rockets shot only 5 free throws last night and had 50 points in the paint. Kind of questionable that they only shot 5 free throw attempts when they were getting inside that much. That is the lowest for any team in the NBA this year.

I'm not saying the refs weren't one sided last night, as I didn't watch the game. I just think it generally evens out unless you're a Mavs fan and Dan Crawford is your ref.

I said this last night, but I actually think Harden's arm flair hurt him in getting that foul call. It made it look like all he was trying to do was get the foul, not score. When someone slaps you on the wrist like that, your arms don't naturally move like that. It should have been called, but in real speed I can understand why they didn't call it. It looked like he wanted a bail out, but obviously that wasn't the actual case.
