Kevin McHale said the refs missed the call, Randolph hit Harden's arm

Who cares.

Foul calls get missed multiple teams in every NBA game. It happens. No reason to cry over spilled milk.

"Zach Randolph killed him!"

What? Real time that definitely looked like Randolph got the ball.

Okay, that makes up for one of his flops.

NBA agreed with him. It's good to hear from the NBA on this it means they are taking notice and hopefully the scrub ref who missed the call won't be doing any playoff games.

All the Harden haters going to come out and bitch that he flops too much.

Truth is he doesn't flop anymore than most other basketball players. He really is fouled most of the time he gets the calls. He draws them in with his euro step and extending the ball out in front of his body, and gets fouled a shite ton for it.

23 players this year have violated the NBA flopping rule, none are named James Harden.

It was a foul. Harden also does a great job of drawing fouls, sometimes with flopping, but the majority of the time without it. No one in the league does a better job of creating contact.

That being said, you can't pick out one call from an entire game and blame the game on that. If you want to do that, you can call it even for the one time Harden shot 25 FT against the Grizz. That was more egregious than the missed call yesterday.

I don't have a problem with missed calls when they aren't that obvious. It happens. Like the graze of the arm against Gasol. Very light contact. Hard to see in real time. I can see a call like that being missed.

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.
