LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers said the reason his team isn't fouling Houston Rockets guard James Harden as much is because his players are pulling their arms and hands back when he drives the lane.

Harden has a different viewpoint.

"Do you think so?" Harden said after scoring 21 points in the Rockets' blowout 128-95 loss to the Clippers on Sunday. "I've got a couple of scratches on my arms to show you. But it is what it is."

Harden led the NBA during the regular season in free throws made (715), attempted (824) and was second in fouls drawn per game at 6.7.

During the postseason, Harden has drawn an average of 6.2 fouls per game, fifth in the league. In the Game 4 loss, Harden drew seven fouls, three more than the previous game.

"Like I said, it is what it is," Harden said. His overall game has struggled at times and after making his first three shots, he misfired on his next seven attempts.

Harden played off the ball in Game 4 with the objective of getting involved through screens and pick-and-roll plays. It didn't happen enough as the Rockets' offense was slowed down.

The most despicable player of the last decade, at least. Damn shame Ron Ron didn't finish the job way back when.

then calls a foul when someone sets a pick on him

Don't see how anyone can stan James Harden.

Then again there's a Dion Waiters and K Rhino stan on here..

Doesnt't get to the line 20 times...

Complains...

@HNIC973 I was kinda wishing they got a Memphis matchup, Harden and Dwight would be faking injuries by game 3 tops

@ the bolded wtf are you talking about... Flopdens whole game is based around going to the line

I kinda worded that bad but I mean he wasn't looking to score. He just wanted to get to the free throw line. He didn't even look at the basket. He did that a lot last year and not much at all this year. Yea he still played the crafty game but he also was looking to score by throwing up good shots.
