There's no rhyme or reason to how these officials operate. That Westbrook halfcourt heave where he got tripped is the first time Ive ever seen a player get 3 free throws in a situation like that. Both Paul and Curry should have gotten 3 on the intentional fouls but refs ignore the rulebook whenever they feel like it.

My problem with Harden has been the same for years and consistently the same. I have no problem with somebody that exaggerates contact while keeping a natural shooting motion and truly trying to score. Harden completely sells out trying to draw a foul, usually contorting his body and throwing up a prayer of a shot. For most players if they are flopping and no foul is called it still looks like a regular shot. With Harden it leaves you saying WTF is that?
I guess it comes down to form? Cause Steph just exaggerated contact and changed his natural shooting form tryna draw a foul and dudes are saying he should have got free throws for it.

That's why I said a few pages back Paul got fukked. He was actually more in the shooting motion than Westbrook at the time of the foul too. No reason at all Paul shouldn't have had three shots. Damn shame bad reffing is at the center of so many of these great games. You got these teams fighting tooth and nail only to be at the whim of inconsistent refs. That should be Silva's highest priority over a damn age limit.
