Whoa.
Also, how about all the cheap fouls LMA got!? I mean, that was KAT-like stuff being called on him. The difference is LMA mostly brushed it off whereas KAT goes into his martyrdom routine.
We probably need to look back at this game for some balance the next time we get totally screwed by the refs.

Unsurprisingly, Harden and Nash complained about it...
But I got a chuckle out of scrolling through the accompanying photos. Gotta love this chicken wing image... and can't not wonder how often Harden vs. Towns would get called for it over the course of a year...
[Note: For what it's worth... Harden is #3 in the league in FTA (Giannis/Embiid) and is taking more per game than last season. In fact, he's averaging 9+ attempts per game if you take out the first week or so when the officials clearly were trying to make a point.]
Yeah, Harden's a smart dude and really skilled. He's got incredibly strong hands and elite shiftiness and strength that makes it hard to contest his shot without a lot of contact even when he's not trying to pull his old shenanigans of ramming his arms into guys. I love it though when he flails about and doesn't get calls, as was the case often against the Wolves!
