Game 61 | Cavs (37-23) @ Rockets (40-18) | March 1, 2015 | 3:30pm EST

I hate everyone who thinks the refs were on the Cavs side this game. I'm getting messages from people saying the refs were trying to give the game to us and LeBron couldn't hit his freethrows. But Harden shot 18 freethrows to the Cavs' 21... 33-21. 29 fouls to 20 and Houston was definitely more aggressive. But I live in Toronto, where every Raptors fan hates LeBron. I mean, if the refs weren't trying to make it obvious they were trying to make us lose, they did a bang up job.

i like how people use the no kyrie excuse and fail to see dwight howards 7 foot ass on the bench in a suit.

why no mozgov? its goddamn james harden cutting to the basket.

Dwight Howard is likely to hurt the Rockets more than help them (short term). Montiwhatever is a threat from 3, drawing the opposing C out of the paint, making it that much easier for Harden to draw a foul... er I mean drive the basket.

With Dwight he can't shoot more than 5 feet away from the basket. Harden has a harder time getting to the rim. It's the same principle with LeBron.

It will be a major readjustment period for the team to figure out how to play with a post player, and that is if he accepts being an afterthought to their 3 point shooting...

And Boom.

"The NBA has suspended Houston Rockets guard James Harden for one game after he kicked LeBron James in Sunday's 105-103 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle."

EVEN DWYANE WADE CAN’T GET AWAY WITH KICKING AN OPPONENT IN THE GROIN

he was suspended a game without pay after the league reviewed the play

Harden?

I also believed that James Harden should have been suspended for one game, and fortunately the league decided to suspend him, I believe it was the right call, because as LeBron explained to the media after the game, kicking some one in the groin is not a basketball move.

What I was basically saying in my comment, is that the kick to the groin by Harden made LeBron even more angrier than he was before and it was reflected in his game, by his tight defense on Harden and his powerful drives to the paint.
