'I just want a fair chance, man,” James Harden said after Houston's Game 1 loss to the Golden State Warriors. “Call the game how it’s supposed to be called, and that’s it. I’ll live with the results.”
Rockets guard James Harden was upset with the officiating throughout Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Warriors. By Ben Golliver Ben Golliver NBA reporter Email Bio Follow April 28 at 9:05 PM The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets spent much of a chippy Game 1 lobbying for calls and expressing their dissatisfaction with the officials.
The NBA’s reigning MVP finished with a team-high 35 points, shooting 9 for 28 from the field and 4 for 16 from beyond the arc. He attempted 14 free throws, but Harden said that he should have been awarded more — in part because Golden State’s defenders were sliding underneath him as he attempted three-pointers. By league rules, a defensive player can be called for a foul if he slides underneath a shooter and doesn’t allow him enough room to safely land.
“We all know what happened a few years back with Kawhi,” Harden said. “That can change the entire series. Just call the game the way it’s supposed to be called, and we’ll live with the results. It’s plain and simple.” The Warriors’ counterargument, though, is that Harden often drifts forward during his shooting motion, sometimes substantially so. That forward movement turns Harden’s “landing zone” — where defenders are not allowed to enter without risking a slide-under foul — into a gray area. By league rules, an offensive player can also be called for a foul if he initiates contact with a defender by kicking out his legs during his shooting motion.
Meanwhile, D’Antoni and Rockets guard Chris Paul were issued technical fouls late in the third quarter, and Paul was ejected in the game’s closing seconds for arguing a call.
