[Highlight] James Harden drops Scottie Barnes and gets an extremely high friendly bounce on the 3-pointer (with a replay).
Drops is crazy bro thats a push
LinkedIn ass title
90% of “ankle breakers” are just pushes, stepping on someone’s foot or other similar offensive fouls. I don’t like that they allow this shit just for the crowd’s reaction to it.
This isn’t even an ankle breaker though, he just straight up pushes him over
Dropped him like a fighter drops his opponent.
Perfect forearm extension execution.
Vintage flamethrower
He looks like Marshawn Lynch
Egregious no call on the push off
Agree, but also sold by the pretty-obvious flop.
I don’t pretend to know the refs’ minds, but I’m thinking in such cases they might be saying: “it’s the PO’s, you each get to act a bit, and that’s okay.”
*shrug*
It was a very high push off with impact lol, no subtlety whatsoever and right infront of the ref.
Scottie was completely on balance and still fell over. Not sure how that’s a flop
It was a very high push off with impact
I’ve seen far worse that’s not been called. I’d call that one no more than mid-tier.
“Not sure how that’s a flop”
Scottie was completely on balance and still fell over.
Good. Answered your own Q.
Dude if you don’t see him taking 4 steps and then sitting down to sell it I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
You probably thing the refs haven’t favored the raptors all series as well, right?
No u
relax
Trademark Pushoff, people forgot who SGA picked it up from
Yeah, but sga would’ve flung his head back to get the and one
Harden did that one later lol
Everything about this clip is funny from the uncalled push to Harden waiting to shoot while aura farming in the playoffs to his shot looking like a brick to it actually going in. Pure cinema.
Such a disingenuous title lmao. Obvious offensive foul.
pushed the shitta outta Scottie*
Punched him in the chest lol
nice pushoff lol
Typical NBA style officiating. Offensive players get to maul the defender, but if a defender stands too close to a jump shooter it’s a foul.
This sub once again displaying their lack of ball knowledge lmaooooo
It’s clear as day on video and the ref is looking right at it, he clearly does not straighten his elbow and push. Every player in the league uses their forearm arms are allowed too as long as they don’t extend the elbow to continue a push.
yk ball… unfortunately this sub only looks at numbers & don’t know technique of basketball. all of the shit these stars do are learned at camps, if harden did a full extension then it’s a push off, a chicken wing is allowed which is what we saw & scottie flopped. harden not pushing that big mf off his feet that easily lol. this sub stupid as hell bro
It was a pretty obvious flop too, people have to have a better understanding of how these bodies move out there…. But then again I dunno how much actual ball has been played by people here lol
LET EM ANCHOVY KNOW
Dropped? Thats push
Man tumped Scottie’s whole chest in.
Natural shoving motion
Least obvious Harden push off
Refs are watching the game just like us 😹✌🏽
Nah they called plenty of no contact fouls on Cavs players to keep the raptors alive all game
One of the worst no call I have ever seen.
Insane how they still give Harden such a special treatment.
I thought refs dont give Harden special treatment in the playoffs?
While I do think it’s a no call, not calling a stiff arm like that from stars is pretty common now unfortunately.
I really don’t care if it’s a push-off with the obvious flop right after it.
Bro dead ass trucked Scottie
Looks like he pushed and tripped him
Bro threw him out the way like he was trying to save $5 on a toaster during Black Friday
That bounce gives me PTSD
Hands out but Barnes also flops to fucking hell. Take like 4 steps before sitting down
Gave Barnes the Heisman stiff arm.

Hold that chicken wing🐔
Here ya go 🤡
Harden’s arm isn’t even touching Scottie at this point in your frame lol
Glaze
That was a punch off
The replay wasn’t clear but I don’t think it’s a push-off Scottie kinda exagerated his fall tho, imo.
He literally jams his forearm in and extends its a text book push off lol
Harden is the master of aura farming. ANKLE BREAKER 😤
Push offs are stupid and have greatly diminished my joy in watching the game. Just as much as flopping.
I miss Iverson.
For those saying push off, there’s no arm extension for it to be called. Scottie tried to sell the call
it’s a forearm bash to the chest
He didnt stiff arm him but the angle makes it hard to tell if he didnt extend after the elbow made contact. And it looks ridiculous to sprit at a player with your forearm anyway lol.
And I know because Tatum goes it all the time on his drives
If this was a game 15 years ago that gets called in 0.1 seconds and Harden doesn’t even complain because it’s so obvious
If this game was 15 years ago he wouldn’t be shooting a 3 at all.
Lots of crying raptors go back to the Late Cretaceous period
Do you have fucking eyes?
