🏀 “An unacceptable Flagrant 2 — the first time I’ve been ejected. I’m not labeled as a dirty player.' James Harden was baffled by his ejection from the Sixers' Game 3 win over the Nets. NBAPlayoffs
In the 14th postseason of his 14-year NBA career, Harden had been frustrated with the lack of whistles in his favor during the Sixers’ wins in Games 1 and 2. He finally drew his first foul shots of the series 28 seconds into Thursday’s game. “I didn’t even think it was a foul on me,” he said. “Somebody’s draped on me, your natural reaction is to use your off arm and get them off a little bit, and that was it. There wasn’t a wind-up, elbow — none of that.
The ejection decision abruptly halted Harden’s night at a stat line of 21 points on 8-for-15 shooting, five rebounds, and four assists. He sounded genuinely mystified about what constitutes an ejection and why he had to cheer on Tyrese Maxey, De’Anthony Melton and company from behind the scenes in the fourth quarter instead of sharing the floor with them.
“I have no idea,” Harden said. “But for me, to get my first ejection on a play like that where there’s no hostile act, that’s unacceptable. I’ve seen other calls, other plays and things like that … but come on.”“Horrible. And I was having an OK game!” he said with a laugh what asked about his feelings following the ejection. “I’m aggressive a little bit. You know what I mean? I don’t want that. It can’t happen again, unless it’s called for.
