    Hahahaha even in 1-on-1, Harden could’ve been one of the best without it. Now he’ll be remember for playoff failures and foul baiting.

    this is what a coach trying to game and influence the refs looks like

    Everyone views foul-baiting as a bad thing, but IMO it's just a smart offensive player getting the defender into an illegal defensive position and then attacking.

    It's not necessarily the most fun thing to watch, but you have to respect the talent that it takes to be good at it.

    Should have spent more time preparing the team instead of trying to influence the refs. Getting blown out in a Game 7 at home is embarrassing

    JB Bickerstaff cried about the refs all series

    it got to the point where it was getting beyond ridiculous

    the Pistons are incapable of playing defense without fouling

    a Piston would get called for a foul and then him, all the players on the court, and all the players plus assistants on the bench would start losing their sh*t…then the replay would show an obvious foul plus 2 fouls before the one that got called

    yes, Harden snapped his head back, but Jenkins literally grabbed his arm while he was dribbling causing Harden to lose the rock…and you saw JB Bickerstaff’s head turning red screaming at the ref

    it’s a foul JB…you’re embarrassing yourself atp

    Jb is still mad he got canned in one season after proving to be the worst coach in rockets history

    This dumb prick won 41 games with a better roster than the one kevin mchale of all people took to the conference finals

    He’s the best ever But when you need a game winning play he’s so focused on getting the foul he forgets to focus on the shot or pass. This is the tragic flaw. You can’t count on a whistle in the playoffs. If he could flip the switch when it needs to be flipped his career narrative might be different.

    JB Bickerstaff is mediocre.

    His daddy was as quick as a whip though..... came from a long line of coal miners in poverty and made himself into a basketball coach.

    JB must have inherited his mother’s coaching talent.

    That's nothing. I actually saw Kevin Martin in pregame shoot around practice shooting while jerking his body like he's being fouled. That dude is dedicated.
