Brooklyn Nets Superstar James Harden was not too happy about a foul call. The Superstar was driving against Lonzo Ball and hooked his left arm and was called for the offensive foul. The Chicago Bulls and the Nets are facing off. This could be a potential playoff series in the Eastern Conference.

Harden looked very frustrated after the call was made as he didn't agree with it. There wasn't much to argue if you are Harden as it was clear that he hooked his arm against Lonzo Ball and the referee made the correct call.

Harden has been struggling with these calls all season. His numbers are the lowest of most of his career. Harden is only averaging 18.7 points per game. He is only shooting 40% from the field.

James Harden really needs to figure out these new rules. If he doesn't the Nets are not going to win an NBA title. In order for the Nets to win they're going to need Harden to play at an MVP-type level and right now he's not even playing like an All-Star. Things are going to get interesting in the Eastern Conference. If the Nets don't have Harden playing as he can, they will have another disappointing year in the East.

The NBA made the decision to cut out these calls and that's exactly what they're doing. The product that they're giving the world is much better than what was seen in previous years with all the offensive foul baiting.
