James Harden sure didn’t like how a teammate tried to pick him up off the floor

James Harden and the Houston Rockets had a frustrating day in their Game 1 loss the Golden State Warriors in Oakland on Sunday.

Chris Paul got tossed for arguing with the refs.

Harden wasn’t happy with the refs but he also wasn’t happy with teammate PJ Tucker and how he tried to pick Harden up off the court after a late drive to the hoop.

Does Harden even flop when being touched by a teammate? It’s a joke, Rockets fans. Calm down.
