    I just want to see what ClutchFans thinks. It's an elbow to the face/head. This was a very big play. It gave Boston the ball back, but also gave Boston the potential to get 2 free points and a chance to tie/win the game with the last possession. Ignore everything else(Bradley's 2/3 and Horford's missed lay up), but this single play though.

    Yep, it is the definition of a Flagrant foul and it is why it was called, we had 3 timeouts left, he should have used one.

    Here is the thing. He has done this quite a few times in the past while trying to clear out. Refs just need to be consistent. You can't suddenly call it flagrant after not callling it several times before

    I don't think so, I'm biased as **** but you're letting 2 guys play full contact basketball and penalizing a 3rd for it. It's an offensive foul, if youre not going to call Smart for his blanket act.

    Like I said in the game thread, he didn't kick anybody.

    Clearly.

    Idiotic decision by Harden. We got lucky tonight.

    This is not no damn flagrant foul you dumb asses! It's just a damn offensive foul, nothing more and nothing less!

    Yes, in today's rules it is. It was the correct call.

    You mean it *is* a flagrant foul?

    double negatives always confuse me.

    Obviously correct call. Gotta have the awareness to call a time out in that situation.

    It looked like upper arm, not elbow. Marcus Smart took that bullet pretty well though.

    Yes it was. He swung elbow up high and connected. He can't just assume they're going to foul, he's James Harden. Of course they're going to trap him rather than let him shoot free throws. If you're trapped, call a timeout.

    Watch Isaiah Thomas pull down Montrezl to make a lane for Horford and then trip Beverley.

    This will definitely be a INC foul in the Last 2 Minute report of this game

    It was a flagrant foul, no question. Harden knew it too.
