    Dirty but provoked.

    I hope Dunleavy is suspended for a game as well.

    I didn't see the game and of course didn't see what Dunleavy did either, but that was dirty. He deserved to be kicked out the game.

    Dirty play. Refs let it get to that point by not whistling Dunleavy for his dirty plays.

    You are down by 30. What possible reason is there to do that?

    What did Dunleavy do? What am I missing here?

    Looks dirty to me also, but anyone have an explanation or video of what Dunleavy did?

    I think it was a great football play. No unnecessary roughness. It was a legal tackle.

    From what I remember, Dunleavy popped Giannis in the face twice, also hit someone else. All looked pretty dirty.


    I like it, the refs weren't doing **** about it, so he took in into his own hands

    Dunleavy was asking for it, was playing dirty the whole game. But don't call for a open field tackle in mid court.

    Dunleavy went into the Bucks fans so that is also another thing since he hurt the fans.

    Dunleavy had hit MCW in the neck 2x in the game on cheap shots. The previous play Dunleavy had stepped on Greeks shoe and knocked him down. All three of Dunleavys offenses were unchecked by the refs. Greek responded by taking his ass down.

    Definitely dirty, but flagrant 2? I'm not sure. It wasn't a shot to the head, but was definitely unnecessary and excessive. He essentially tackled him and tried (and failed) to make it look like he couldn't stop himself.

    OK, that's fine then. Sounds similar to Bird, Parish and McHale each punching Laimbeer at different times in their career.

    That's the exact definition of a Flagrant 2.

    that was just dirty play period. obviously he did it on purpose and with intent. could have been worse if giannis was stronger and not still weak

    It was dirty.

    Something to think about that Ryan Rusillo brought up earlier today, retaliation seems to be worse on white dudes lately...
