    I think that act on Dirk was flagrant. Howard obviously broke Dirk's heart with that thunderous block. That's mean.

    figures. Of course, fans will be like "why y'all bringing up old stuff" and opponents will be like "YEAH, nba, won't suspend him when they're playing but now that they're out they suspend him for a game next year. Pfft".

    I know JVG spouts a lot of sarcastic rhetoric, but maybe he's on to something regarding one source reviewing all potential flagrant plays from afar. Not that that guarantees any better consistency... and I do agree with the counterpoint(s) made regarding being there and judging with the feel of the game and circumstances.

    Mostly, I wonder if they'll let Bogut get away with cheating on every play against their flavorite King James and co.

    Amazing how many moving screens we got called for considering GS ran a Moving Screen offense and rarely if ever got called for it. It will be interesting to see how they respond if they aren't allowed to continue with it on a more national stage... I mean, they have obviously put so much time and work into perfecting it.

    What worries me Is if a player gets a monster block on a player (all ball) and causes the player to fall down, the nba will probably call it a flagrant. I remember some of the old blocks "pre-everything aggressive is a flagrant" and now depending on the player it might be a flagrant.

    No, I don't want Dwight suspended in the playoffs. I'm just saying in general. Isn't it more fair to punish a guy in the playoffs for what he did in the playoffs?

    I did not think that was a flagrant.

    However, I do find Dwight's BBIQ with regard to frustration very hard to watch.

    Someone mentioned Bogut. Yes, Bogut plays dirty. Smart dirty. Extremely annoying as a fan of the opponent.

    Howard should play smart dirty. Not do his stupid things.

    He should appeal and fight this. Such BS.

    Everything is a flagrant these days, it's disgusting

    GTFO here with that BS. That was all Iguadola faking that reaction.

    Buncha of California Girls masquerading on the court as basketball players.
