    Clearly a Flagrant 2. Bogut doesn't have any points so he won't get ejected but hard to understand how the refs missed reviewing this as a flagrant????

    I think they have to - considering what happened with Kevin Love last year and this is the very definition of a flagrant 2 - completely unnecessary, and extremely dangerous to cause injury.

    If they don't I think the league will take a lot of heat from many sources - not just in Houston. Their credibility is really on the line here.

    Yes, but people actually like Love. No one like Dwight.

    But look at how much press this is getting. It's all over twitter.

    Since when has the NBA been concerned with their credibility doe? I think Draymond got a Flagrant 1 for his BS at the end of the game...with no bearing on the next game of course.


    ...and yes, nobody likes Dwight so they'll probably just ignore it.

    No, the NBA will not do the right thing. They'll say Hardens game winner shouldn't have counted but will not review Bogut's b**** like play. They won't say anything until Dwight actually has his arm snapped. No doubt what Bogut did should have resulted in his exit, but the Harden winner that shouldn't have counted they say will linger in to game 4 resulting in continued lopsided calls. They'd be wise, however, to call it as they see it. Things will not go well for GS with a pissed off Rockets team. I think the Rox are in this, and if the **** continues Curry will likely reaggrevate his ankle injury and Thompson may get another knee to the head like last year. I don't want to see this happen but I know the team will make their fouls really hurt if GS is allowed to continue their dirtiness.

    I hope you're right... then again, I can't feel like we haven't been here before. We always hope the NBA does the right thing, but truth be told I've been let down too many times.

    i thought they already dismissed it as nothing more than a common foul?? I believe they're done reviewing the game.

    Their credibility isn't at stake . The league only faces a loss of face if the spotlight is being shown on this play . It isn't . The only people complaining about this are Houston fans . I haven't seen any media attention given to this play . All the talk today is about hardens foul , houstons bench not celebrating , when curry comes back . There hasn't been a peep on ESPN about this play .... And therefore the NBA isn't gonna do a damn thing. If no one brings it up , they aren't at risk for looking shady if they do nothing .

    This is something that Morey and Alexander and JB need to speak out about . This guy tried to hurt one of or players . He's dirty . I wonder if it's calculated that they haven't said anything about it yet . Maybe they will sooner to game time so GS has less time to game plan him being out ? Or maybe they want bogut in there becuase we play better against him hat their small ball lineup of death ? Or maybe they just haven't gotten to it yet . But on paper this guy should absolutely be suspended a game .

    NBA should protect it's players since they are the attraction. Bogut should be fined and maybe suspended.

    Some media coverage:

    http://www.foxsports.com/nba/story/...rd-andrew-bogut-daryl-morey-dirty-play-042216


    Did they? I didn't hear any kind of statement. I'm talking about the league office.

    They only review the last two minutes. They do need to watch Bogut tho. He gets away with so much bull****

    I see those pieces , but one is an article on sb nation with only 14 comments . I haven't heard **** on ESPN , maybe there has been some . I just done think there is enough coverage for the NBA to sweat it .

    Bogut would be an excellent villain choice to play in a Wolf Creek sequel. Big dirty mofo that loves to hurt people.

    Your arm isn't supposed to be bent that way, he could have injured Howards arm. I'm more understanding why he threw the ball, if someone hurts your arm like that you would want to punch them in the face.

    bogut was just trying to get a dangerous basketball thrower out of the game. perhaps a new award could be created for his heroism? one that steph curry would still win.
