    What an awful call. That's not even a flagrant fall.

    WTF?

    It took several minutes to determine Fish's foul was flagrant and they come up with this bs that quick.

    Kobe gets flagrant 1 for elbowing upward.

    This just proves my statement: If Ron Artest threw the elbow, he'd be suspended.

    If that was Kobe it would have been an offensive foul.

    Wasn't even a flagrant. They only gave him a flagrant because he's Ron Artest. Ron didn't even do it on purpose. He was going for the ball.

    This league is so damn soft. :mad:

    Artest has now been thrown out of two games unfairly. Still paying the price for something that happened years ago that he paid for at the time. These refs should be banned for life if they can't see that was no flagrant

    If he's suspended the series is over.

    Wow. Two games in a row Ron Ron gets ejected on bad calls.

    I was expecting the officials to hand it to us in gift wrap, like they had in Los Angeles.

    Bull****.

    This is BS, that is just a hard foul like the vujabitch give wafer. Ron was going for the ball just like rondo. I am tire of see these inconsistive refs.

    I have never been more ashamed to be an NBA fan than I am now. If the league doesn't rescind this afterward, I don't think I want to continue to supporting their product.

    He was obviously going for the ball. It was a hard foul, but not even remotely close to a flagrant foul. Hopefully Stu Jackson will make the right call.
