Why Dwight missed that dunk and Cousins was properly ejected

Lucky call for us. Totally changed the game.

 

Hard to tell if he intentionally aimed for the groin. He did put out his arm and should be a foul.

 

I know what you're talking about, but disagree that's what happened in this case. He wasn't trying to contest the shot, and he was out of the way enough to where he could have just kept his arms down.

He was going for a nut tap and missed high, then immediately tried to play it off.

Dude has a lot of incidents with testicles and cheap shots in general. I don't think it's all coincidence.

 

Yeah man, sucks for SAC. It's one thing to have a "chip on your shoulder," but it seems like he's the type that's constantly sees himself as a victim. Some people never get over that. Might take some serious humbling.

 

Lots of players mellow over time, let's hope he does it too...I mean Barkley tried to spit on a fan and hit a little girl with it.

Agreed. Don't see how he intentionally went for the groin. You can't just assume that based on 'historical data'. A foul nonetheless

 

What the hell does intention have to do with it? Fouls can be unintentional. They are still fouls. Stretching your arm out and touching a player who's in the air taking a shot is a foul.

I'm more furious about the knee bump which looks very much like it was intentional.

 

Nothing to see here with respect to Cousins, but this on the other hand:

I don't see the problem here, other than Cousins' overreaction....

This happens pretty often. A lot of guys do this, not just Cousins. The area just wasn't crowded enough for him to get away with it. It was a foul though, but players are always putting out their forearms like that to defend, so i don't think it's something Cousins was doing out of the ordinary. He probably didn't think it was a foul because he didnt' extend his arm and push him, which is usually what refs look for, and also tends to happen on alley oops.
