Yeah, no one thinks it was a flagrant.
But it looks stupid when you are complaining about someones reputation causing a bad call when you are a fan of the Lakers, Heat, Dallas, Bulls, Knicks, etc.

The crowd went crazy and the Thunder went crazy. That is why it was a flagrant.

Can you get us the definition please... Also had this been harden on the flip side, you'd have been saying the exact opposite.
Now seriously, you should get to bed. Long morning ahead for you. Go read your daily bread and go to sleep

Maybe, maybe not. Stephan Jackson has been boned a lot from his rep. Rasheed always got T'd up for nothing.wildcats20;1178321 wrote:I guaran-fucking-tee you that if any other player who is considered a "thug" made that play, it wouldn't have been a flagrant.
Also doesnt help that Artest hit Harden, who is on OKC.

That is the definition of a flagrant 1.Section IV--Flagrant Foul
a. If contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted to be unnecessary, a flagrant foul--penalty (1) will be assessed.

I argued this last weekMidstate01;1178319 wrote:It's a pointless argument. We are arguing about nba refs. Who we all know are told to protect stars. So nobody complains when their star gets a call, but goes crazy when they don't. Because they should, based on reputation. Well if that's the way it works then guys like artest, Steven Jackson and others will have the same things happen to them based on rep.
