Not a Flagrant. He went for the Ball.

You can make a play on the ball and still commit a flagrant foul

The League Office will consider the following factors (as well as any other relevant facts and circumstances) in determining whether to classify a foul as Flagrant "1" or Flagrant "2", to reclassify a flagrant foul, or to impose a fine and/or suspension on the player involved:
1. The severity of the contact;
2. Whether or not the player was making a legitimate basketball play (e.g., whether a player is making a legitimate effort to block a shot; note, however, that a foul committed during a block attempt can still be considered flagrant if other criteria are present such as recklessness and hard contact to the head);
3. Whether, on a foul committed with a player's arm or hand, the fouling player wound up and/or followed through after making contact;
4. The potential for injury resulting from contact (e.g., a blow to the head and a foul committed while a player is in a vulnerable position);
5. The severity of any injury suffered by the offended player; and
6. The outcome of the contact (e.g., whether it led to an altercation).
NOTE: Each team will continue to be held responsible for the actions of its players on the court. Accordingly, if any individual player or team (collectively) commits, in the judgment of the League Office, an excessive number of flagrant fouls during the Playoffs, the player and/or that team's Head Coach will be subject to appropriate fines and/or suspensions.

wildcats20;1168254 wrote:Yeah, I didn't watch the 2nd half. Only saw the video of it. I agree. If someone does that to a superstar, they are immediately gone and probably suspended for the next game. It was a terrible decision by Kobe.

And lol at someone saying Kobe wasn't sick. You don't get IV's before and at half time when you are healthy. And Kobe whining and not stepping up? Um, where did Kobe NOT step up last night. He was about the only one in purple who even tried.

Kobe was 13/23. The other Laker starters were a combined 13/39. So again, who didn't step up?

Hb31187;1168261 wrote:Yeah I fully agree, but the NBA wont pull that trigger and have a superstar potentially sit out a game 7. it is what it is, I'm just glad that Faried isnt injured for game 7.

I agree he was sick, I just was sick of hearing the announcers make a note of it every 10 seconds. But yeah you dont get iv's willingly unless you really are in need and sick as a dog.

Apparently everyone but Skyhook agrees that it was a horrible decision by Kobe and a clear flagrant. Retard

So how many games did Wade get again? What is the difference in the 2 fouls? Wade made no play for the ball and gave another player a broken nose and a concussion after hitting a player in the head.
