TheNameIsOrlando 310 Report post Posted March 17, 2011 Here we go, Marc. http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=15qahrb&s=7 Maybe I'm biased, but for me this is a flagrant. Looked like he made a play on the ball. Even though it was a hard foul id let that one slide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Optimist Prime 197 Report post Posted March 17, 2011 Looked like he made a play on the ball. Even though it was a hard foul id let that one slide. I think it depends on what he did with his left hand. But judging from the camera angles available, it wasn't a flagrant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berto 338 Report post Posted March 17, 2011 Apparently, this is a big deal. But the stuff the happens to Dwight...not so much. The NBA is outrageous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIyXBm8OPXk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The NBA is outrageous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIyXBm8OPXk Wow. Griffin retaliates with a full on charge towards Battie, and then shoved the ref. No tech, and is rewarded a flagrant. Pathetic. I also remembered another great Dwight "foul" moment. It was our home game against OKC. Collison raked him across the face, Dwight retaliated with a slight swing, and got a tech. OKC @ Orlando It's at 0:47. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~O~ 565 Report post Posted March 18, 2011 So Battie...was trying to hold him up and he retaliates....and..its called a flagrent because he was trying to save him..from dropping on the floor? Thats a regular foul. BULL****. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sabian Jackson 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2011 So Battie...was trying to hold him up and he retaliates....and..its called a flagrent because he was trying to save him..from dropping on the floor? Thats a regular foul. BULL****. Yeah, this what I saw. Fouled firstly by the guy who hit him on the head. Griffin starts to go down after Battie holds his arm, then Battie looks like he realises hes going to hit the floor hard, and tries to grab him so he doesn't. If anything, it should've been double techs. We all know Blake can do whatever he wants after this and the farce of the dunk "contest". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30Assists 342 Report post Posted March 18, 2011 Yeah - that would have been called a foul on Dwight, probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AcuWill 45 Report post Posted March 18, 2011 The worst is that somehow that fact that Blake gets fouled hard "all the time" makes his reaction "ok" or at least explainable to the commentators and the refs clearly acted that was too (since by all fairness, he should have been ejected for his reaction, if we go by the letter of the rules making contact with the ref.) But for Dwight, his swinging elbows to try to get people off his arms is unacceptable and result in tech after tech and foul after foul. The issue is here, the fact that players and plays get "pre-reffed" before they even happen. Perfect example, the foul on Dwight in Cav series on the three by Lebron a few years back.
