Care to elaborate? Was it an NFL-type tackle or just a shove while Griffin was running away?

It wasnt that bad imo..
The reason why it looked so bad was cuz Griffin leaned back when Devin tried to wrap him up and he ended up taking a nasty fall.
And Devin was playing great too.... fcuk

My heart skipped several beats when Griffin didn't get up right away.
Don't think it was on purpose or anything, but it was just plain stupid. Harris doesn't seem like the smartest guy.
Harris is back to his dirty ways now that he is playing for Avery again.

Just saw the play on the highlights. Clearly Harris didn't grab him with the intention of taking him down. He knew he was wrong as soon as he made contact. He just wanted to avoid giving up the easy basket. I don't see how that's a flagrant 2 and an ejection.

The intent of the foul doesn't factor into whether or not it's a flagrant 2. The intent probably has more to do with whether or not he'll get a suspension, which he probably shouldn't.
Saw the replay. I lol'd the fact that he got a flagrant 2 and a possible suspension.

It was a high percentage foul. A great foul for Harris to take, to avoid giving Griffin the easy jam. Griffin then had to earn his points with the free throw's. That's just hard, physical, fundamental defense.
I'm tired of this soft ass league with fans tripping on every minor foul. The Euro's have came in and completely b*tched the NBA out. It's about time Devin Harris started manning people up. These wannabe Vlade Divac's better start getting used to this sh*t, or take that soft sh*t back to Europe. Real talk.

That play was dirty. He made no attempt at the ball and pulled Griffin down by the shoulders from behind. You can easily blow a guys knee out with a foul like that (which is why it's even illegal in the NFL).

Honestly, yeah it was hard and a little reckless by any standards, but Detroit, New York and several other teams used to pull that same shit any time you drove to the rim in the 80's/90's and you just took your foul shots. Just shows how the game's changed.

If you pulled that on me or any of my friends on any recreational court except maybe a prison yard (which I don't plan on occupying) I wouldn't hesitate one millisecond to come at you and throw down.
This has actually happened once, and almost a few other times but smarter people than myself kept the situation from escalating. Some people are just tools...
There is no reason to be that aggressive/risky in a b.s. pickup game. NBA playoffs I understand a little more, but my gut-reaction to that kind of thing happening to me probably demonstrates your point perfectly.

For an NBA game yes. I don't think he should really miss any games but ejection was fair enough. These guys and there teams rely on health. If you don't fine, eject etc. for things like this then it wouldn't stop other guy's from doing it. Fouling in a fastbreak situation like that for NBA guys isn't a smart idea IMO. That current foul wasn't THAT bad but if you let Harris get away with it than other players won't hesitate as much.
As for your E-threat it's not that bad. Anybody who has played lots of playground ball has probably took a hard foul on a break like that at some point. Of course our jobs aren't to play basketball and our most likely not the same as B.Griff\Devin Harris.

Yes.
you just took your foul shots. Just shows how the game's changed.
It does prove my point exactly. That would piss you off, because no one should be taken down that hard, especially from the top down. He could have grabbed Blake, without pulling him down like that. Dangerous play. Professionals or not.
smart time to foul, bad time to try to rip the guy's head off.

See...this guy is taking it out of context now. Devin Harris wasn't trying to set a physical tone. In fact he had no idea that he was going to bring griffin down that hard. This is what happened.
A clippers player lobbed the ball through the air to griffin who was running down court like a wide reciever. Harris, the safety, saw the ball in the air at the last second as it was going to griffin and was unable to make a play on the ball. So, in a last desperate attempt to save a easy basket, he grabbed griffin without looking first and instead of wrapping his arms up he grabbed too high and got him by the shoulders/neck area, at which point griffin slipped back and fell awkwardly. The point? It was totally non intentional. Harris didn't see him breaking away and run at him and purposely take him down. It was an accidental freak occurance. Set a physical tone? You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. And don't even try to reference avery's no layup rule because that was really aimed at our big men in general.

That's exactly how it looked to me too. I thought it was clear from Devon's reaction that it wasn't intentional and he realized what he did right afterwards. Still, that's a really dangerous play, intentional or not, so I think the Flagrant 2 and ejection are fair. I don't think he should be suspended though.

He was about to spring, which means he was in a plyometric motion where much of his body is under stress trying to explode in a LINEAR direction. Changing that direction like that can cause serious, tearing injury. I'd much rather have him get fouled while in the air.

A fastbreak dunk is disrespectful now? Harris made the foul to prevent the basket, not because he felt like he was being disrespected or something..
Whew i'm glad someone said it. I can't possibly see how its disrespectful to make sure you get the 2 points. We all know Harris got mad at his mistake and he made sure that Griffin didn't score.
He probably didn't want to throw him that hard but the tape makes it look a lot worse.
I was just watching Around The Horn and they were discussing the Harris foul on Griffin. Woody Paige said that he should be suspended atleast 3 games, while Tim Cowlishaw said a 1 game suspension should be assessed. Cowlishaw also said it reminded him of the Kevin McHale on Kurt Rambis foul which just seems ridiculous to me. People are really overreacting to this.

He got ejected. shit... suspension is not necessary. he learned from his ejection. no need for a suspension.

He's getting a game. Do i disagree with you? No. But recent history suggests a game. Plus it's bad timing to be the first person to do something like this in a season, give Der Furher an example to be made.

Just re-read the flagrant 1/2 rules. I thought for a flagrant two there had to be some sort of 'malicious intent' to merit that. So I take it back. It definitely looked bad, but with the way people were talking in here, I was expecting him to have gone with menace and trying to hurt Griffin.
Flagrant 2? Yes. Suspension? Not IMO.

[QUOTE]The league office has decided not to suspend Devin Harris for his flagrant foul against Blake Griffin Monday night in Los Angeles. The NBA reviews every "flagrant 2" foul to determine if further action --a fine or suspension-- is required and the Nets were informed Monday there will be no such action against Harris, who was ejected.

You are both f*cking retarded. :facepalm
He was about to spring, which means he was in a plyometric motion where much of his body is under stress trying to explode in a LINEAR direction. Changing that direction like that can cause serious, tearing injury. I'd much rather have him get fouled while in the air.
No suspension. Who's the f*cking retard now? :facepalm

:cheers:
Seems reasonable to me. It was a very hard foul and dangerous play, but after watching it seems pretty clear that he had no malicious intent and was just trying to wrap him up and stop the bucket. He still has to be held responsible regardless of intent, so flagrant 2 and no suspension seems fair to me. :confusedshrug:
I like physical play, but I don't want to see someone, especially an exciting player like Blake Griffin injured on something like that. That play had some serious potential for injury, it wasn't just a hard foul.

Nothing dirty about the foul itself, he just shouldn't have tried to wrap-up a guy already in the air, you do that on someone who is still on the ground before they take off...he should've just tried to slap his arm or something

:facepalm Do you not understand context?
Stackhouse ran up the court the whole time looking at shaq and then tackled him all while being frustrated that his team was getting dominated. It was an intentional, flagrant foul made in frustration.
Harris' foul was done without harris even turning around to look at him. He grabbed him without looking and it ended a lot worse then he thought it would(a simple wrap up).
You seriously can not comprehend that simple, yet important difference?
