League fixed. Al Horford Flagrant 2. (kicked from game)

[PickernRoller]

Adam Silver still doing Stern's work.

Lebron gets a free pass to the Finals.

[Straight_Ballin]

Bron playing like shit so they have to bail him out. This guy really is a straight fvcking joke and it's a damn shame that this is happening to the Cleveland franchise who has a very nice team that only wants to play straight up basketball. Fvcking clown I swear.... :lol

[oh the horror]

The league didn't make him do what he did.



But an ejection seems ridiculous to me. This series is a joke all the way around.

[K Xerxes]

He swung an elbow with the intent to hurt. You don't throw elbows just to skim someone's head. The end result of him missing doesn't mean it's not an ejection. That's a dangerous play.

[#number6ix#]

Weak call by the refs but Horford knows better

Lol @ the people blaming lebron

[Kvnzhangyay]

Adam Silver still doing Stern's work.

Stern's work was to mind control Horford to drop an elbow? :biggums:

[ihoopallday]

:roll: :roll: :roll: How does the league fix a play like that. I'll try. Adam Silver to Delly: "If there's a loose ball, make sure you get tangled up with Al so he can throw an elbow at you. Then we can eject him!"

[Straight_Ballin]

The league didn't make him do what he did.

No way is this an ejection in the 90's.

Soft rules for a soft league.

Don't give us this shit dude :oldlol:


If he truly wanted that elbow to connect in a big way then it would have.

[oh the horror]

And this isn't some "fix". This is just some soft ass shit in a soft ass league.

Not sure if lebron hater or..... lebron hater with fake generic Lakers avy :durantunimpressed:

Well the more you think about it, the more I laugh being in your head.

[daily]

It'll be rescinded but it'll be too late. Bad call about to decide the outcome of a playoff game

[inclinerator]

then why are ppl still saying warriors will win? wont they want lebron to win?

[1~Gibson~1]

The league is fixed because Kelly Olly dislocated the arm of Kevin Love.... wait what? :coleman:

[jbryan1984]

He deserved ejection as much as JR in Boston and Taj last series. At least Smith made it look accidental believable by not even making eye contact. Rules are rules. Nothing new or special going on here so idk why anyone acting like that. The real bs is delly getting a tech for getting upset he was elbowed.

[Straight_Ballin]

Oh just wait till the finals actually happens. The # of questionable calls against GSW will be laughable.

[UK2K]

Video?

[Alamо]

Video?


You don't wanna see it man. That shit is graphic. Horford nearly took his head off. Not for the faint of heart



:lol :lol

[Real Men Wear Green]

I thought it should have been a flagrant 1 but the way they've been officiating the last few seasons it's not a shocking ejection. Unfortunately the league has gone overboard in the effort to make sure no one ever fights.

[Spurs m8]

I tell ya, Delladog is lucky Horford didn't smash him to a bloody pulp, dirty little rat falling into his leg like that, could have caused serious injury.

He's a fellow Aussie but I hate to say it, he's like a dirty, less talented Patty Mills.

[Trollsmasher]

Let's face it - if somebody did this to MJ, he would not only get thrown out of the game, but of the league as well

Horseshit. Go watch some piston/bulls playoff games....

Lol dude go YouTube "Pistons Jordan Rules".



They were mugging mike back then

[MellowYellow]

JR Smith just elbowed Bazemore and it's just a personal foul, lol rediculous.

[Foster5k]

Horford deserved the ejection. Dude thinking he's The Rock out there throwing people's elbows.

If JR Smith had done this, the league would be trying to suspend him for half of next season.

He did the same thing and got a personal foul.

Terrible call. Delly got another tech so clearly the ref saw his intentions there

[plowking]

So elbowing a guy, away from the ball, with the intention to hurt him is not a flag 2?

What is then? What has to happen for a flag 2? People always say this on every play. Apparently nothing is a flag 2.

[Straight_Ballin]

No, it just is what it is. Soft as hell to complement a soft generation of fans.

just be consistent, jr elbowd bazemore in the head and it was just a personal foul.

[ShawkFactory]

The stress from the Bron haters right now is soooo beautiful.

He's literally doing everything you guys have hated on him for not doing. It's so magnificent. After an awful 1st he thoroughly dominated the game. Dudes the best in the biz.

Cleveland may not beat GS but Bron gives no shits anymore, and there's no doubt in my mind that he's gonna go all out. Gotta respect that.

Not even any momentum by the time he connects. :oldlol:

[BigTicket]

Intentionally elbowing someone in the head is an automatic ejection, and it should be.

[El Gato Negro]

Not even any momentum by the time he connects. :oldlol: https://vine.co/v/eqxzYTD6BtH Watch again , you boy connects with dellys chin after pulling him down then tries to throw his arms up like he didn't do anything. Dirty pos, then grabs his knee like he is hurt, and after the game admitted it was intentional. If this isn't a one game suspension then the league is fixed. Look for dellys tech to be taken away as it was completely unwarranted. I mean look up the Fricken definition of a flagrant 2 or just watch the link.

[smoovegittar]

Who's really watching this crap anyways? GSW only reason worth tuning in. Absolute shit East teams; neither gets the crown.

[BigTicket]

A flagrant foul-penalty (2) is unnecessary and excessive contact committed by a player against an opponent. It is an unsportsmanlike act and the offender is ejected immediately

It's a simple rule, and Horford clearly violed it, so he got ejected.

The tech was for rolling into his legs.

Horford said no such thing, he took the high road.

[Optimus Prime]

Let's be real. As ridiculous of a call as it was, would it have made a difference? This garbage Hawks team was getting swept no matter what.

This is LeBeta's NBA. :facepalm

[jzek]

Let's be real - only very few ppl want to see the Hawks in the Finals. If it's fixed, good on the league for trying to provide a better endgame product.

sad but true. i'd prob only tune in to the second half of each game if it were the warriors vs the cawks.

[Alamо]

And Dwight gets a flagrant 1 for aiming straight for a dudes head



good game NBA :applause:

[Alamо]

Model of consistency

[ILLsmak]

Adam Silver still doing Stern's work.

Lebron gets a free pass to the Finals.

jokes aside you should know the league is fixed now that they have music videos with the players dancing before the games.

It's all about hype and entertainment not bball.

So you want rulings made on intent? How the heck does that even work?

If they upgrade the foul he's gone because he'll be at 4 FF points and 4 is an automatic one game suspension

[BigTicket]

Rulings are always made based on intent.

Going for the ball and accidentally hitting someone is very different from punching/elbowing them on purpose.

[Out_In_Utah]

Let's be real. As ridiculous of a call as it was, would it have made a difference? This garbage Hawks team was getting swept no matter what.

Horford could have helped the Hawks win in regulation.

[Out_In_Utah]

So you want rulings made on intent? How the heck does that even work?

You want ruling based on incidental contact that happens to hurt somebody?

The wind up is what they look for to determine intent.
