Most bullshit flagrant 2 I've seen in a long time. And to make it worse, the foul wasn't downgraded or rescinded. Instead they fine the guy. Unbelievable.

Wow I thought the consensus was this would be over turned. Was weak even for a flagrant one as he clearly went for the ball and blocked the ball before making contact. It was Blakes bitch ass flopping reaction that got it turned into a flagrant to begin with. Can they fine Blake for as well?

NBA's made superstar cant be fouled easily without punishment

is this would have been a noname player there wouldnt even be a foul call ingame ...

Wtf is wrong with you guys? Got ball? BS. He swung as hard as he could at a guy in the air. It's a dirty play and is plenty deserving of a F2

[gin17]

if you saw the game, the whole clippers team sold the flop, showing what an excellent flopping team they are as a whole.

they should all be fined

I think you need to get your eyes checked

Apparently you're not allowed to contest dunks in the modern NBA.

Lol awful. Actually comical.

Even Griffin said that it wasn't a Flagrant 2. Everyone thoughts so. Griffin was hit hard..O'Quinn's arm was winded up and dropped with lots of force. It was a play on the ball but he just came down on Griffin hard.

I believe I am in agreement here. It really seems like the NBA is on the verge of crossing over into "if you touch someone's head, you're automatically out" territory.

However, incidental contact to the head can happen. I saw Kirk Hinrich pick up a flagrant in the preseason for blocking Kyle Singler and scraping his head a little on the follow-through. The officials reviewed the play and upheld the call - pretty wild.
