Of course it was intentional. But not for some conspiratorial reason.

It was because he wanted to prevent an easy basket, like you said. Not because he was instructed to do anything by Rose.

A foul below the waist - how can that be flagrant? Karnowski just flopped becaus

1 - It wasn't below the waist. It was on his arm. 2 - "above the waist" is

Oh good grief, that's not what I said. The foul didn't occur below his waist

Sorry. Didn't see the joke. I get so used to people on here saying really

Why can't a foul below the waist be flagrant? He made no play on the ball.

The crotch is below the waist, and a knee to the crotch is a flagrant foul.

What if ball contact occurred first?

you're going to have to be more specific.

jdub

Excessive contact doesn't have to be above the waist #1. #2 there was no

25 years ago it wasn't a flagrant but now that gets called 9 times out 10

Even 25 years ago you had to pretend to be going after the ball.

He didn't make a play on the ball. That's the definition of a flagrant foul.

Flagrant 1 is the same as the old "intentional foul." Mika's foul clearly qualifies.

roseyscenario

2/27/17 9:25pm

Yes, it was obviously intentional and done on purpose

PortlandCoug

2/27/17 9:37pm

Corbin made the giant look slow; Mika made him look petrified. In

mantis mutu

2/28/17 12:57am

Yes, and Mika was instructed to do it so that K. didn't get going again

PortlandCoug

2/27/17 9:30pm

Proof that he was instructed to do it?

benny1982

2/27/17 9:32pm

Just watch the reaction, it's obvious

PortlandCoug

2/27/17 9:36pm

Ha ha. No.

benny1982

2/27/17 9:37pm

You can disagree all you want but it was intentional and did not

PortlandCoug

2/27/17 9:41pm

Of course it was intentional. But not for some conspiratorial reason.

benny1982

2/27/17 9:43pm

Coaches tell players all the time to foul, have you not watched the NBA?

PortlandCoug

2/27/17 9:46pm

Wrong. Mika got beat on the play and he was tired of getting hooked all night

TheLoneCougar

2/28/17 9:08am

You mean this reaction?

dilbert

2/27/17 9:43pm

I thought it was a reaction to getting hit with Karnowski's shoulder one more

dilbert

2/27/17 9:37pm

Yeah, Karnowski was using his shoulder and elbow up in Mika's shoulder

benny1982

2/27/17 9:39pm

Since it was so obviously done on purpose it looked very premeditated

PortlandCoug

2/27/17 9:44pm

Oh, ok. Now I understand what you are saying.

dilbert

2/27/17 9:47pm

The way you say it is very different from how he seems to be saying it.

benny1982

2/27/17 9:50pm

I never said Rose told him to intentionally foul anyone

PortlandCoug

2/27/17 9:52pm

You weren't really all that clear in your meaning, so it was pretty easy

benny1982

2/27/17 9:53pm

Fair enough

PortlandCoug

2/27/17 9:55pm

Yeah, it wasn't a sweep the leg moment, just foul him so he doesn't

PortlandCoug

2/27/17 9:50pm

If you had said it that way to begin with, I would have never disagreed.

benny1982

2/27/17 9:52pm

Yes, that's all I was saying

PortlandCoug

2/27/17 9:53pm

I think this is a half truth. I think the coaches told him he had no fouls, so

QBarrister

Flagrant but not dirty. It was a good play, and correctly officiated.

CalGTR

2/27/17 10:51pm

Exactly. It was textbook flagrant, but with no intent to harm (or really any

Mika told me on Sunday that because he pulled him down with 2 hands instead
