he shouldn't let him have an easy bucket. Or maybe they even told him that since he had no fouls to play him really tough, get into his head, etc. I doubt they told him to intentionally foul him or to sweep the leg.

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

benny1982

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

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
