    Am I crazy, or was this going to be an offensive foul up until the time Meyers grabbed his shoulder? That elbow to the ribs looked like it might have hit a nerve...

    That was not a flagrant 2. Sorry. I don't think so.

    Well that was a dumb play by Leonard. No need to even foul. The game already won.

    It was a soft foul, but you can't grab somebody by the neck or head. Everybody knows it's.

    Is the shoulder okay? Because it looked to me like he had his arm on his shoulder and just pushed down.

    Flagrant 1? Yes.

    Flagrant 2 and ejection? No.

    It was an offensive foul. Marshall pushed off with is right arm before Leonard even touched him. I wonder if Leonard had just backed away if they would have called it that way.

    If bogus did that he wouldn't be ejected or even get a flagrant. We know this already.

    It was an offensive foul, but what Leonard did after caused them to turn it around. The kid needs to play smart and stop doing stupid shit like that, especially when the game was already won.

    If that is a flagrant 2 I need to find a new sport to watch. That and almost every TNT guy calling Dame Damon.

    The foul itself wasn't that bad. If they leave it as a flagrant 2, it will be because it was a retaliation foul in a game that was already decided.

    Props to Leonard! He should be praised for giving a Laker a hard foul!

    There's no way that meets the criteria of a Flagrant 2. Stupid move on his part, but good grief.

    No way. The ref was screened by Leonard's body from seeing the obvious push off. The ref already had his arm up calling the foul on Leonard before Leonard's hand came down on him. But the flagrant 2 was bullshit. The refs should have been able to see that from the replays. I hope the team is appealing it and getting it changed to a flagrant 1 at least.

    Meyers should have jumped on top of him after the play to establish dominance. Maybe lifted his leg and pissed on him to mark his territory. Now THAT is a flagrant 2!
