Leonard's Flagrant 2

[BlazerWookee]

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.

 

[BigGameDamian]

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

 

[THE HCP]

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

The game was already over.

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

I wonder if that happen to Lillard by Bogut how posters would feel.

It would be a call to arms!

Flagrant 1? Yes.

Flagrant 2 and ejection? No.

 

[Reep]

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.

 

[magnifier661]

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.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

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

 

[oldmangrouch]

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.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Unsurprisingly stupid play by Mrs. MLKG

MLKG? Martin Luther King Gunior?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

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

 

[BlazerBeav]

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.

 

[Natebishop3]

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!

Exactly. TNT showed the definition of a flagrant 2 after the play, and that wasn't one.

Should have turned to the ref, punched him. Then took his shirt off and performed a justin bieber song while flipping off the whole shit l*ker crowd.

As for the lillard question bogut would have got a regular foul and when matthews or mo came over just to say hey not cool man he'd probably punch one of them and get a tech while they both got ejected. Then theyd eject dame for causing the problem by being fouled.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Further more this just proves l*kers are whiney bitches. If it were me getting fouled like that I would have told him nice foul and told the refs to quit being pansies.

Actually, it really didn't look like the Lakers were that upset about it. The refs went rushing in with their whistles blowing but none of the players looked like they were going to throw down. I think the whole thing was just blown out of proportion.

This first l*ker that ran in was about to throw down but he got lost in biebs flowing hair and innocent stare. Refs were putting on a show for the crowd, nards keeping his composure was a good troll on what they were trying to manufacture

 

[RoyToy]

Refs made the right call

And once again Leonard proves he's a fucking dipshit. God I hate him.

Sounds like a nice, unbiased opinion on the officiating. Maybe you should see if the NBA is hiring.

 

[BigGameDamian]

The NBA has gotten soft but the bottom line is that it was a dumb play by Leonard! The game was already over.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Personally I think it was the right call by the refs. It could have gone either way but good time to teach the kid a lesson and exercise your referee discretion: don't go pulling a player down by the shoulders when they are shooting, players get hurt that way. Doing it when it was garbage time probably pushed the refs discretion into a flagrant 2 (wrong time to do something close to that and a flagrant 2 on Leonard isn't going to change the results of the game)




Can't the NBA change the call if they want to?

 

[PapaG]

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

So he should have just let Marshall push off of him and get an easy score? I like that Leonard reacted and showed he isn't going to be pushed around, even late during a blow-out win. Why the fuck was Marshall even still in the game? Same with Nick Young.

Leonard didn't throw down Marshall. Marshall flopped his way into that foul when Meyers put his arm on Marshall.

Also, what's up with this board when a Blazer is getting shit for being physical with a LAKER???

FFS, some of you are just the worst fucking fans, willing to shit on a Blazer you dislike even after a nice road win against the Lakers.
