    Both fouls by Foster seemed like good hard fouls. The NBA upgrading them to flagrant 1's just shows how they dont' really want us to play playoff basketball at the moment. I'm used to seeing people having to get really hammered in the playoffs to get fouls and it seems like this season its all about protecting the stars.

    That's ridiculous. Foster is being penalized for being slow and for having his hands up. It's even more ridiculous when you consider Rose's comment:
    Rose says right there that he was intending to get fouled, but then he got all chippy when it happened. I hope the Pacers respond by simply doing more of the same.
