Take solace in that tomorrow, you (well not you, but Portlanders) wake up in Portland, and not in the shit hole that is OKC.
LA is a joke.... but what can they do? Gasol doesn't have much value and it's not like they're going to deal Kobe.
Did I miss it? Anyone mention police in OKC have taken two people into custody for shooting at a group of people after the game? Reports are fuzzy but apparently some men started shooting at a group of women. Seven people were taken to the hospital and a pregnant woman roughed up. Damn, and we hear nasty stuff about Oakland - can't remember any shooting after Oakland sports victories. Here is a NY Times link, a later report said there were arrests.

NBA looked at the flagrant fouls and suspended two players: Pittman: 3 games Haslem: 1 game Hansbrough flagrant-1 was upgraded to a flagrant-2 but was not suspended.
That Pittman foul was a Bynum-esqe bitch level move. [video=youtube;ngQkcfITJcs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngQkcfITJcs[/video]

Flagrant fouls are for unnecessary and/or excessive contact, nowhere does a rule book say "a flagrant foul is issued on non basketball plays" and if you even watch the NBA you know that's not true. You don't even know what you're talking about. Shut up.
Flagrant fouls are for unnecessary and/or excessive contact, aka non basketball play Listen and learn dipshit
You are adding your own interpretation to the rule. Non basketball play and unnecessary and/or excessive contact can mean very different things. Saying AKA and then giving your opinion doesn't make it fact Also, you should probably calm down before you have a heart attack (aka non basketball play)
Non basketball play has been associated with flagrant fouls for some time now. Perhaps you're just new to the sport. You'll learn.
