    My bad about intent. I just re-read the rule.

    That being said, the dude is an eclipse. A windup coming from Patty Mills doesn't get that call.

    Flagrant 1 is fine and makes the point. Flagrant 2 is excessive and decides the game (and in this case, series).

    Dame has committed flagrant fouls in the past. Is every player who slaps at the ball and makes inadvertent contact an idiot? Okay, then.

    What you're asking for from the refs is nuance. But they went by the letter of the law. Unnessary and excessive.

    And dirty.

    Denver wasnt winning this game either way.

    I'm rooting hard for Phoenix in this series, but there is no way as an official you make that kind of call in that situation.

    I was really surprised they called a flagrant 2 on Jokic, but by rule, it fit every aspect of a flagrant...windup --> swing --> contact --> follow thru. I thought the officials were taking so long to make the ruling they were figuring out how to not call flagrant 1. But wow...ejection

    Open hand coming down on the ball. By definition, a slap.

    We're talking about Dame. Not CJ. Dame would not take out his frustrations against a scrub bench player 8 inches shorter than him just cuz he didnt get a call.

    Also fyi. Dame has not committed a single flagrant foul in his career

    If the Nugs come back and win this means the Nugs should trade Jokic.

    By everyone's definitiion of what constitutes a Flagrant 2, Zach Collins and Hassan Whiteside should never have finished a game.

    Really? I recall Dame two seasons ago wrapping a guy up on a dunk attempt and getting a Flagrant 1.

    Don't change the debate because you're losing. If that call in that situation would have been made against Dame, you would be f***ing HOWLING.

    Not sure I'm the one in the wrong. You're the one getting facts wrong.

    Jokic has played in every playoff game the Nugs have lost the year. Clearly he's the problem.

    We should sign and trade Collins for the Joker.

    So, if Dame committed that foul, you would agree he should be tossed in that game? You would be defending the refs? Mkay.

    You're lying.

    I've seen you post for years. You would be screaming.
