How is that not a flagrant?

Seriously. We are gonna call that a flagrant?

Contact with a man's head while he's in the air? Yeah, I'd call that a flagrant.

[Snakehead]

What a botching by the refs on that whole exchange.  I don't want to hear any BS either, protect the players!

The Knicks are shooting a foul shot? ****?

Foul occurred away from the ball at end of quarter. New rules mean the Knicks shoot a foul shot.

Amen!

How do we feel about the Knicks playing on with Morris on the ground??

Given calls I've seen as flagrants this year, including yes anything to the head basically, it should have been.

There has to be intent. There was none. Its not a flagrant.

The refs followed the rules, but the rules need to change.

In soccer if a guy is injured on the other team, you kick the ball out of bounds. When the player gets off the field and play resumes, the other team gives you the ball back.

Basketball should have a courtesy like that if the refs aren't gonna do something.

[jpotter33]

That's pretty crappy. It's the right call, but they have to make some sort of provision for injury cases like that. The ref should be able to stop the clock on those possessions.

What about the foul committed on Morris before that foul?

[esel1000]

Knee blown out or tailbone


Season over?

He could miss a few games but I doubt that’s season ending. It looks like he bruised his hip.

How do we feel about the Knicks playing on with Morris on the ground??

Apart of the game. C's did the same thing when Plumlee was hurt. Just too way too long for the play to stop.

They missed it.

[Neurotic Guy]

Knee blown out or tailbone


Season over?

Are you watching?

Neither.

Not a knee or tailbone.  I think it's a bad bruise, maybe a fracture of some sort?

Pretty sure we did it against the nuggets.
