OH please. That's Davis holding him up and Zaza flailing like a crazy person. That's not a flagrant.

I have to admit that's a flagrant by definition. Davis didn't go for the ball, just wanted to stop his man from shooting, but you have to go for the ball.

That's not the definition of a flagrant.  It's excessive force without a play for the ball.  Davis didn't use excessive force.  Guys wrap people up all the time.  It;s called an intentional foul.

  • It's not hard to work hard.
Even if that is *technically* a flagrant, the fact is they would never have called it without Zaza spazzing out. The refs encourage flopping with this nonsense.
McHale's favorite ruse is putting paper in the mouths of sleeping teammates. "Try using one of these cocktail napkins," he said. "When just the edge sticks out of a guy's mouth, it looks like he's got fangs. The best part is when he wakes up."

If that foul were committed against a Boston player, we'd be screaming for a flagrant.

a. If contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted to be unnecessary, a flagrant foul--penalty (1) will be assessed. A personal foul is charged to the offender and a team foul is charged to the team.

You can wrap up without it being a flagrant.

Also I don't think that *was* technically a flagrant. I think it was the refs rewarding drama.

the way they call it consistently for the last few years is if the guy goes for the ball or not. Excessive force makes it a flagrant 2.
