Now would be a good time to harken back to our recently missing @Shaqdaddy11 who had this gem..




I don't think I could list 5 PGs better than him all time.

Your "recently missing" Shaqdaddy just had to bury her child so excuse me for not showing up to entertain a bunch of fucking idiots who can't take sarcasm.

Oh man that is awful I'm really sorry to hear that. I literally can't think of a worse thing to have to go through.

That's why i try my best not to criticize people when they go MIA. There is a real world outside of SportsHoopla where we all deal with real life issues and you never know what is going on. Condolences to @Shaqdaddy11 and her family

I think I'm gonna root for the Suns the rest of the way because of Monty Williams. The man deserves some happy celebrations

I dunno. That was a pretty big windup that Jokic took. Seemed to have some pretty clear intent. He could have broken Johnson's nose.

He hit the ball.

Definitely a flagrant 1.

Definitely intended to commit a frustration foul.

Definitely did not intend to hit Johnson in the face.

I think I can fully admit that wishing an ACL tear there is a bit extreme.

But you are an absolute fucking idiot if you think that wasnt intentional. Did you see if his face?!?!

Did you watch the replay?

Literally no chance he was trying to hit Johnson in the face.

So because the player we got hit the face, the assumption is that it was intentional?

I have been hit in the face many times playing basketball. I’ve had black eyes, a broken nose had a tooth knocked out and another occasion a tooth go through my lip.

Never once did I think any of the plays that caused those were intentional. Reckless perhaps, not intentional.

I don't think he was trying to hit Johnson in the face. But I don't think a flagrant 2 requires intent to hurt someone. It simply requires the ref to determine that the act was excessive. As they said at the time, the wind up was what made them deem it excessive.

As with most of these fouls, I could have seen them call it a flagrant 1. But a flagrant 2 was perfectly justifiably, given the standard.
