So much for consistency... This league is such bs...

Pathetic as that was far worse than what Horford did. Anything to give the Cavs an advantage though. And should the Cavs and the Warriors meet in the finals, watch how they try to screw the Warriors.

Seems Dwight has a more promising acting career than Horford... Smooth criminal.

 

Horford's foul was blatantly obvious, although it shouldn't have been a flagrant 2.  Dwight played it off as they were tangled up and it was an accident. Horford should have put a hip into Dova instead of an elbow...

[RandomFan]

Yep, figured somebody would have already brought this up. Even the announcers talked about it and both said Horford's shouldn't have led to an ejection.

Oh wow.

The only difference between that and the JR Smith hit on Crowder, is that Bogut didn't go to.the ground.

I've just now started watching this game

I see Curry got hurt for a while.

And interesting point they just made about Dwight. Had they given him a Flagrant 2, that would be his 4th of the playoffs, prompting a 1 game suspension for Howard the next game.

Obviously they were aware of that, and protected Dwight for next game.

Just sad. And the entire NBA fan base knows it.

Sadly, this is one of the big reasons why superstars win titles over "teams."

Not fair, not fair at all.

If you read the NBA discussion on elbows to head, there is NO wiggle room. It is a flagrant 2

Fixed.

Oh you mean like JR Smith elbowing Bazemore in the face in the quarter after Al's ejection?  But ... there was no flagrant/ejection on that play.

 

That's odd.  You understand that, Gary?

The Howard play was much worse.  Horford barley connected while Howard caught Bogut square in the jaw.

Howard should be suspended just like JR Smith was.  The plays are identical other than the fact that Bogut doesn't have a glass jaw like Crowder.

Man, what's with all these Aussie's getting involved in scraps with other players?  Get it together mates!

You can't blame Bogut on that one!

No definitely not his fault but why was he holding down Dwight's arm?  Not necessary.  Kind of like the Dellavedova incident with Taj Gibson.  He didn't do anything major but he was doing just enough to get a player to bite and it worked.

 

Dwight should've kept his cool though, terrible reaction by him.
