Marcus checking out Wyc's ring LOL..

Wyc said “let’s get one.” Great moment.

[RJ87]

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.

Slippery slope. I could see guys taking advantage of that to stem momentum.

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.

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

"Flagrant foul. In basketball, a flagrant foul is a personal foul that involves excessive or violent contact that could injure the fouled player. A flagrant foul may be unintentional or purposeful; the latter type is also called an "intentional foul" in the NBA."

There doesn't have to be intent for a flagrant.

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

Again guys there needs to be some intent, not only was intent lacking but he made a play for the block meaning its not a flagrant. It was a foul tho, that the refs missed.

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.

They didn't stop the clock with Haywards bone sticking out of his leg so...

Hitting some threes.  He should have been able to score based on what he has done so it's nice to see.
