That should absolutely be a flagrant. It was a basketball play but you can’t just hammer a guy in the face because you’re aiming for the ball. Intent isn’t a requirement for a Flagrant 1 and being out of control and smacking someone with a full swing to the face is unquestionably excessive.

That one at least was consistent

but way too much ref ball in second half

Given how this forum tends to respond to blown Celtics lead I feel it’s important to call out that the Thunder have played awful hero ball the last several minutes and absolutely cheesedicked this away.

Every team does it. We just pay closer attention to ours.
