Not blaming Allen for doing everything possible to help his team. Even embarrassing himself in the act.
Total little move. Dude is a got

at the ppl expecting a fine
this call was reviewed by 3 officials. No way the NBA touches that one
Screw a fine, suspension for 1 game.. let him watch his team in street clothes for such a cheaters mentality.
Tony Allen needs to be fined for that faking ass . Someone from the media also needs to grow some balls and ask him straight up, "Hey Tony Allen why did you grab your head if you didn't even hit your head?"
That's some riveting new information you have informed us of in the 14th post of this thread. Thanks for the insight.
Yo, head. I'm not in the mood for bull from some lightweight GNSF right now. When Allen was on the ground, he was holding the FRONT of his head. Then he got up, and he was holding the back.
Find me another post that noticed that.
Find me a single commentator on television who noticed that.
Until you do, put your head back in your ass and shut the up.
this guy really has a future career in showbiz:
Tony Allen flagrantly fouled Parker in game 1 and the league didn't say anything. There's no way they weigh in on this one. Worst call ever and you won't hear it mentioned. Also, nobody aside from Jeff McDonald is going to call tomorrow and ask about it.
There was a play earlier in the game where Manu swatted at the ball, and caught Allen in the face with a finger or two. The ref didn't see it. But Allen was crouched over, and the ref decided that if he was acting like that, there MUST have been a foul - so he blew his whistle. It was beyond a late whistle, where a ref realizes that he should have called something. It was a ref calling something he didn't even see. And when they replayed it, the ref that blew the whistle couldn't have seen it from his angle.
To me, that may be worse than the flagrant that everyone is so pissed about. You can't call something that you didn't ing see. That's the reason they have jump balls when they don't see who last touched the ball before it went out of bounds. (Except in the last two minutes, of course.) Because they can't call something they didn't see.
Manu caught Allen in the face, there's no doubt. But if the ref doesn't see it, he CAN'T make a call like that, just from seeing how a guy acts. That, to me, is totally inexcusable for an NBA ref. Bad enough that I wouldn't let him call any more games in the playoffs.
In any event, Allen is down 0-2.
Kind of reminded me of the Nash flop/embelishment that led to the suspensions of Amare and Diaw. I doubt if he gets fined. If anything he will be warned by the league.
Actually it was Conley. I think the ref saw the blood coming from his nose. It was a late-assed whistle though. The refs called Conley for his third foul and he literally made no contact with the Spurs shooter. That's probably as bad as the flagrant on Manu.
That flop made Vlade Divac proud.
You're right, it was Conley. And I don't question that there was a foul. But a ref just can't make a call that he doesn't see. Think about how many times you've see blood in the NBA, and there was never a whistle. I've seen play stopped for blood lots of times, and more often than not there was no foul called. Imagine if the refs just decided to call a foul, since there was blood.
I know you're not disagreeing, I'm just worked up about that play. I can live with the flagrant a lot easier, because that's a judgment call. But the other one was a ref just making up. He doesn't know... maybe Conley got hit a few seconds earlier by someone else. Maybe he picked his nose. Refs can only call what they see. Period.
Gasol intentionally tripped Tony twice tonight, and both times Tony went down hard. There's a reason why tripping is a 15 yard penalty in the NFL - it's because it's dangerous as , and the guy face-plants all too often. Doing it on hardwood is really, really nasty. The ref called Gasol for fouls both times, but there won't be any talk about flagrants. But that's three times in two games, and Tony will have the bruises to show for it.
I thought Allen's was done without thinking, but Gasol's were both very intentional.
This.
And that wasn't good acting. I told my wife as soon as he hit the ground he was faking. This is going to stick with him the rest of his life. He acted like he was going into seizures.
Can we get Serge Ibaka to punch him once for payback?
OMG That dude is bad
