Usually lol. So what about the times he doesn't? Ok... so call it 1-2 uncalled flagrants/game instead. To me it looks like he's always landing "awkwardly".
Another thing.. Allen does manage to get one foot down before landing. Watch the replay.
Manu did the right thing. Turn the ball over in the backcourt. Yes that was the right thing to do.

And your opinion means so much to me.
When he lands like Allen did? Doesn't really happen that often.No.Ok... so call it 1-2 uncalled flagrants/game instead.And your opinion means so much to me.To me it looks like he's always landing "awkwardly".
I did. Doesn't matter.Another thing.. Allen does manage to get one foot down before landing. Watch the replay.
Go a porcupine.
morning fellas.... feels good to be up 2-0
Dude ...Parker lands like that almost every other drive to the basket where he gets fouled. Try watching a spurs game sometime. Might be enlightening for you.
No.Sorry, you can't try to play that card. You spouted off way too often after not watching games.Try watching a spurs game sometime. Might be enlightening for you.
As much as it pains me to do so . . . I agree. Perfectly stated.
Okay fine. You can believe whatever you wish. If you want to believe Parker has never landed on his forearm or hip that's your prerogative. If you want to pretend Allen didn't get a foot down to break his fall again... that's your prerogative. If it makes you feel all giddy inside to imagine Allen paralyzed and in a wheelchair behind the grizzly bench for the rest of the series Go for it I won't stop you.
Straw man.I acknowledged he got a foot down -- it simply didn't matter.If you want to pretend Allen didn't get a foot down to break his fall again... that's your prerogative.Wut?If it makes you feel all giddy inside to imagine Allen paralyzed and in a wheelchair behind the grizzly bench for the rest of the series Go for it I won't stop you.
CD being a he is
Nothing new
Well, if you want to make it about me, I guess you can try.
I don't think the flagrant gets rescinded. Could be wrong.
It was your dumbassed assertion that upended players provide the most bearing on whether a flagrant is called. And the ignoring the fact that a simple reference to the point guard who plays for the team you supposedly watch refutes this idiotic statement.
More than perceived intent, definitely.Parker rarely falls that way. You're exaggerating.And the ignoring the fact that a simple reference to the point guard who plays for the team you supposedly watch refutes this idiotic statement.
The foul that was called last night is almost always considered flagrant 1. That's all. No need to lose your about it.
I disagree. I've seen far worse fouls not get tagged flagrant. Especially in the 4th quarter of the WCF. Flagrant would have been Manu yanking his arm down forcefully instead or slapping /hitting his arm. He clearly just grabs hold of Allen's wrist and prevents him from going up for the layup. It was not a flagrant, nor even close to a flagrant. Just a good clean playoff foul.
Except it was flagrant. Excessive contact is all that's required and the grab you so helpfully described fit the bill. Of course there is judgment involved, but there have clearly been enough similar flagrant calls in the history of that penalty to conclude this one could easily be called flagrant.
And being called out as usual.
By the usual people who have to rely on ad hominems.
And being called out as usual.
I don't really care about the foul, that was on the refs and Allen's acting. It was that terrible turnover before that everyone should be mad about. Ginobili just being Ginobili, turning over the ball and throwing away possessions during crunch time.
Sorry that doesn't fit "the bill". I guess that is where we differ. I'd like to know what you think Manu could have done to prevent the layup and still avoid being "in excess" of the allowed amount of contact. Because I sure can't think of anything less he could have done.
If Manu hadn't been called for a flagrant and Allen misses his free throws, people here would be celebrating the play. Manu did what all players are taught to do in situations like that...don't give up an easy lay up...make them earn it from the FT line.
What he could have done makes no difference. Only what he did matters, and what he did easily qualifies as a flagrant foul.
Ahh but it does matter. Officials judge a flagrant just as much (if not moreso) on intent as one poster above that you poo-poo'd so cleverly opined.
No, referees do not make calls on alternate realities.
