Joe Ingles vs. Russel Westbrook flagrant

[hgb]

The "foul" on Poetl was an excuse to not eject a key player for the Lakers. Watch it from different angles. Poetl literally just shuffles his feet in a circle. He didn't even step in front of Westbrick at all. Westbrick actually pushed his way around Poetl. It's a huge joke.

I'm not saying Poeltl should've been called for an illegal screen, didn't really watch, but even if it was a bad call, I expect you can't give a flagrant when they first decided that it _was_ an offensive foul. If they can, I think it should've been either F1 or F2, for sure.

Lakers got some amazing calls end of the thunder game last night… and still lost. 1 BS call was overturned but it was followed by a second BS call that should have been a turnover and instead they got FTs. There was also a very quick 8 second call. Anyway… it’s nice to be the Lakers.

I also remember Royce being tagged for a flagrant last year for swinging really hard but honestly only hitting the ball on Booker... Booker acted like a baby so it was called a flagrant. NBA officials struggle with consistency and not reacting to stuff that shouldn't matter. At least they are trying hard to get rid of the foul seeking behavior and giving more defenders the benefit of the doubt on verticality.

I cant remember if it was Royce or Bogey last year, but someone got called for some ridiculous F1 late in the season, possibly playoffs, for a minor lowering of teh shoulder at halfcourt.

Another great play by Lebron and the refs.

Yeah they've stopped pretending it is legit and just call whatever they need to for his benefit. He gets the most ******** calls and no calls of anyone.
