Anyone else saw that?

He had Carter on a chokeslam position and when Korver was going for the save he hammered him with a Khali tomahawk chop

did you really needed to make a thread?

And no I don't remember. I do remember the stupid flagrant he threw out there. From some reason he thinks by swiping off it is good defense, and this just proves how aweful dumb he is on that side.

I guess you dont have that great of a memory Duiz, because that "so called flagrant" on Boozer was BS! Had the ball not been stripped at the last second by D-Will, Boozer probably wouldve got a block or got the guy on the arm....however, the ball got stripped and Boozer was already in motion going for the ball. His hand hit the guys shoulder, but the refs thought he hit him in the face so they called a personal foul on D-Will for the reach in (which was a clean swipe) and a tech on Boozer for the hand to the face. Both calls were wrong, IMO.

Erm, so that means that if AK comes down the lane without the ball that I am free to hammer down his shoulder?

I agree the reach in was wrong foul, totally with you on that.

But the issue is that Boozer also tried to slap the ball, and since he was blind since he was being screen he got the flagrant. Perhaps it didn't hit him in the head, but with the strength that some players, specially Centers and power forwards apply with the arms can actually bruise or microfracture the shoulder of a player. Boozer once again thinks that by throwing a swipe that he has done his job defensively. We know that he is definitely not malintentioned, but so wasn't Dirk Nowitzki's grab.

I agree, about D-Will's foul, but Boozer's swipe was a foul, flagrant foul 1, and deserves no suspension. But sure just proves the bad habits that our man Boozer has on defense.

What??? That was a good play by Boozer. What did you want him to do- just let the guy have an open layup?

The ball was stripped by D-Will a fraction of a second before Boozer got the arm. it's not like he came down the lane without the ball.
