That was probably a make up for the intentional kick to Pritchard's face.

I'm signing Dwight Howard next season and telling him to do that exact foul 6 times a game all season to all the Stars we're playing

That was a clear flagrant 1 but the kick deserved it as well. Both fanbases gotta be pissed off.

Depending on the game it can be a Flagrant 1, common foul, or "incidental contact".

94-90, halfway to go in the final quarter.

Pacers season on the line on how they handle this impending Celtics run. Boston wants to end it tonight and get that extra rest-- and avoid any more injuries.

In a world where in the same game Jackson kicked Pritchard in the face and wasn’t called for a flagrant

Yep. Ok to hit someone in the face if you’re going for the ball and you clearly miss. Unreal

If your not gonna call that a flagrant, you go to the end of bench guy, and have them go in with the sole intent of punching Brown in the face, but make it look like a play on the ball.

Back in the day, each team had an enforcer. Might be time to return to those days.

Make up call for the first half kick, but both of them should have been flagrant.

It’s ok to practice your roundhouse kick (to the opponent’s head) too

Nah man. As long as they’re consistent which they were, then it’s absolutely fine. If they called one and not the other then people can be upset.
