That’s not even a basketball play. He’s not going for the ball

He was going for the block, how was he supposed to know Lively was going to fake it and go under him?

justifying that is shameful

The truth has no place here, it runs only on emotion.

I truly believe that KAT is the most talented, low BBIQ player in the league.

He was milking it, or he would've left the game if it was truly serious

Ur blind. What exactly is a flagrant foul then?

It’s not play on the ball and just smacked the guy

Clear accidental contact. Just unfortunate

If Gobert committed that foul Draymond would have ran on the court and choked him out. Nobody touched Reid lol

I’m with you guys. He was going for the ball and nailed him. I didn’t see any ill intent

Lively hadn't even gone up for the dunk, and Naz Reid clearly lowered his arm causing him to hit Lively in the head. Go watch the replay. It wasn't even close to a play on the ball.

Read on Twitter

Naz Reid clearly got beat and swung down without looking. Reckless play? Pretty clearly. Suggesting it was an intentional swing towards Dereck Lively's head is silly.

lively punching away the ball on that clear rebound by slowmo was so damn good.

Did the wolves just want to not get swept and just say screw it here?
