**** Grayson Allen. Billy D said it best - this is a play that could seriously injure a guy and end his career. He has a history of this **** too. I hope the NBA comes down in him hard.

Nah that ain't no playoff foul. Caruso was up in the air, and exposed, and Allen grabbed both his arms yanked them.

Thats bush league.

It’s one thing to go up and hit the guy on the hands to stop the bucket. It’s the pull down motion that’s dangerous

ok its today and today is a softer more gentle nba, but the smiles by Allen on the bench gives you an pass to punch him in the face without risk of suspension or fine right? that must be in the rule book.

Maybe if this was rugby. Gtfo, can't swing a player like that who is defenseless in the air. Ted Cruz has had a history of this since his college days. POS.

Really not a foul under the rules, should be a shooting foul with a warning. It was a play on ball with hand contact on ball (or hand which is part of ball per the rule books).

The follow-through is a bit sketchy, but Caruso' momentum is going forward, Allen is clamping down trying to block the shot. It is an unintentional dangerous foul, a consequence of a intentional hard foul to stop a layup.

Disappointed no one on Chicago confronted him.

Our enforcer is out with a knee injury

just a clean hard foul by a player who has always played his heart out and played the game the right way and would never get stomped in the face in pickup games ever.

yes totally agree grayson has been playing ball all his life he knows very well that despite jumping lower to begin with and on his way down he can then swing his other arm and cleanly block the ball from the side.

Dude has a history of cheap shots and below the belt bush league tactics... Bucks brought him in for this kind of stuff. Not surprising at all.

i'm honestly surprised there hasn't been an nba player yet to give him a "good honest foul" to give him a taste of his medicine.

and what makes it worse is that allen isn't some bumbling, awkward player. he's very in control of his motions so you know if he did something, he probably meant to do it.

Yep. Nothing at all to do with him actually being a good player or anything. Definitely didn’t bring him in for the near 40% from 3 on high volume.

Reeves is the likeable version of Grayson

Nobody's gonna take a fine and suspension just to hit this ****.

There is a reason punks like him don't make it to the NHL, though.
