I feel sorry for Horford and his rookie year. He has already committed two flagrant fouls in his first year and didn't get ROY. Of course, this one shouldn't have been a flagrant IMO, but I hope he doesn't change his attitude like Kwame Brown or something because of this.

It WAS a flagrant - he grabbed KG over the shoulders just to avoid being dunked on: If contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted to be unnecessary, a flagrant foul--penalty (1) will be assessed.".
Come on, even if you hate the Celtics or KG you can't tell with a straight face that wasn't a flagrant!

Yeah, just like the one they called travel on Horford when Rondo was pulling Horford's arm and shoulder. I guess Rondo supposes to get a flagrant too.
Take off you glasses man! These types of contacts happen all the time. The player who is defending hold the opposing player in order to avoid chances of and 1. You can't call people flagrant foul for that.

I'll give you the flagrant but doesn't excuse:
Rondo foulding Horford and the Travel call
Ref saying its Celts ball while players are still battling for it and Powe clearly touched it last
BS 4 and Zero loose ball bailout
BS offensive foul on Joe Johnson on the flop
This officiating has been atrocious but it's to be expected. Can't let the lowly Hawks beat this team with all of its prestige

No surprise that you ignore the Hawks shooting twice as many free throws and the horrible foul call on Perkins where he knocked the ball out of bounds of Smith and instead of it being Celtics ball with Perkins having 2 fouls, Perkins has 3 and Smith hits 2 free throws. There was also a charge on Childress that was ruled a block on Pierce. The refs are hardly the reason the Hawks are losing.ImmortalD24 wrote:I knew the reffing was going to really favor the Celtics after Joe Johnson was called for his second on that Powe flop, no way the hawks pull off a win.
With that said, that wasn't a flagrant. KG sold it big time and the refs bought it. I've never understood why refs change their minds whether the foul is flagrant or not based on whether a player is taking a while to get up or not. Call it right away, as 99% of the league acts or flops now and you just can't go by that.

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:
"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

Just ask any Celtics fan though, they feel they are the ones getting the bad end of the fould calls since they have shot less free throws.
