Flagrant 2 on Artest? That's gotta be a joke!

[eagles nut]

It's perfectly fair for Artest's past to affect his calls now. Behavior has consequences. And the Rockets should have known the deal when they traded for him.

At times we call him PauGusoft for a reason. No way in hell was that even close to be a Flag #2. I hate what the refs do to the game sometimes. It was a hard foul, Pau just got up after the play and as chick hearn used to say No Harm, No Foul. I hope he doesnt get suspended would be a boring game without Artest in there. See you guys game 4.

Battier was the one who caused the problems not Ron. Ron got ball with one hand and hit Gasol with the other but Battier tomahawk chopped Gasol and pushed from behind. The foul should've been on him and if any flagrant was called it would've been on him since he was a full step behind. It's only fair that Stu reduces Ron's to nothing... and assesses a flag 1 on Battier.

Of course this is the same guy who said that Alston's byatch slap was equal to Fisher's Polamalu hit.

Horrible call 3 guys go in and foul him and Artest gets the flagrant 2? Battier tried to pull him down by his waist you had Lowry got him the worse out of all 3 players I think. The league should change this defiantly not a flagrant 2.

It's the refs playing mind games with the fans.

The talk of the town this week was that a lot of fans think Kobe should be out and got special treatment for being aloud to play after his elbow in game 2.

Now it will look fair that Ron will get to play in game 4 after his flagrant 2 in game 3, even though their was no flagrant.

They caught a break with Kobe and now we'll catch a break.

I MEAN HOW IN THE **** DO YOU MAKE THAT CALL WITH A REPLAY? HOW IN THE **** DO YOU DO THAT? HOW IN THE **** DOES RAJON RONDO KNOCK OUT BRAD MILLERS TEETH AND SWING AT HIS HEAD, WHEN HE HAD A CLEAR PATH....BUT THATS NOT EVEN A FLAGRANT. BUT RON'S ATTEMPT AT A BLOCK WAS ?**** the NBA. I'm honestly about to be down with this WWE ****.

I personally think Kobe should have played and did. And I don't think Ron should have been ejected in either game. I want fairness. Not mind games. Not our guys arms being pinned to their sides when they grab boards, and then getting whistled themselves. We lost game 3 straight up, so i can live with that. Game 2 we got a good rogering from the refs, but that would have been close and we probably would have lost anyways. JUST CALL A FAIR GAME...otherwise I'm out.
