Yeah such crap deserves a five game suspension. You can easily take a player out for weeks.

I always think about Bynums garbage against Barea. Could have easily ended with a shoulder injury and the Mavs not winning the ring...

That flagrant 2 was the right call. Bucks fans are biased.

the nets' problem is they are too weak and soft. no enforcers or physicality in their playstyle unlike with the bucks.

Fouls like that can injure a player. Good foul or not.

Should have been a common foul but he landed at an unfortunate angle. Shouldn't have been thrown out of the game.

Play on the ball, dudes hit the floor sometimes it happens nothing dirty about it. Giannis gets fouled harder like 10 times a game. Absolute joke of a flagrant 2.

BS call. That's not a flagrant 2. Middleton doesn't have some history of injuring players.

It was a hard foul, im fine with the flagrant 2 but let's not get carried away here. Not suspension worthy.

Giannis gets hit with that pull down foul about 10 times a game & nobody gets tossed.

Looked like he was trying to make a play on the ball. That should have been a flagrant 1 not 2.

Please just lock up these threads. We got people ruining basketball by making a big deal out of common fouls and bringing attention to it.

He went for the ball, but that was very stupid, he could've injured Brown.

Don't compare one of the all time dirtiest plays in NBA history to Middleton.

A forearm rake is not a dirty play and not a flagrant. If it was then we should be seeing multiple ejections per game. Every foul in the halfcourt where a big gets held down by the forearms from a smaller player to prevent a dunk/layup should also be a flagrant. It's ridiculous. Giannis got fouled worse in a similar manner more than once in that game alone.

Also, let's not forget that Bruce Brown slowed up, and did this weird leaning forward off balance layup attempt which caused him to fall weird in the first place. Makes it look WAY worse than it was. There was no actual arm grab.

This is the Bucks M.O. they're a dirty team that intentionally goes for cheap shots. We've seen it from them before.

Oh look the Bucks fans are complaining about how hard Giannis gets fouled.

Meanwhile Giannis is fouling a single player multiple times per possession.

Give me an example of a worse Flagrant 2 call. I'll be waiting...


Are Buck fans normally this soft? I thought Wisconsin was into football. And for him to cry about his own player fouling someone else......unreal.
