I'd say the ONLY reason Hayes didn't get a Flagrant 2 on the hit against Lebron is because on the play previous Lebron cracked his ribs with an elbow and the refs didn't call anything. :roll:

That's your opinion.

It could easily be called a Flagrant 1, as well. Part of the bad optics are because Crowder exaggerates the contact, as usual.

The difference between a Flagrant 1 and Flagrant 2 is basically a subjective judgement call by the official.

Here's Crowder getting massacred by 5'11", 175 lb Alvarado:

Watch the Hayes' shove starting at the 11 second mark of this video:

Do you really think we can't find hundreds of examples of Flagrant 1's that are equal or worse to this?

Here's the same player earlier in the season. This is clearly intentional as well. Why is it not Flagrant 2 but the one last night is?:

Man you’re really up a tree about this. If there were football refs out there they would have called unnecessary roughness. I know Jae can be a flopper but how do you flop a blind sided hockey check? Come talk to us when your best players get suspended in the WCF for stepping over an out of bounds line during an altercation they weren’t even in.

I hope the refs don’t start kicking the ball and falling for CP3’s rip through move in this game smh

Zion needs to work himself into mental and physical shape to get back out there with this squad. A healthy motivated Zion would be nuts for this team.
