Big Baby's Flagrant 2, Now a Flagrant 1

As it should have been. Can the NBA please do something about their incompetent officials? They went back and watched the tape, and still couldn't make the right call!

Flagrant fix

The NBA yesterday reduced Davis’ Flagrant 2 foul Friday night on Cleveland’s Anderson Verajao to Flagrant 1 status. But with that move, the league didn’t tell Rivers anything he didn’t already know.

“I could have done that live,” said Rivers. “That wasn’t very hard to do. It was probably an overreaction because of the importance of the game. The game was getting a little chippy, and they felt they had to keep it under control. But when they said Flagrant 2 you knew they were going to reverse it.”

Well, not quite.

Though Davis was spared a fine or further suspension, there was no way to take back his ejection from the Cavaliers game.

Yep, that was a bull call by the refs. Glad those incompetents failed to hand the Cavaliers the victory.

While I wouldn't have complained about a flagrant 1, it barely even warranted that, never mind a 2. That was the worst officiating I've seen in years.

So Mr Smart was correct about the incorrect call during the game......I for one stand corrected 8-)

Since it was on Varajackass, Baby should be commended...although he obviously didn't foul hard enough!
