NBA L2M: “Sabonis follows through after attempting to reach the loose ball and contact occurs with Curry’s head/face. Contact to an opponent’s head/face can be deemed marginal when the result of a natural basketball move…”
i know damn well if this was draymond green doing this to de’aaron fox it would have been called flagrant. league doesn’t even call this a foul.
This is textbook bending the definition of a rule to fit the narrative you want. All illegal contact is a foul. If it’s incidental it can be just a common foul and not a flagrant, but OP is right, even something like this has been called a flagrant against some players in the past.
They don’t even care about us seeing through what they’re up to anymore because they just fine anyone who speaks up into the ground and then double down on bullshit calls against the team. NBA barely above the WWE these days in integrity.

Lol not a warriors fan here, but when I read the title, I thought it was a r/nbacirclejerk post. The L2M report is comical

They really couldn’t just say incorrect no call, didn’t see it?
Meh who cares. Two minute report isn’t going to change the result.

The Warriors still blew it. Now some are going to saw that Curry should have been in concussion protocol.

And the hand pulling Wiggins’ shirt in this photo?

Then draymond green hitting Nurkic is a follow through on a basketball move. A flail is a commonly implemented move by the league’s stars after all

the fuck? how many times have players taken a natural basketball swipe at the ball to end up hitting the head and get called for a flagrant. How does that not apply here?

if draymond did this they put him in front of a firing squad midcourt on the next stoppage

L2M report is consistently hilarious

They never admit fault when it’s a game altering mess up. This is always a foul and almost always reviewed for a flagrant.
