Good grief, the NBA and its' officials really need to re-evaluate their flagrant foul calling procedures. There's been ridiculous calls throughout the season - not to mention throughout the playoffs when they need to consider carefully the impact of these calls - and I just saw another one.
PJ Brown just got hit with a Flagrant 1 on an attempt to block a dunk. He didn't jump high enough to get a hand on the ball, so he went up to stop the dunk. The shooter fell and fell pretty hard - but in no way was it a flagrant foul.
We all recall the Lakers' Ronny Turiaf getting hit with a Flagrant 2 and ejected from the game on a hard foul during the Jazz series - another bad call. Hard fouls aren't flagrant fouls every single time.
One of these games, a bad flagrant call is going to ultimately cost a team a game, a series, and maybe even a championship. The league desperately wants to clean up their act from the 80's Badboy days but they've gone too far with it. The game is too clean and pretty now. You can barely touch someone in the air or the hammer falls.
So, my message to David Stern?
STOP MAKING THE TEAMS PLAY PUSSY BASKETBALL!
Thank you.

Hilarious Title to this post. NBA Players are notorious for being pussies (watch their faces during a slo-mo when one of them falls) - that, I believe, is why Stern is making them play pussy-ball.
