not worth a flagrant two, discuss.

[Louizzle]

It's a good thing Stucky didn't get seriously injured.

[LALDynasty]

he ate stucky ?

[ReaListik]

He knocked Stucky the hell out. He had his hands up going after the ball, and I think this was one of those cases where it looked a lot worse than it really was, partly because Shaq is one of the strongest athletes to ever play pro sports of any kind.

Anytime the Pistons can get nailed with some of their own medicine of hard [expletive] fouls I'm cool with it.

Shaq's just strong... didn't look intentional at all. It's just a hard foul.

[ファイナルファンタジ]

I wouldn't say it's the worst call ever. However, it didn't seem intentional at all and shouldn't be an ejection.

watch at 1.50 :lol: :lol: :lol:

thats the coach

[mlj0820]

wow.
did look kinda bad, looked like Stuckey got whip lash or something, his heck and neck like bounced back up after he hit the floor. Def looked like it didn't feel too good.

I agree with the flagarant foul.
He should have just walked off the floor and not made such a big freaking deal, even pushing his coach away.
Thats totally not cool, but hey thats Shaq, being the big crybaby he is.

His reaction wasn't too humble, but his foul shouldn't have been a flagrant imo. It wouldn't have been a flagrant if Pau had fouled Stuckey in the exact same way.

I think the refs were in a tough situation, with Stuckey hitting the floor that hard it definitely looked like it should have been a flagrant, but in all reality it wasn't.

see what im saying is give the guy a flagrant one so he is cautious next time, not a flagrant two specially when he is a key factor in the game, thats stupid. shaq is just strong! he didnt get ead, he got all arms but the momentum of Stuckey was too great causing the hit!

Pau too soft to do that though.

[Smart Alex]

Damn.

Ok a few things:

First, not deserving of a flagrant 2. Shaq got ball and wrist/arm.

It was a hard foul nothing more than that.

Second, Kwame Brown talking to Shaq after the play. Kwame trying to be a tough guy? Shaq should have Jordan'd Kwame and make him cry.

Third, Shaq should have walked away, but I wonder if him and Porter are going to have problems, they definately were getting into it as Shaq was leaving.

Last, this foul reminds me of a foul a certain ex laker got last year against the Jazz, yes it was a hard foul but not deserving of a flagrant 2:

[LD2k]

No WAY that is a flagrant 2.

[lyk13]

I'd say flagrant 1 the most. The physics is there, stuckey just ran into a brick wall plain and simple, and the fall is the result of that. Too bad big fella...you are just too strong...=/

O'Neal said the play was simply a result of "the laws of physics."

"The laws of physics say that a body in motion stays in motion. So if you have two objects meet in the air, the smaller object is going to fall much harder," O'Neal said. "I've never been the type of player to take anybody out, so I obviously went to the ball. The little guy ran into a brick wall."

ah well wish that coulda happened to kwame instead

[magicmoment]

watch at 1.50 :lol: :lol: :lol:

thats the coach

:lol:

[kobynum]

i think that was a result of the sound stuckey made upon hiting the floor(well i guess the floor made the sound) and Shaq's reputation souring of late. Kobe rap, dissin the heat, and the push on t-mac and Yao. the refs didnt want that on there watch
