I caught this incident as it happened (I was flipping channels, I can't stand watching the NBA) and I thought that Wallace had reason to be upset. He still should have let the officials handle it but I thought the foul was borderline flagrant. I make my case with the camera angle from behind that they showed live and then it was the first replay until the highlight shows. It looked to me like Artest went after the ball with one hand and he grabbed Wallace's shoulder with the other and yanked back on it. Seeing how it is the NBA and we had a post a while back that told us that in the NBA you have to think about who is doing the action before you make a call I thought it would have possibly been better to call it flagrant. Did anyone else see it this way or is it just me? I thought the officials did everything they could and more in this situation. The blame needs to be shared by all that were involved.
