Worst Fragrant Call Ever

[MD Longhorn]

Derek Fisher called for getting run over by the Lebron Train. Foul yes. Flagrant? YGTBSM.

[JugglingReferee]

Agreed.

I usually like Monty a lot, but it appeared he initiated the conference, only to come up with a seemingly confusing ruling.

[REFANDUMP]

I know it's a typo, but I like the idea of a fragrant foul !!! I've had enough games that stink !!!

The only thing I saw that would support a flagrant is that he didn't just get run into but he chucked him with his arms....adding unnecessary contact.

That's exactly what they called the flagrant for...plus they probably erred on the side of upgrading to a flagrant foul because they didn't want the Thunder, who were getting drummed at that point, to start taking out their frustrations on the opposing team and wanted to nip that in the bud.

But the contact in of itself wasn't a flagrant foul IMO.

I believe it was just a bad call. And Fisher didn't even make contact with Lebron when he threw his arms out.

I actually agree with Van Gundy on this, they should be able to go to the monitor to decide whether to upgrade to a flagrant. That was a bad call. It was damn near a charge since Fischer slid over and he ends up getting trucked over AND given a flagrant!! dang.

Definitely looked like a bad call to me. But, these guys are the best and they're allowed to miss one now and then, too.
