If a foul was to be called here, it would have been on Ibaka.

Absolutely agree, I am not arguing that at all. The jersey hold seems to be one passed on frequently and Ibaka pushes him to the floor quite nicely. If there hadn't been the F1, there still would have been a foul on Ibaka.

No more personal than your original post was to the officials who made the call.

Pretty sure they'll get downgraded if it's as bad as everyone says it is (I have no need to watch the replay, since I'm not offering an opinion on the play), but your fanboyesque rant to start this thread is going to get you some negative response. And that response is easily going to include a reference to your relative inexperience.

If you don't like the heat, put the matches down.

Note, I'm not saying you're a fanboy; only that your thread here comes across that way.

Not only should this be a FF2, should also result in a fine/suspension by the leaugue.

Upgrade to a flagrant foul penalty two and a fine...about what I expected. Would have been surprised if there was a suspension.
