FF2. Heat-T-Wolves

I had no problem with the flagrant foul penalty two assessed there.

At least they had the balls to call it.

Berea is a flopper and has done so before. I think it was more of an act on the first play. I liked the FF2 call personally.

First part of the play is an easy no call...Barea embellishes the amount of contact on the play and is known to do so, and in fact has been fined for it as well. I have no issue with the FF2 on the play afterward.

Flop by Barea. Good FF2 call.

Love how the announcer thinks Allen flopped.

I had a big problem with it. He bumped Ray Allen with his chest. Allen wasn't airborne when it happened. It was a run-of-the-mill NBA FF1.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if it gets downgraded.

I'm guessing the officials took into account the retaliatory nature of this play for what Barea perceived to be a push by Allen. I agree that the play by itself is a FF1.

If I were a betting man, I'd guess it'd be downgraded as well.

Allen clearly pushed Barea, and if it gets called correctly then the FF doesn't get called. However I am not surprised that the initial foul by Allen wasn't called. Those plays are rarely called in the NBA. I don't think it was a FF 2 at all.

That wasn't a foul on Allen at all...Barea embellished the amount of contact on the play (as he's known to do). That's not an NBA thing IMO as I wouldn't even call that in a game I worked.

In my opinion he did. As I said I didn't expect it to get called though. We will just have to agree to disagree. In my opinion Allen pushes Barea, who does emblish a bit, but the push still happened.
