AK-47's flop - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I thought Scola did impede AK, and that constituted a foul. It would be a very meaningful foul, had T-mac shot the ball. However having passed the pall, it became less meaningful. But it happened at the same time the shot/pass decision was occurring.

AK obviously embellished it by grabbing Scola's arm and then throwing his own arms up.

Here's to you, AK, for a great play. Jazz in 4.

That was weak, though I sense it was a make up call for Battier's mauling of AK on a rebound on an earlier play.

Nobody is saying "stupid foul by Scola." But that is what it was. You can't stick out your arm to impede a player.

The Rockets are an awful team with an overrated "superstar". It was funny listening to Magic defend him.

Agreed.

Scola was getting away with clutching and grabbing all night long.

Scola sees nothing wrong... with a little bump and grind...

That clear out move by Scola is a thing of beauty. How the refs don't see that is beyond me.

Wait - they flop in the NBA? Say it ain't so.

Hmm. I know what the word "flop" is, and I know "NBA," but I'm not sure how they go together in this sentence. I wonder if this statement contains a scribal error.

Possibly. I'm loaded with Robitussin right now.
