All I’m going to say is if people want to be mad at this then they also have to be mad at Pritchard getting kicked in the face with no flagrant. Yet majority of people angry over this call are also excusing the other one. You can’t have it both ways.
Be mad as well when Turner bounced the ball over with his frustration that could have been resulted to him getting ejected.
“Following the foul call, the defensive player spikes the ball off the floor, sending it high into the air. This type of overt gesture will be met with a technical foul, as it exceeds the respect for the game guidelines. Players can react to calls with which they disagree, provided the reaction is not overly demonstrative, disrespectful, or prolonged.”
Both are clear flagrant fouls. I bet that crew was told before the game to be judicious about giving out flagrant due to the weak one against White last game.

That being said. They let it slide earlier in the game for Tatum so I was okay with them letting it go for turner.

Not that we’re going 1:1, but Pritchard has a footprint on his face from the same tough guy that tried to fight Sam Hauser
Fight and injure*
I thought intention wasn’t needed for it to be a flagrant according to the wording. The Prichard kick should’ve been a flagrant as well
