Does anyone else agree with me that Ron Artest did not deserve a flagrant?

Almost everyone agrees that it was not a flagrant, especially a fragrant two. But the thing is that the game had already been decided and the refs did not want to let it get out of control - so no big deal!

By the way, I recorded it on DVR in HD and all that stuff that is much better quality than youtube and he did not get the ball, more his arms and shoulders. Saying that it was a weak drive is nothing more than crying over being beaten. Chill out, you got another home game Sunday.

If I were a Rockets fan, I would be more concerned about Yao's legs and feet than a foul that made no difference in a game.

It should of been a flagrant one, although many would still disagree with me...

This is what happened if you looked very carefully:

When Gasol jumped Artest got a hand on the ball and his hand then a millisecond later he sorta "follows through" with his foul and shoves his hand down...which was quite unnecessary which caused it to be a flagrant...but it shouldn't of been a flagrant 2.

Even Kobe agrees with you that Ron Artest did not deserve a flagrant.

He did deserve it...

The game was already lost for the rockets, so ron was not trying to like save the game winning layup with a hard foul. it was pointless to foul pau that hard, because the lakers won anyway.

completly agree here because he barly touched him. I saw it on espn and I was very very surprised. It's all because of his past history with hard fouls that he got a flagerent but come on. The NBA Reffs are horendous this season in every series

NBA wants to see a Cleveland-Los Angeles FInal so they will do WHATEVER it takes to insure both teams make it.

we all agree... its just, with the reputation he has built for himself he put himself under a microscope.

anything to help the lakers.
