Horford also admitted he was in the wrong.

That settles that.

Saying you were in the wrong doesn't necessarilly mean you endorse the decision made by the refs.

He didn't say he shouldn't have been ejected either.

I watched the replay of the whole incident again this morning, actually sober. The more I watch it, the more I laugh at people calling it a dirty play by Delly. His foot clips Carroll's causing him to lose stability and so he tries to give one last lung at checking Horford out at while he's at his hip, but since Horford was moving away, Delly doesn't make great contact and his momentum carries him into the lower body. I can see how people think it looks sketchy, but I don't think Delly was trying to go low.

Anyone claiming the Korver play was dirty is just dumb.

I know everyone arguing this call can see. WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO SEE THAT HORFORD PULLS HIM TO THE GROUND?

Horford also admitted that little bitch of a guard for Cleveland plays wreckless and doesn't give a damn who he hurts in the process. Or how much he hurts them.

So I guess we can take Horford at his word on all of what he said.

Right?

In a vacuum, it was the right call. Technically Horford delivered an intentional blow above the shoulders.

However, taken in context of the bullshite Delly pulled against Korver and the terrible decision by the refs in that situation, I understand why Horford did what he did and think it would have been better not to eject him.

Taken in context that Horford deliberately dropped an elbow to the neck and head of a player on the ground the refs had no choice but to eject him, and made absolutely the right call.

What was that? I didn't see it talked about as a "dirty" play until after the Horford incident. If it wasn't dirty 3 days ago, it's not suddenly dirty because Horford had a ridiculous overreaction.

bullshite against Korver? Like diving for, and getting, a loose ball on the court?

Nice troll. Delly and Korver both dove for a ball. Delly got there first.

The most you can say about Delly is that he's an agitator like he showed vs Taj. He's yet to do anything "dirty" ala a Bruce Bowen.

The refs didn't have a choice but to eject him. It was clearly unnecessary and excessive. There is no "yeah but" here.
