If he grabbed and pulled him down, then that would be a different story.

He’s behind him and anticipating Caruso’s arms coming up. He rips down to strip foul him but arms weren’t all the way up yet so he wraps up. Not flagrant.

Exactly, thank goodness. Just shows the weakness with NBA refs and rules.

If a defender is behind the ball carrier its a clear path type foul. At minimum a F1. But its more for argument sake and did not have any bearing on the game.

Thunder were sloppy and it cost them. Expect a win Fri. If not then series is over.

Jay Z bet 1 Million that OKC would win in 5 so he can say good bye to it. I'm sure he'll be fine though.lol

Here is definition from NBA:

A clear path foul is defined as a personal foul against any offensive player during his team’s transition scoring opportunity in the following circumstances:

The ball is ahead of the tip of the circle in the backcourt
No defender is ahead of the offensive player with the transition scoring opportunity
The player with the transition scoring opportunity is in control of the ball (or a pass has been thrown to him)
and if the foul deprives his team of an opportunity to score.

Can you also share the NBA’s definition of flopping?

And whatever word they use for when an offensive player uses his off arm to push off a defender and create space?

He’s suggesting that you can’t foul a player from behind which is of course ridiculous and also not flagrant.

Can't decide if you're more obnoxious after a loss or a win.

Ahh, the change the subject when losing argument trick.

I posted the video and if you think thats a common foul then by all means just keep on trolling.

And again, it did not change outcome of game, but some peeps just cannot admit they are wrong. Some of the same Denver fans tagging along anytime OKC loses lol.

Well you explained the flagrant jjst great now didn’t you lol. Can’t defend the bad call attack the poster.

Surprised that the Pacers were able to get enough fans in attendance to sell the arena out

Lmao, OKC fans are ridiculous complaining about a non flagrant when SGA fouls his defender on 90% of his shot attempts. All I’ve seen him do is push off/elbow defenders in the chest and he gets away with it every time.

This team is mentally weak and has finally met their match.

I don’t think it is. I know it is.

So this is a no, you can’t share the definition of flopping or whatever word they use for when an offensive player uses his off arm to push off a defender and create space.

Just giving the Jokic trolls something to cheer about. Then rug pull.

OKC will still win series. Love the fight Indy has, and Rick is the best coach in league right now. Mark needs to go back to his seasonal starting lineup, IHart starts and Cason off bench.

We will see in game 4. But it is like OKC plays at a level and Indy has to match it and when Indy matches that level, they give OKC fits.

When they don't match that level OKC starts to pull away or wins.

I think Indy is mentally tougher bc of losing in the ECF last year and all the stuff they have done in the playoff this year.

I was hoping for 7 amazing games and so far we have 2.
