i have fond memories of the bubble, so much ball, a radiant light during a dark and troubling time. here's a clip from the bubble that some posters might enjoy reliving, just to jog the memory

There's a reason why flagrant fouls are treated differently from fouls that occur in the course of normal play. They are very dangerous to players even when they are unintentional. Allen will gladly and intentionally commit a flagrant 1 in any situation where he thinks it might benefit his team.
To Matt's mind, this is nbd. Matt is not and never will be the player on the receiving end of a flagrant 1 delivered by a NBA-sized athlete, but he might change his mind about 'nbd' if he ever caught one.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Saturday, 22 January 2022 19:18 (two years ago) link
I don't even know the difference between flagrant fouls, I simply want Grayson Allen to be beaten up
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 22 January 2022 19:41 (two years ago) link
there should be three levels of flagrant (third one you get beat up)
― lag∞n, Saturday, 22 January 2022 19:48 (two years ago) link
thought the initial play was just a hard foul but he went too far by then swinging around with the right arm. you can't do that with his rep and not expect to get tossed
i was once sent to the infirmary by a cherokee parks elbow, so i'm sure aimless will defer to my judgment on these matters

^agree. That's not a 'normal' foot motion while defending. Allen attempted to trip Rose, but to do so surreptitiously enough that the refs wouldn't catch him.
