Zero sportsmanship.. left the man on the floor and didn't even try to help soften the fall or help him up...

I look for this. Intentionally unsportsmanlike... and injurious

*out of the game. Doesn't matter who you are.

Where was the game? Lakers HOME COURT

lots of problems leaving that man in the game

Should have been a flagrant 2. Hart hit the floor pretty hard. It ramped up tension that probably contributed to what followed.

Yep it was wack, we (crowd at the game) yelled and booed when it happened. I thought it was going to be a Flagrant 2 but guess not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hart has to sell it. That's how dumb the league is, they react based off the result of the action and not the action itself. Hart needs to hold his neck like he needs CPR next time.

Flagrant 1 was the right call.. especially when you consider how light they gave Rondo and BI of suspensions

Like Harden did when Artest didn't really hit him as hard or intentionally with his elbow as the media and Okies made it seem. They acted like he got hit by a shotgun. He didn't take the full force of that and was laying there poking his eye out from under his arms around his head to see if Artest was ejected, so he could get up like nothing happened.

So apparently no big deal? Flagrant one stands?

Wonder how the refs and league would react if next time Harden tries blowing through a defender they similarly "wrap him up and let him drop" then walk away.

No discussion of a continuation if there is no shot. Doesn't even have to be a clothesline. Just a simple two handed wrap or two handed smother. Let momentum take the players where they go.

What's to discuss? They gave him a flagrant 1, which is what the play deserved. Nothing else to say about it, besides the fact we bricked both foul shots if I remember correctly.

It’s sad but true.

Glad Hart didn’t stay down and pretend to be injured, though.

It was called a flagrant 1. None of the players on the court seemed to have much issue with it. Hart played it right, he let the contact take him to the ground so the foul would be called. Luke and Stu both described it more like a WWE clothesline but that isn't what I saw.
