As a reminder, a Flagrant Foul Penalty 1 is defined as "unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent."
Determining factors include:
* The severity of the contact
* Whether or not the offending player was making a legitimate play on the ball
* The "nature of the follow-through."
* The potential for injury.

What are we looking at here???
we really got Spurs-Thunder in the WCF and it went 7. as hoops fans, from an objective standpoint, this was the dream, right? we had an absolute classic G1, and it's been a back-and-forth, ultra-physical chess match ever since. and here we are: Wemby and his squad vs. Shai and the defending champs on a Saturday night playing for everything. it really doesn't get any better.
shoutout to everyone who had a hand in taking the shine off this series, forcing the focus to what it's been the last week-plus. the big aggregator accounts. the engagement farmers. the twitter algorithm. so much of the national media. that gambling company. the guy who compiled that original viral video of Shai falling five times in one game. and of course Fall% Tom, for his groundbreaking work in bringing to life what will surely prove a revolutionary basketball metric.
congrats on the engagement, y'all!
in all seriousness, though, I rest assured in knowing the real ones have enjoyed this. and I sincerely hope everyone can enjoy the game tonight. these don't come around very often!
Tim Legler says people just need to accept the fact that OKC wins games because they’re a better team, not flopping:
“I know a lot of people want to make it about the whistle every time Oklahoma City plays because they hate Oklahoma City, whatever. To me, this game was not about the whistle. It was about the fact that Oklahoma City had more guys step up and raise the bar that needed to on a given night.”
