What a cheap shot. Punched Griffin in the nuts Jason Terry style.

Also resulted in OKC getting 7 points on 1 possession with less than 2 minutes to play.

You mean Serge Goaltender.

Yes, that is who I meant.

I had no rooting interest in the series, but I felt bad for the Spurs last year against OKC. Serge Goaltender getting away with obvious goal tends just made me sick.

You guys just aren't used to having someone who can actually jump on your roster.

Actually, we just aren't used to the refs allowing a guy to swat balls that had already touched the backboard and count them as blocks.

Don't you know the unwritten rules? If you didn't go to college in America, you can't goaltend. So it doesn't apply to Dwight, Dumb Josh, or Ibaka.

Other than Durant, I can't stand any of those clowns.

Nbbob please explain how Ibaka did not goal tend in the video. Also notice the announcer says this is at least the 3rd time Ibaka did it in the series.

I may have bad vision but I can't see without a doubt that the ball hit the backboard before he touched it. He pins it, but you can do that if you don't touch it after it hits the backboard. To me, especially at game speed, that is a tough call to make. Again, I'm not saying I'm 100 correct that Serge didn't get the ball after it hit the backboard but it, at best, appears to be a split second either way. I wouldn't complain if that wasn't called on a Thunder drive.

Said Thunder coach Scott Brooks: "It was a scrum and both were battling for position."

Blake was probably flopping.

Only rockets and mavs fans whine about officiating

He's a dirty player and its been known for awhile. Reason Stephen Jackson called him out earlier in the year.

The same Jackson that brawled in the stands in Detroit?

Stephen Jackson, though.

It's amazing that guys think they can get away with stuff like that in the NBA where everything is filmed from 10 different angles.

That was some serious chicken sh** that Ibaka did.

I hate punks like that. Can't stand the dewshs that make excuses for it either.

Ibaka

best case scenario he was swinging down to stop griffin from blocking him out which is still a blatant foul and still worthy of a flagrant one. the video seems pretty clear he is aiming for griffins junk. i am surprised they could watch that video and not eject him. he should get a game or two

Jackson is a thug but he isn't dirty. Just because you a gangta doesn't mean you take cheap shots on the court.

Bruce Bowen is a great person who does tons in the community for example, on the court though...........

Lol at spurs fans whining about Ibaka.

Remember this dirty mother****er? He played on your team.

Jackson won't sucker punch you in the nuts. He'll look you right in the eye while he punches you in the face.

Who's whining? Just callin it like it is. He's a dirty player. It doesn't bother me. Nothing new to the Spurs.

Easy on them....a lot of times Spur fans don't even realize they are whining.

lol @ spurs fans *****ing about dirty players and then praise bowen for being a great defensive player and then gets his jersey retired. gtfo dumbass spurs fans

Spurs fans are mad Ibaka slapped every one of Tony Parker's gay ass teardrops to the ****ing round.

Bowen was awesome.

Ibaka is a clown.

I would have respected Ibaka if he did a more of a Ric Flair strut after the below the belt shot that was part of the Flair repertoire.

I think he did that after the Thunder eliminated the Spurs last year. But I could be wrong.

Aren't you a PHX fan?

Life sucks so badly you have to vicariously live through the Thunders success?

Ibaka should sit a couple just like Meta had to last year.

Ric Flair reference.

I like Dwight Howard's comments about playing Ibaka:

quote:

---

You gotta wear a cup,” Howard said.

“He goes hard,” Howard said. “Balls out. Serge Ibaka.”

---

Phoenix?! Not so much.

Yeah, I see your point, Boo....flagrant elbow to the head that results in the recipient missing games pretty much the same as a nut punch that results in the recipient laying on the ground looking at the refs until they make a call.

It's hilarious to me that nobody can discuss a dirty play without bringing up Bruce Bowen. He last played 4 seasons ago. Is Bruce still in yall's heads? Yikes.

No kidding Bruce made dirty plays. That doesn't change the fact that Ibaka took a swing at Griffin's nuts.

Also, has the league not come out with anything about that play? I'm surprised. I figured he'd get a game or 2 suspension.

Why was it ruled a flagrant 1 instead of a flagrant 2?

Somewhat related, but why did Barea's foul last night on Ray Allen result in a flagrant 2 and not flagrant 1?

Around :30 mark:
http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=400278612

Officials initially ruled it a Flagrant 1, but changed the call upon reviewing it, eliciting strong protests from Barea and Wolves coach Rick Adelman, who also picked up a technical foul. Adelman was furious after the game, alluding to an incident two weeks ago against Golden State in which Wolves center Greg Stiemsma was hit in the chest by a forearm shiver from Jarrett Jack, but was given a Flagrant-1 and allowed to keep playing.

"I just have one question I want to ask the league," Adelman said. "Why is that a Flagrant-2 foul tonight and the other night Jarrett Jack hit Stiemsma in the stomach with a forearm that that was a Flagrant 1? I would just like to know the difference. That changed the whole game."

Wow, that was a terrible flagrant 2 call. A complete joke.
