Tigers vs Kings

^ Where do people get this stuff? Did Dann's finger get them in the eye as well?

last post was me sorry

I think there might be a FIBA rule against flopping
tech foul or so . Don't think NBL have ever panalised anyone , I think .
Seems there's no FIFA rule about flopping , but A-League penalise it.
Seth Scott may ask for a fair and equitable share of his fine be paid by Bruce.

Mills was the leagues premier flopper last season, once he departed Bose carried the torch

The second giveaway is that Bruce's "reaction" comes at exactly the time the poke in the eye would have taken place, which is not the way one reacts in reality. His throwing back of his head was to draw the refs' attention to the contact that occurred around his neck.

Btw I have no issue with Bruce milking the contact for a foul. What bugged me was him clutching his eyes and staying on the floor for an extended period when he did not get hit anywhere near the eyes and the contact that he did get would obviously not have hurt him.
Take a bit of a flop, sure. Get yourself the call, but don't act like you need a freakin' ambulance.
I know we're competing with the A League for tv ratings but leave that stuff to the pros in the Italian national team.

Reputations are irrelevant, keep to the facts of the matter and the evidence.

Character and previous behaviour is at best circumstantial and best left for penalties once guilt has been established or empathically proven by the evidence.

Graham Dann needs the book thrown at him for his act of thuggery and Bruces eye shouldn't escape without penalty for retaliating.

Dann did not hit Bruce in the eye. The angle at the 0:36 mark of the above video clearly shows at least a couple of inches of fresh air in between hand & face.

People disagreeing on just about everything
even after watching it many times
iofbeholder
refs saw it once.

I think the game answered lotsa questions about both clubs. Kings disciplined under Heal & Tigers quite the opposite under Anstey. This Tigers outfit is talented & imagine if Goorgian was at the helm. But they will under achieve as he doesnt appear a great coach. Bad call happen & Sydney made the most of it. Flynn needs a stricter coach & doesn't look like he works hard at all. He's no superstar at all!!

I didn't agree with the commentators' suggesting that Flynn flopped early on - he got quite a shove.

I agree with rjd, it looks like Dann may have caught him in the eye.

Watching the first three quarters, the term 'hungo' refers to Johnny Flynn. On numerous shots, he could have passed it off to someone open but chose the hard shot. Reminiscent of Hodge (let me do the hard yards)

Its great to have a mercurial player, but its also pivotal to have a player who is a team player. And he aint

2 intentional fouls = 4 shots + possession.
Looked like an intentional foul to me , even though Bruce made it look worse. Then Scott gave a clip to the ear and sent off.

Thought Ballinger and Flynn were gonna win it at first
Later Bruce got going.

Is Flynn trying to do too much? Had some great moves, that mutiple dribbles behind his back, crossing over and spinning to the basket was ..........wow. Martin was left standing on the spot. Yet he still didn't score because of the help defense.

I've enjoyed watching the Kings this season. Credit to Heal, he's got them playing with solidarity and purpose. I like their mongrel attitude.
