AK-47's flop
I thought Scola did impede AK, and that constituted a foul. It would be a very meaningful foul, had T-mac shot the ball. However having passed the pall, it became less meaningful. But it happened at the same time the shot/pass decision was occurring.
AK obviously embellished it by grabbing Scola's arm and then throwing his own arms up. Here's to you, AK, for a great play. Jazz in 4. |

That was weak, though I sense it was a make up call for Battier's mauling of AK on a rebound on an earlier play.

Nobody is saying "stupid foul by Scola." But that is what it was. You can't stick out your arm to impede a player.
The Rockets are an awful team with an overrated "superstar". It was funny listening to Magic defend him. |

Scola was getting away with clutching and grabbing all night long.

That clear out move by Scola is a thing of beauty. How the refs don't see that is beyond me.

Wait - they flop in the NBA? Say it ain't so.

Hmm. I know what the word "flop" is, and I know "NBA," but I'm not sure how they go together in this sentence. I wonder if this statement contains a scribal error.
