Al Horford HUGE collision with Blake Griffin (Feb. 4, 2011)

Al Horford collides with Blake mid-air and lands violently on his back. Al managed to sink the 2 free throws for the win. That was nasty, but still not a flagrant IMO ... http://thehoopscene.com

@eb4cd you're a moron! are you blind? check the last replay at 0:40 is that what you call straight up?

[limosince2007]

There is no way that's a flagrant. He had his arms straight up in the air and was going for the ball. Sure, there was a big collision, but it really wasn't as much Griffin's fault as it looked at first.

Beast Griffin said NO!

@limosince2007 Yeah, thats no flagrant because he is not Lebron he is not Kobe or KD. Al Horford plays big.

@BiGBeN21 wat else would it be? crooked like your sexuality

Everybody in the arena just went ooooh!...wooow!

I know Blake couldn't just let Al score the game-winner but that was a nasty foul by Griffin. It could have ended much worse, smashing down a player on his back with that speed while in mid air. I think the flagrant is just given to make clear it was too dangerous

@sickestilocan0 that wasn't straight up men! check it 0:40 he jumped into him that's why the fouled was called, horford grab his arm to gain some sense of balance as he was going to flip over. Have you not been hit while in mid air while playing ball?

[limosince2007]

@eb4cd Without making a play for the ball? Are you kidding me? He had his hands straight up in the air which is what you're taught to do? How was that a play on anything other than the ball? I do agree though, it was a foul as he was moving into him when the collision happened but in no way was this a flagrant. Even worse, it was a flagrant that ended up losing them the game.
