Flagrant...?

There has been heated debate all day on Twitter, and also on some of my favorite blogs including Red'sArmy.com and GinosJungle.com about this play. Lebron James comes in from the wing and is corralled by Kendrick Perkins. Fans at the Garden seem to like this, but referee Bennett Salvatore does not. He called it a flagrant 1. In my opinion, Perk does not really make a play on the ball until after the body check. And when NBA refs consider flagrant fouls, a play on the ball is key in their decision. Check out the clip and vote on the poll in the right sidebar afterwards. It's a tough call, especially if you're a fan like me and tend to go with your heart rather than your head. Big thanks to Jay, aka MrTrpleDouble10 for the clip. Check out all his YouTube vids here: MrTrpleDouble10'sYouTube
