[Highlight] Max Strus headbutts Scottie Barnes in the chin; flagrant 1 on review
That’s a flagrant 2 in the regular season IMO
That’s a flagrant 2 if it was in Toronto lol
Bro getting deported to another country if it’s Toronto.
That’s a flagrant 2 if Zack Zarba wasn’t sucking Harden’s cock
I think they just really don’t want to toss anyone in the playoffs.
Probably shouldn’t headbutt people then
I don’t disagree but it’s shades of Heatpack Murray literally throwing stuff on the court from the bench. He didn’t get tossed for that either
Just because someone who should’ve been tossed wasn’t, doesn’t mean someone head butting someone shouldn’t get tossed.
Do you realize that I agree with you?
I’m observing a pattern, not advocating that the pattern is valid and ought to continue.
I’m just pissed. My bad.
Strus is lucky that his head is apparently hollow as any meaningful force would surely have to be an ejection.
I think if Scottie made it a bigger deal, he might have been gone. Strus for the act itself and “instigating” a potential fight. Scottie just needs to be “held” back
Honestly that should be a flagrant 2 every single time idk why it’s a 1 here
Shit that’s a flagrant 2 in game 7 of the finals.
that’s an ejection if he touched SGA
There should be a Flagrant 1.5 where a player must sit on the bench for the next 12 minutes of game clock time
No way it’s a flagrant 2 if it’s past half-court
That doesn’t even make any sense
It’s a flagrant if you shove a guy for no reason running up the court, but sometimes you can send someone flying or elbow them in the head without going past a common foul if you’re trying to play normal basketball. Playing aggressive defence like that when you’re way behind the ball is ridiculous and pointless, but it’s not as crazy in a set half-court possession, and the league wants players to understand that, so they officiate accordingly
Can anybody explain what he was doing
Heard the USA chants and channeled his patriotism into needless violence like a true American
Gobbless
The audacity to chant U-S-A when they’re speed running their way into irrelevance is actually wild
The USA chants were so tacky lol.
Being a dumbass?
He was trying to raise Barnes’ stun gauge
Winter Soldier waking up smh
Mans been grabbing RJ and Scottie all game too
Barnes told Strus that, “his mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries.”
I think he is trying to head down and defending full court, but accidentally bumped?
Tryna play ‘tough full-court defense’ but his dumbass is 20 feet behind the ball
Trying to play D but he was too short
Tried to hit his favorite yoga pose before getting a matcha latte
The USA chant is so cringe
It feels incredible that there was a time in my life I felt “USA” was something to be proud of
I feel for you. That’s a harsh reality
The are a sad sad pitiful country let them have their small win
You’d think a crowd from goddamn Cleveland would know better
also i think it’s technically still part of poland
every empire falls at some point. they will too
Says the perpetual footnote of the modern world
Not dumb enough to vote for a felon at least.
Yeah and your leadership has clean hands? Remind me how all the whites up there in Canada came to own all that land?
By conquest, killing and massacring indigenous people. No justification whatsoever from me and many Canadians. But it doesn’t change the fact that despite it being the 21st century the mighty USA is going backwards
You’re not even wrong. Shit is kinda fucked over here right now.
But like….this is a basketball sub. Raps fans all in here and other threads talking shit about the US and getting political.
Doesn’t need to turn into a fuckin CNN roundtable just cause you lost at basketball.
Big difference between something that happened before you’re born and consciously choosing to support a racist, rapist, piece of trash.
Yeah ok.
I’m done arguing politics on this sub because a bunch of Canadians can’t handle a loss. Gotta cope n bring up Trump and healthcare n shit cause they got booted in the first round.
Fuckin dweebs
Man come on these people at the game don’t speak for all of us. We most definitely aren’t all like that.
It’s pretty great actually
How is that not a 2. Like he could have given scottie a concussion
Maybe if his man bun was made of lead?
Probably just because it’s game 7
Another reason NBA is a joke. Zero consistency.
I actually don’t think I’ve ever seen a sport that’s called completely differently in the playoffs from the regular season
Yep. Still salty they “couldn’t” eject Draymond in the 2022 finals. So unfair that an unhinged asshole couldn’t control himself!
Bro lmao
That’s an ejection in every other sport lol
CTE moment
I didn’t hear no bell
Your team is on a huge run, Max.
Why?
Not only that but I love how Strus had picked his pocket moments earlier. If anything Barnes should’ve been getting all pissy, Not Strus 😂
Aytons accidental elbow was a flagrant 2 btw
That’s got to be an ejection wtf
So headbutts are just flagrant 1s all of a sudden?
Fuckin weird lmao
Shouldn’t this be an ejection?
Yes
The Strus is Loose
Mr. Bonks Craniums
Mr. Bashes Coconuts
What a dipshit lmao
That should have been a flagrant 2
Okay you don’t need to loose the Strus THAT much, Max.
What fucking ever man clear as day headbutt he knew what he was doing.
Send him to the gulag
This should be an eject
Maybe he wanted to kiss scottie but missed cause strus is a dumb dumb
Bad move imo, needs to extend through his legs
Hit culture is back, baby!
It’s the Miami Heat gene in him
That Last Samurai ass haircut had him feeling the bushido spirit.
Fucking rigged shit that’s 100% a flagrant 2. Ayton got ejected for less with an arm to the head.
He’s such a POS
The definition of a bum.
The fuck is he doing
Gotta love how they just didn’t toss this pos after this. If anyone on the Raptors had headbutted anyone on the Cavs they’d have been executed by firing squad the way that game was being officiated.
Why
Just dumb. No explanation
I’ve never seen him do something like that before.
Strus has always been my least favorite Cav. I think I still hate him from his Heat days.
Like Allen hasn’t done that many times in this game and only has one foul? What a joke.
wouldn’t have been surprised if it was a 2 but glad it was only a 1
Dumb by Scottie
What?
Damn now I have to buy a Max Strus jersey
Weird
Guess you like head butting people?
Not necessarily just flagrant fouls in general
