[Highlight] Ausar Thompson pushes Sam Merrill from the neck area and then steps over him (with replays).
The Cavaliers fans chant ‘Throw him out’. Upon review, it was upgraded to a flagrant-1, so Ausar remains in the game.
Cavs definitely played harder after this lol
Like the Wemby flagrant it probably doesn’t happen if the officials call the first foul.
Holy moving screen.
Merrill’s moving screen is the trigger. Then Merrill pulled Thompson into him. Thompson tried to regain his balance and ends up hitting Merrill in the throat. Stupid flagrant. Merrill was smiling.
Don’t you dare try to hurt my GOAT
Bro straight pushed him lmfao what a joke
This kicked off a comeback run for the Cavs
Comeback run that led to them getting blown out, yeah right.
They showed an angle in the arena where his hand that he pushed with was on Sam’s throat when he pushed. Looked terrible, everyone was expecting the flagrant 2
Push in the chest, other hand on the shoulder. Should be foul on Merrill, foul on Thompson, tech on Thompson for the step-over.
Nah, Merrill foul first it’s already a dead ball, tech for push
I’m fine with a flagrant 1 even if I do think it should typically be a 2, but Wade and Candace hyping Ausar up for pretty Much choke slamming someone is fucking disgusting
Weak move by a weak offensive player. Only true offensive phenoms are allowed to do this.
