Was that elbow unnecessary? Sure, it almost seemed intentional. Is it flagrant 2 worthy? No, it shouldn't be, but this the nba 😂
Naz been watching metta world peace highlights
Jesus Christ
The nba going have players in bubble wrap soon 😩
It's not Naz's problem that Johnny is in a bad position. He didn't intentionally tried to elbow Johnny's head
The NBA is soft today. The officiating is horrible.
It was that little grind at the end that got him.
Soft
What a sissified world we live in. That is a disgraceful call. What a joke this league has become
If Reid did not gave him that taunting look, it would have been just flagrant 1. But the intention was clear.
refs had money on the game
Absolutely soft. Ridiculous he got ejected over that.
Bad call folks. Flagrant 1 maybe.
Ridiculous call
Call was excessive, not foul. Naz just pushed a bit, not like a hit with bad intent. I don't want return to bad boys thug era, but league is way too soft now. Allow a bit of hard play.
I don't understand how they could ascertain he had malicious intent when he couldn't even see Davis' head until the last split second when he cranes his neck immediately after his elbow makes contact….
Nonsense. If they ejected players for this all the time, Draymond Green would never play.
refs are a joke
The refs had the under on raz Reid scoring
Yeah it was an intentional nudge to gain position, the opponent was just in a low position so it was to the neck area. This is what interpretation is all about, but refs are maintaining such a severe position when it comes to flagrants. I’m glad they’ve eased up in regular play over the last few weeks. Flagrants and techs gotta be cleaned up next. Nobody is coming to see refs officiate.
Ball don't lie
Naz Reid got extremely FRUSTRATED because he got BOXED OUT in a textbook manner by a smaller player and was DENIED a rebound, which hurt his stats and his ego. It's embarrassing to get blocked out by a shorter and smaller dude.
The Refs wanted to give the Wizards all the help they could endure.
