There’s hope for Danny Shelton and Cameron Erving according to PFF’s NFL draft re-grade
April 22, 2016Big three lead the way to 3-0: Cavs-Pistons, Behind the Box Score
April 22, 2016As Cavaliers fans are all-too-aware from Kevin Love’s injury against the Boston Celtics in last year’s version, the NBA Playoffs can get pretty physical. Some of that’s to be expected and certainly LeBron James had a bit of an extra-curricular shoulder block in Game 2, but things might be starting to come unhinged in Detroit as the Cavaliers and Pistons battle during Game 3. As Matthew Dellavedova drove the lane, LeBron James trailed through the lane where Andre Drummond popped him shoulder and subsequently in the neck with his elbow.
Here’s what it looked like.
We’ll see what happens, but it wouldn’t shock me if Drummond was assessed a flagrant at some point after the contest. He looked like he was trying to get him in the shoulder, but the NBA doesn’t look too kindly on contact to the head or neck, regardless of the intent.
There’s precedent for that post-facto flagrant ruling as the league assessed one to Draymond Green for this mugging against the Houston Rockets in a loss.

Yeah, I think he meant to knock him off course with a bump to the shoulder, but it’s still a flagrant foul and probably a fine. You can’t just give a guy a high forearm shiver like that. Obviously the officials just didn’t see it or I’m sure it would have been called.
Dirty team + dirty franchise history + dirty coach = someone is going to get hurt, sooner or later.
The NBA is in anarchy, and things will get worse unless the league regains some control.
This is ridiculous. The Warriors series is too.
I’m loving it – playoff basketball in the East.
I’ll say the same thing I said last season, the Cavs have a chance against the West if the refs call it like they call the Eastern Conference. If it’s a hand-check and out type of game, the Cavs can’t win. They need to be allowed to be physical.
(But that Drummond play is a dirty one. He should get some retribution).
