Some Flagrant Fouls Are More Flagrant Than Others

Last night we saw the Cleveland LeBrons destroy the Washington Wizards but during the game, we learned some flagrant fouls (I prefer Intentional Foul for some reason) are more flagrant than others.

Like so:

Now, perhaps an explanation is in order. Yes, LeBron got absolutely hammered by Brendan Haywood, but was it any less flagrant than Delonte West’s foul on Antonio Daniels? Should Haywood have been ejected? Reggie Miller didn’t seem to think so:

While that video is about two minutes long, Mr Knick Killer distinctly says Haywood’s foul should have been a Flagrant One. With that in mind, I have to ask — does the name on the back of your jersey determine the severity of a foul committed against you? Whatever the case, I think the one thing we can agree on is the Wizards need to shut up and play because this series is really, really close to getting away from them.
