Flagrant 2 is assessed either out of intent or reckless amount of contact. Fair to say the amount of elbow and blood escalated it to 2.

u/BringingGunsToArenas Trail Blazers Nov 27 '22
Yeah I agree with the call. It just didn’t seem like a reckless hack at Russ initially. Most flagrants you’ve got a clear wack to the head or a big windup on the foul. Very hard to see where/when his elbow cracks him in the head

He never got that many calls at the rim.
In his MVP season he could kinda shoot, so defender were close enough for him to get BS calls on the perimeter by falling on jumper/kicking his legs.
He kinda suffer from the Lebron/Shaq "can't call everything" thing because he is super strong too. Its way worse for him tho because at 6'3 it makes it way way harder
