God damn, I am sick of hearing about the Al Horford foul last night on TJ Ford being a dirty play. It was NOT a dirty play at all. Horford was going for the ball and Ford got a good step on Horford and was a little farther away after he switched to the left side than Horford expected so he attempted to get the ball or at least foul him once he realized he couldnt get ball just to at least make him hit some free throws instead of making a layup. He didnt close line Ford or try and whip him down to the floor. He simply got beat to the hole and missed ball got some face. If you have played bball enough you will know fouls like that happen here and there. Especially with the size difference between those 2, Ford is very small and any momentum from Horford on a foul is going to take Ford down to the floor pretty hard. I hope TJ Ford is ok, I like him a lot and he is a stud when healthy

Also I think it was kind of dirty even if he was a class act after the fact. He wasn't within five feet of the ball and NBA players have great body control. He slapped down on his head. I don't know I thought it was kind of dirty when I saw it. If they can change hands and reverse directions in mid-air, they can realize that they are not within ten feet of the ball and let the play go.
All over the place I have been hearing it. Last night at the bar when we all saw it up on the tv when espn showed it everyone was saying it was dirty and I was like the only one who said it wasnt, then this morning in my car listening to sports talk radio fans calling in saying it was a bullshit dirty foul.
definitely not dirty, didn't even look that HARD to me. But obviously TJ felt otherwise, hope he's alright.
Read some article where some Raptors claimed it was intentional...personally didn't think Al deserved to be ejected, but the really only important thing here is that TJ gets alright.
