Flagrant on chandler?

What was flagrant about it? He set a pick. A hard pick. But he did not throw elbows. He did not throw a bunch. He did not hit the guy in the head. He did nothing to warrant a flagrant. Nothing. I don't even see how it could be argued a flagrant. I am on the border about whether it is even a foul on chandler. He leaned into him. That is the only reason that it is even an offensive foul.

I hate to pile on, but I also disagree. That wasn't a pick, so much as a football block. He put his arms up and drove forward right before contact. Yes, in the 90's that's nothing more than a hard pick, but in today's NBA, that's a flagrant. Saying you're not sure it's even a foul shows a bit of bias, IMO. I don't know if you've seen the replay of that foul, but if you haven't, I could understand why you believe what you do. It didn't look that bad to me until I saw the replay. It was a football block on a guy who couldn't see it coming. If Chandler did that to a Jazz player, I'd want his *** tossed.
