Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Larry Brown | Last updated 5/9/22

The NBA playoffs have been filled with flagrant fouls, ejections and complaints about “code” violations. Charles Barkley thinks that’s all weak.

Speaking on TNT Sunday, Barkley offered a zinger about the flagrant foul calls. He was particularly set off by the calls in the Memphis Grizzlies-Golden State Warriors series.

“Every call … let’s see if it’s a flagrant. Let’s see if it’s flagrant 1, flagrant 2…I’ve been kissed harder than that,” Barkley said.

"Every call, let's see if it's a flagrant…I've been kissed harder than that."

There have been ejections in every game of the Warriors-Grizzlies series so far. Draymond Green was tossed early in Game 1, Dillon Brooks was ejected quickly from Game 2 and then Kyle Anderson was ejected from Game 3.
