Intentionally hitting the injured hand on several shooting attempts is super shitty. It's intentionally trying to injure or re-injure someone. He's a joke (going after Lebron, not shaking hands after a playoff series, intentionally taking our Payton II on that layup attempt a few years ago, etc.).

oh i agree he is a shit person but fouling someone on their hand that has a injured hand isnt that grotesque. if you know a guy has a bad ankle you dont try to get up on him and make him think? a guy has a bruised rib or something you dont lower the boom on him a bit running through a pick?

It's loser behavior. "I know I'm not better than this player, so I'm going intentionally injure him again to gain an advantage."

Luckily, all this guy can do is lose. The sports world has a karmic reckoning that has been fair to Brooks.

The way the playoffs are officiated rewards less skilled players.

He’ll be reevaluated in one week so he’s expected to miss games 2, 3 and 4 at a minimum. If the Warriors can win one of those games and if Curry comes back strong for game 5 they could still win the series. Big if.

And of course this is sweet manna from heaven for the conspiracy theorists who also have a casual interest in the NBA.

I'm just glad the Jazz, Wizards, or Hornets didn't win the lottery.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Flagg end up as a Hornet.
