Brooks was trying to injure Damp-why no flagrant 2? Watch it again.
As they replayed the incident over and over, if you watch as both Damp and Brooks start to come back down, Brooks raised his right leg up under Damp's legs in an obvious attempt to trip him or make him fall awkwardly. I am convince he was deliberately trying to hurt Damp. This is the kind of thing that leads to torn ACLs. I think the way he raised his leg is what caused Damp to land so off balance and fall towards Brooks. Damp saw Brooks' leg come up under him, and that is what pi$$ed him off so much.
I think the Mavs should file a protest that Brooks was not ejected from the game.
Does anybody have a video of of the incident?
