I think a player has more motive to hurt a player's feet versus their face: if a player's face gets cut, the player can still play. They can wear a mask and continue playing.

A hurt knee or ankle is more obtrusive and very often take players out.

In addition, a player's foot is easier to take out than a face: a face can be at any height, a foot has to always return to floor height. I'm more suspicious of Giannis than Harris. Giannis has to know Kyrie's feet are below Kyrie who's currently in the air: Kyrie's feet are going to come down.

Show me some examples of when Giannis has ever attempted to hurt another player during the course of play in the past. Anything. The closest you can find is when he clocked Mike Dunleavy Jr.

You're so convinced that someone who has no history of dirty play suddenly decided to commit such an act on another player whom he couldn't see, and if he could predict where the player would land, would have figured he'd land anywhere except where Irving actually did.

You're entitled to your opinion, but the refs disagreed with you at the time that it happened, otherwise Giannis would  have gotten a Tech-2 and thrown out of the game. The league officials disagreed with you after the game, otherwise Giannis would be fined and suspended. Eighteen-year veteran, coach of the opposing team, and guy who knows all too well what it's like to be on the bad end of some dirty play, Steve Nash, doesn't agree with you. If the Nets thought it was dirty, best believe they would have campaigned to have Giannis out of there.

"a face can be at any height, a foot has to always return to floor height."

Lol, OK...

Yes, a face can be at any height. So can a foot, which is constantly in motion when you play basketball, which usually involves a great deal of running and jumping. A face has to return to however high it is normally off the ground as well, because that's how physics and human anatomy work. Lol at "floor height"...

"I'm more suspicious of Giannis than Harris. Giannis has to know Kyrie's feet are below Kyrie who's currently in the air: Kyrie's feet are going to come down."

You're right; I will give you that. Giannis had to know, or at least make an educated assumption that Kyrie's feet are below Kyrie. I've never once witnessed Kyrie's feet being above Kyrie while in the air, but I am open to correction if there is proof of it out there.

I don't understand why you're so passionate about this. I don't really care too much and even if I cared 100%, there's nothing I can do to alter reality.

Maybe Giannis did it on purpose or not, we'll never truly know. Only Giannis knows and like you said, officials have made their decisions.
