They were talking about a 2nd flagrant.I thought it was a flagrant but don't think it's a suspendable offence. Big difference. You watch 90's ball and that type of stuff happens all the time. Prefer it when there is a level of allowable contact, the NBA is way too soft these days.
The push in Game 3 was upgraded to a flagrant, and Jones was told to be careful. Hence the trip on Kobe was seen as suspendable as it was definitely on purpose, and a 2nd flagrant (if called).
Of course, by itself it is wasn't suspendable, that wasn't the point.
