Watch: Taj Gibson got ejected from game five for kicking Dellavedova

Taj Gibson mixed it up with Matthew Dellavedova and the result was Gibson getting assessed a flagrant two foul and being ejected from the game. The play started near the three point line with a hard screen where Gibson layed his shoulder in Dellavedova. Gibson then went over the top of Dellavedova on a rebound and the both went to the floor. As Gibson went to get up, Dellavedova appeared to lock Gibson’s leg and Gibson made a violent kicking motion to get out of it. The kick itself looked a lot more violent in regular speed than in replay….

What do you think, did the punishment fit the crime?
