Did you see that?
He got hit in the ribs and that could have easily off set his jumper at the line.

First of all, it's not called a jumper when you shoot a free throw. Both of your feet have to be on the line or its a violation and the free throw doesn't count.
And this is actually a good point too:
shooting a free throw takes considerably less effort than attempting a jump shot because of this. It's all upper body work and Parker should have been able to hit them unless his arm was broken, which I don't think Chalmers hit....................
Also this is freaking Tony Parker we are talking about, and the guy has taken just as many hard falls as someone like Dwyane Wade. The guy is a rock.

Charmers knew what he was doing when he elbowed him on purpose.

1. How do you know this?
2. Because you don't know what he was thinking, this isn't an objective statement.

I actually think this is very immature. Instead of giving me a lecture on "how you watch more basketball yada yada yada" (which really means nothing)
Why dont you explain to me with detail facts and evidence that proves that it was not since you "watch so much basketball"

Well actually you made the original claim that Chalmer's foul should be a flagrant 2 and he should be ejected for it, so it's actually up to you to prove that. I then said it was nothing close to a flagrant 2 and you've still yet to support that. At any rate an example of a flagrant 2 would be what Metta World Peace got for that elbow he threw at the head of James Harden many moons ago. What Chalmers did is not even in the same league as that. I'm absolutely not denying that it was a flagrant foul (1), but it was also absolutely not ejection worthy.

I did not like it because it was dirty/nasty and uncalled for.

Correct, but it wasn't ejection worthy, which is the important distinction here.

He did it out of frustration. He purposely elbowed him and it was a hard one.

Again, how do you know what Chalmers was doing?

Tony had to sit out the game after that.

No he didn't. Pop took him out for safety, but Parker was clearly fine and clearly wanted to get back in the game. Parker is a lot tougher than you're giving him. This is someone who attacks the basket time and time again and he gets really roughed up at times a la Dwyane Wade, but he gets up does it again and again.
