2017 NBA Playoffs Thread - CLE @ BOS Game 5 on TNT

Some of the same dude's were saying the kobe play wasn't dirty tho [emoji]128064[/emoji]

YUP lol funny how easily people become hypocrites

 

[addict4sneakers]

NT doctors, which was worse? The bench ankle injury or zaza?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

It really looks like he just trying to close out to me. I don't know. And I love Kawhi. Foul but I don't see the dirty in that play.

 

[bballkid11]

Nope can't nobody tell me that wasn't Kerr making the calls. Once I saw Ian Clark finally in there I was like yup Mike has a speaker in his ear.

Yo, i told my brother same thing.

Clark in = Kerr

 

[dman14]

if zaza did that to Lebron, his *** would've been deported seconds after

FOH. That play was dirty as ****.
No way you let that slide.

 

[monstar]

This. Saw the play. Dirty as hell. He knew what he was doing.

Bra a big trying to gaurd a wing is gon be trouble regardless your in no mans land as a big all you can do is contest and he was late. Most times bigs won't even try to contest. Its basketball and things happen
You sound like a bitter spurs fan. Nobody brought up Lee tripping him on the bench he was clearly shot up before the game that ankle is a ticking time bomb this post season

San Antonio +21 in 24 mins. w/ Kawhi Leonard & -23 in 24 mins. without him.

Wow. If you cant beat em hurt em.

MANNNNN

Kawhi going down has nothing to do with this GS run.

All the things SAS did to get the lead in the beginning, the GSW are doing now. Drawing fouls, out rebounding and making 3's and driving to the basket.

Please be sarcasm.

 

[FreshLeeLA]

Not even interested in watching game 2 (or this series) without Kawhi.

The league needed this series to be competitive. Now the whole playoffs are trash.

 

[District of Columbia]

Was Iggy hurt too ? Why was Livingston out there so much in the 4th

 

[216c2a]

Don't matter if others do it too. A dirty play is a dirty play. It didn't help that Kawhi was already dealing with an injury.

 

[noblekane]

Unfortunately, retaliation has to be on the Spurs mind.

There's no way you let a dirty *** player purposely take out your guy and not give anything back.

If it's true they're saying Kawhi won't be back... I'd be surprised if the Warriors go into the finals with their big 4 intact.

umm did you forget about bruce bowen?

i doubt the spurs are looking for retaliation when they know a dirty player is an asset

 

[NickFolarin]

My guess is to guard Murray

Man I havent said anything about a Warrior not named Zaza Pachulia. I was commenting on all the dirty screens he was throwing and this. IDK how you sit there as someone who watches basketball on a regular basis and not see that as dirty.

Like admitting it was a dirty play isnt going to change the score of the game. 

anti, i got nothing but respect for your opinions but moving screens happen almost every single time a pick is set at this level of ball. illegal screens are like offensive holding in football. it happens too frequently that calling it would destroy any flow to a game.

as much as he would want to, i don't see pop condoning such behavior.

 

[P C H]

Zaza's play doesn't appear to be intentional to me. His screens all day were dirty though.

What happened? Mike Brown not knowing how to read the names on his team's roster happened

This is true, but he was leveling Patty Mills with the shoulder. Like really aggressively, I usually never say anything about moving screens but today was something else.

 

[bronconation24]

Warriors would have still won the series regardless. No one talking about spurs own bench ****ig his ankle up or pop leaving him in the game without checking on it. Foh.

Agreed finally some sense on NT lol.

It literally can happen to any gaurd who tries to take a center off the dribble and shoot over them I see it plenty of times guys just playing hard trying to defend and leave it Out there.


The only way that play is dirty is if zaza doesn't jump and slides his foot but he clearly tried to contest the shot and left his feet and even fouled on the shot

Trust, once the news hits he's done for the season someone will get them back.

Pop doesn't have to say a word.

Facts.

Now back to just waiting for the inevitable Cavs-Warriors series we knew we'd get the moment KD joined the W's, rendering the rest of the regular season and playoffs meaningless and making the entirety of the NBA season into literally just one best of 7 series between 2 teams.

It happens a lot but not at the frequency GS uses them. Every other screen Zaza set was moving, I don't think he hurt Kawhi on the closeout on purpose but he is dirty for the screens, but I thought Bogut, and Varejao was dirty for setting those screens too.
