Refs are buns man. I need automated refs to be out here. No need for human error.

The way some official explained it on nbatv, it was legal for him to lose it and catch it, as it was just a loose ball. Never heard that before but whatever

Me scrolling through this thread reading all the Warrior haters posts that we're throwing a parade in the first half

Also, you have to be on another level of stupidity to honestly believe that Zaza with his back turned closing Kawhi out intentionally was able to have his left foot in perfect position for Kawhi to land on it

How was his back turned? Jalen Rose literally did the exact same thing to Kobe. 

 

[Peep Game]

Bunch of bandwagon a** fans in Oracle. Can't wait for them to move to SF, so most of them won't be able to go to the game.

Cot damn

dawg look at this

you saying with his back turned like he couldnt possibly have known where Kiwi was during the play 

 

[tekthemaestro]

question for those who play basketball: when you contest a shot on defense, do you make sure you give the shooter room to land?

personally, i do, but it may just be because I've rolled my ankles so much that i make sure i don't do it to someone else.

I'm a bigger guy and I'm conscious of it. For that reason I don't close out at 100% speed cuz there's no way I can stop on a dime. Zaza closed out to the best of his ability and couldn't stop.

People saying he reshuffled his feet as a bad thing. As if his 7ft frame was supposed to land after running, plant his feet, and tip over instead of stopping his momentum

Dudes talking about hoping Zaza catches a stray bullet on Twitter 



....and it's a NTer

@ em'

Your die-hard Cleveland fan 

a mod?

Yup

Of course

shameful

 

[MVP]

History is definitely a factor though. Zaza is a dirty player.

Of course, that $9k contract is for one reason and one reason only.

 

[thapointguy]

David Lee is a dirty player sitting there injuring Kawhi

 

[P C H]

Kawhi drove hard left, stepped back and Zaza, who was late tried to contest. That's not dirty.

Come on man theres a difference between Kawhi accidentally landing on his teammates foot on the bench and Zaza getting in his way fouling him leading him to get injured

 

[addict4sneakers]

Ehh I still think GSW was coming back

 

[darthska]

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

Oh man, YES.

The HUGE difference in how 'protected', star players are called, I feel like it's the most imbalanced in the NFL and NBA.

 

[rillo561]

Zaza definitely stepped in.

What gave you that impression?

heck, zaza would've been in foul trouble already, cause bron be flopping and pointing at the illegal screens
best believe the cavs are going to point that out before the series even starts

 

[WASHED KING]

I said it was unintentional but the more I look at it the more it looks like it was on purpose.

 

[darthska]

David Lee is a dirty player sitting there injuring Kawhi

Was he playing defense on Kiwi?

Had he been getting away with dirty things all game?

Does it benefit him to injure Kiwi?

No, no, and no. So the only similarity is that both of their feet went under Kiwi.

 

[monstar]

I stand corrected that play looked bad I thought he jumped to contest smh

Bad zaza smh

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Ironically, scumbag Bruce Bowen was notorious for doing this.
I'm sure we all remember.

 

[monstar]

Axonal Doyle is to tough to listen to

 

[D StaXX]

Zaza has a history of being dirty.

 

[danikerhino]

Oh man, YES.

LBJ would have been on the ground for 5 minutes with his head covered and would have had guts carry him out.
