Spurs up by 25, Kawhi get hurt and leaves, Spurs lose by 2

Zaza fouled Kiwi leading to him reinjuring his ankle. Spurs had a huge lead before that after that the lost complete control of the game



 

NBA thread currently in shambles debating if it was a dirty play or not

Damn was following on my phone at dinner, wondered why Kawhi stopped going off

no idea how that's dirty

and i hate the ******* warriors

 

[Armada]

Yeah I have my opinions on the play (I think Zaza foul's him and moves back in his way when intentionally when he didn't need to but I don't think he was going "im gonna try to injure him")

But some of the stuff being said in their reminds me why I don't frequent that thread during certain games

got to have some eyes behind his back to slide his foot perfectly under his foot

Pretty known dirty trick.. slide under the jump shooter so you remove their ability to land cleanly.. the shooter is thinking more about you and landing than the shot

still cant tell if Zaza did intentionally tbh

but that move in general is infamous for being dirty though so I cant blame anyone feeling it is

Clearly you don't hoop.

 

[spacedoodoo]

it's an unwritten rule in basketball to usually give the shooter space to land.

Yup.. can still jump out on the shooter without throwing your foot up under them while they're in the air

 

[651akathepaul]

It doesn't really seem intended, but yeah, regardless, undercutting a jump shooter is not cool. I've seen worse though and wouldn't outwardly call that specific play by Zaza dirty.

 

[D StaXX]

That's def dirty man. IDC what anyone says.
The play itself + Zaza's history = dirty. You have to give a guy space to land.
He knew what he was doing.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Gotcha about the unwritten rules and known dirty tricks.

Still seems like a stretch but I get it when y'all frame it like that.

 

[651akathepaul]

I think something "dirty" is something done with intent. Usually, a players reputation falls under that category. So, if Zaza is like that on the regular, I can see calling it dirty.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Basketball talk in the NFL thread :x

Macbk would be ashamed of this defilement

He probably sippin on mai tais at Miami doe

Edit: I see he's back

 

[Armada]

As someone who watched Zaza play a ton when he was with my Hawks I can admit he was a pretty dirty player at times

 

[IATT]

Zaza who is over 6'10 never jumps to legit try and contest the shot..

He could have easily closed out on the shooter without sliding his feet like he's a damn fencer, which results in his left foot directly under kawhi

 

[D StaXX]

Same when he was with Dallas. If it were a guy like KAT or someone, I'd say it was a basketball play.
Zaza doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.
