Yeah..okay...lol

I'm sure the commish...and the board of governors would disagree, honestly.

I get what Kerr is doing. He's hoping to turn it into calls.

Attacking an injury has been a thing in sports ever since the first player tried to play through an injury.

If a player has a sprained right ankle...you attack the injury by trying to force him to move to the right on defense and force him to his right on offense. If it's an injured hand, you try to force him to use that hand as much as possible, if you happen to make contact with...oh well.

I don't see them changing any rules over this as illegal contact would still result in a foul.

I do agree with these points.

That remains to be seen.

Trouble is, there are some refs who become a bit myopic on certain calls & non calls alike.

But if it gets any of the officiating crew's attention moving forward, then as an end result it's still a win win.
I mean it's not like Kerr has been out there demagoguing it ....he's just mentioning it in hopes it eventually gets looked at.

Like I said before, Kerr knows best…he played in the 90’s. I get his strategy, trying to protect his superstar but whining about the rules bc of one special instance is overboard. Kerr has always been a whiney guy though

If the rockets want to have even the slightest chance of extending this series, they need to find Barkley and have him give a warriors guarantee pick.
