Series Thread: WCF: Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs

[Ojb81]

The dude could have pulled out a gun and shot Kawahi in the face.
Kawahi would not have said a word.

He is literally the last person that would call it dirty. He is hardwired to be a super introvert.
He is so terrified of public speaking. He said it wasn't dirty so he wouldn't have to speak again.

The last thing he wants is to be asked questions about it and make it a big deal.
He is clinically shy to the point of maybe needing some psychiatric treatment to deal with other people.

it wasn't dirty, numbnuts. get over it.

What Green meant to say right there: "Zaza isn't as dirty a player as myself."

I dont listen to anything that guy says. He is borderline retarded lol

 

[Bolts]

I'm starting to understand more and more why @Bolts does not plan on watching the finals if it is the Warriors vs Cavs

There will be great players involved and probably have some good-great games in the series, but I don't have enough interest in watching that matchup again especially with the Warriors adding an MVP to their team. Besides the Warriors being the Kings' norcal "rivals", I just can't stand the team in general. Draymond kicking people low, Zaza hurting Kawhi today, the total cockiness of the team led by guys like Green and Thompson. I'm not denying how good to team is, but I can't stand watching them most of the time. Any hope of them being knocked out by the Spurs left when Kawhi went down again, really sucks.

Also, watch Pachulia's reaction after the play.

I realize that every player argues every call nowadays, but Pachulia did not think he fouled Leonard at all. If the contact were intentional, he would not have reacted that boisterously. Unless, that is that Pachulia is just that good of an actor. I doubt that.

He does that every single play like Draymond.

Now, SHE is dirty.

 

[msgkings322]

Does it though? Curry is fouled, held, pushed a lot & those are INTENTIONAL fouls. Clearly Pachulua wasn't trying to hurt him. If he was it would've meant he would've had to strategically place his foot under Kawhi & we saw he never looked back at Kawhi after the shot goes up.

I agree I'm just saying, are you at all surprised by the immediate reaction?

And I agree Curry gets fouled and no calls way too much for a superstar

Actually I was surprised. Maybe I shouldn't be though because it seems people want the Warriors to lose because of the addition of KD.
I just hate the implication of them not being able to win even though they are technically the best team in the league.

 

[Bolts]

There's definitely interpretation on if it was a dirty play - from both sides.

The fans booing about that call....

 

[WiggyRuss]

that was a FUCKED UP play by Pachulia

watch that--- he moves forward- and then moves forward AGAIN for no apparent reason to get under a shooter--- the contest was over and moves forward AGAIN?.....what a scumbag.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It's hard to like the warriors. I know people will give me negative ratings, but here goes. I really don't get why a team with a bunch of pretty boys who shoot 3s all game gets so much hype.

All curry does is shoot 3's, although he is very very good at them. Thompson has the word "douchebag" written all over his face, he just seems like the kind of guy who laughs at people for being poor or sick while he drives off in his luxury car. Draymond green is a jack ass who spends more time yelling at the ref than playing the damn game, and Kevin Durant is a talented player who sold out for a ring. He couldn't handle the pressure and responsibility of being the main guy in Oklahoma. He destroyed what they were building there to be the #4 guy in Oakland. Pachulia is just a waste of space in general. I'm pulling for the Cavs now. The Spurs will probably get swept unceremoniously and we will all be subjected to articles about the warriors greatness. I'm not saying we would've won the series, but I can't help but wonder how things would've gone with a healthy Tony Parker and Leonard. I'd say a 6 or 7 game series for sure.

I said it before the series but if Kawhi wasnt 100% healthy I see GS in 5, if he is Spurs in 7. Well when they were up 20+ when he was in and he goes out they lose the lead it kind of says it all. Through the Warriors great seasons the last couple years they have been lucky enough to avoid the Spurs every single year, they finally play them and their best player goes out on an unnecessary play. A play that should have never happened. There is no reason to close out a shooter after he has released the ball. If Kawhi isnt 100% healthy the rest of the series it is like the Cavs without Lebron, well basically.

Great example is post # 503. No offense but it's my opinion.

Well, let's be honest, they were gonna lose this game until that happened. Probably not the series but still.

 

[Shanemansj13]

kawhi seems like a great guy so I'm not sure if I should believe him or not. Doesn't seem like a guy who will ever complain about anything to the public.

Kawhi is coached under Pop, he wouldnt make excuses if a punch knocked him out of the series.

i didnt see it in realtime--- was driving home from my brothers.

just watched it- NO reason after his initial closeout why he had to keep moving forward- and then moved forward EVEN MORE -- RIGHT underneath a shooter.

thats why you sign no talent goons like Pachulia though.

And I said they might have lost this game...but it wasn't game 7. So they get back at it in game 2.

"He didn't mean to punch me"

The fans booing about that call....

Of course they are going to boo. Zero contact up top, Kawhi landed on his foot. It is definitely a foul, but every home crowd in the league boos that call during a playoff game. The fans aren't exactly objective.

Look, I hate 90s style basketball, but everyone calling this play dirty needs to go watch some clips of Laimbeer for some proper perspective.

Seems you NEVER see things in real time but ALWAYS have a comment as if you did.

I don't say this much but we actually see eye to eye on this. As I said earlier it is the 2nd time he moves forward where I have an issue. The first time he does it is a natural basketball move while contesting the shot. The 2nd one just made no sense
