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

[Black Adam]

Come on Bolts, quit crying. There is no way in hell you can say "for sure" that was a dirty play. Only crybaby fans will use this as an excuse on why the Spurs lost.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Popovich echoed pretty much exactly what I said. Going underneath a shooter like that is dirty. Especially the 2nd time he moved forward.

I trust Pop's opinion and agree there are certain guys you give the benefit of the doubt too. An there are certain guys you DONT give the benefit of the doubt too. PAC Julia fits in group 2. Scumbag


Cavs are now the leagues last hope against the tyranny of this collection of ball hunting, cheap shot givin, big mouthed bitches. The soul of the NBA is at stake. Let's hope The King can restore justice to the league

 

[gordontrue]

Flying under the radar due to the Kawhi injury were a couple of spectacularly illegal screens Zaza got away with yesterday. Bogut would've been proud.

I still expected the Warriors to win the series with Kawhi healthy(Spurs would have won game 1 though) so I'm not saying this is why they will win the series, but it went from a close matchup to maybe a sweep if Kawhi is not able to return. Dirty players can perform dirty plays without making them look intentional, and since Zaza is one I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Warriors goons >>> Cavs goons.

Facts.

And that's fine because we're all entitled to our opinions. Glad you can see that GS is capable of winning this series with or without Kawhi healthy though.

next we'll here about "tough guy" Wiggy going out to bitch-slap KD personally for joining the Dubs...

...quickly followed up by his medical report from I.C.U....

I dunno, but i'm thinking a cat with ZaZa's kinda mug just MIGHT be able to throw a soup bone or 2...

just sayin'...

I swear LeBron is immune to ankle sprains. I mean how many times have we seen him roll his ankle, re-tie his shoe and keep playing?

Now excuse me while I go find some wood to knock on.

I hate the Warriors but can acknowledge how good they are, you don't go 8-0 in the first 2 rounds winning by 15ppg by being lucky no matter who the competition is.

Fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion.

 

[Kold]

it's all subjective. Of course people who don't want GS to win or don't like the team for whatever reason will say there was intent to hurt Kawhi. And then there will be the other side of folks who can be objective and say that is a play that happens often in basketball. The problem is what makes it intentional vs not intentional?

Furthermore, I think if the league viewed it as an intentional play to hurt guys they would make that a flagrant of some sort rather than just a common foul.

Well, it's kind of a case where both sides aren't technically wrong, because the intent of the play could logically be argued either way

I agree. No way to know intent. If the league wants to get rid of this play, they'll have to impose a harsher penalty, regardless of intent. Like elbowing someone in the face. That's worthy of a flagrant, regardless of whether you meant to or not.

Like Pop said, "I don't give a damn about intent, you still go to jail for manslaughter"

David West is probably a legit top 5 or at least top 10 guy in the NBA that when he bumps into you, you apologize. Matt Barnes will shut shit down if need be too.

Haven't even gotten to Draymond who's leg kicks rival Chuck Norris.

 

[gordontrue]

Pop's angry reaction makes me feel like he was given some bad news today about Kawhi's health

Intent is always a slippery slope. The only real way to combat this is by putting a rule in place, similar to as you said a flagrant on elbowing. I thought actually D-West should have gotten a flagrant in yesterdays game when he elbowed Lee in the chops.

But the Warriors would be in favor of this too. Curry has this happen to him all the time on his shots. Guys run up under his feet. I don't think intent is ever there, but the way they close out on him is necessary because he's such a great shooter.
