... just in case you missed Pop. It is interesting that one ZaZa example he uses is ZaZa vs. David West last year.
I would hate to be reporter asking Pop questions -- often it is a no win.
I don't like those Olynyk comparisons. He may be an undercover goon too, but Olynyk is good at playing basketball, unlike him.
Oh,he is totally biased.I want to see what the player analysts have to say about this. I am sick of media types that know nothing a
Pop knows a lot.
Do you think he might have an agenda behind his comments though? Not exactly a neutral party here.
I am not saying Pachulia isn't dirty. Not making a judgement there. I am saying this was not a dirty play. The best word to describe it is careless.
Exactly, just because a guy has a reputation for being dirty, doesn't mean it was a dirty play. If the roles were reversed and the exact same thing happened to Pachulia, no one would be accusing Leonard of being dirty.
I'm not saying that Pachulia doesn't deserve the scrutiny because of his past transgressions, just that this did not look intentional.
I just don't think he had any chance of contesting that shot in any meaningful way especially with his giant ass retard shoes

Hes just a big guy with big feet who closed out on a shooter in the corner. It happens all the time in basketball. Not sure what there is to argue about here.
Just bad luck and timing for Leonard an the Spurs. I feel their pain being a Knicks/Bulls fans. They have suffered through 10x more injury pains than the Spurs have. ROFLMAO
Injuries cost the Bulls a few finals appearance (and probably a 'ship) over the past 7 years. Injuries to Rose may have cost the Knicks a good playoff run this year. Yea they may not have won it all but I think they would have made the East playoffs a bit interesting.
Pop's a bitch. This is the same guy that was constantly defending Bruce Bowen who made an art out of taking people out of the game.
I don't think it was intentional, either... however... I could see the league cracking down on that kind of negligent, lazy close out. There is clear potential to cause an injury with that kind of nonsense.
