"Steph Curry leads historic comeback down 25 points to win"

No mention of Kawhi's injury. Fuck the Warriors

Still think the Spurs have a great chance. If Leonard doesn't get hurt they probably win that game going away.

Hopefully Zaza is suspending for a few games as it definitely seems like he shifted his foot into the path to where Kawhi landed intentionally.

Warriors always get lucky playing against injury depleted teams.

Nauseating how lucky the Warriors are with injuries to their opponents.

He absolutely did it on purpose. These are professional athletes...they know where their feet are without looking.

Assuming the Cavs get back to the Finals, if that's the Warriors team the Cavs have to face, I like the Cavs in 5 or 6 games. #notimpressed

Spurs defense is a lot more disciplined than the Cavs. Don't let that game fool you, the Warriors are not going to be an easy out for the Cavs.

On Twitter today, I saw this interesting stat. This is GSW's 11th playoff series in the last 3 yrs, and in 9 of them an opposing team had at least 1 injured star.

Funny how the bitch boy Warrior fans always bring up the 'we'd have back-to-back titles if Draymond hadn't gotten suspended." Like a Cavs fan saying "we'd have back-to-back titles if Kyrie hadn't gone down and Love hadn't gotten Olynyk'd." Selective memory, GSW's "fans."

They (especially the media) also always casually forget that Love missed a game in the finals as well.

Pop just went off on Zaza. Good for him. It was a ridiculous closeout, and I'm 99% confident it was dirty.

Agreed 100%.

Zaza needs to be suspended for the rest of the series.

Agreed so terrible.

Here is a link for anyone who wants to watch Pop's comments https://twitter.com/JabariJYoung/status/864173794897743872

Won't happen. Although I believe (even though I think his politic beliefs are total dog shit) Pop has too much class to do this, I wouldn't lose any sleep if a certain mouth guard chewing, possum grinning runt got a knee or an ankle taken out in Game 2.

My somewhat novice buddy texted me asking if it was dirty last night. I told him if you've ever played ball, you know how hard t is to actually get your foot there. It's very difficult to do, so when you say it was by accident, I frankly don't believe you. That type of play takes concentration. Your feet don't just go from a natural spot on a closeout/challenge/defense to 2-3 feet closer to the opponent/landing zone. That shit pisses me off and it's intentional. Throw in his history...

yup.

I've never seen that in basketball even in garbage pickup leagues. It would be one thing if Kawhi stuck his legs out and landed on Zaza but that didn't happen.

The league needs to take action.

It's probably one of those things that dirty, cheap players do frequently. Close out on shots and stick their foot out a lot further than needed hoping the shooters feet come down on them.

They will give him a game IF they even do anything.
