2017 NBA Western Conference Finals: Spurs vs Warriors

[Biggems]

ZaZa has a history of playing dirty with Kawhi. I do believe in giving players the benefit of a doubt but ZaZa wore out that benefit when he was a Mav.

I know he has played dirty before, and I kniw draymond is a scumbag......but IMO, it was not a dirty play.......ZaZa looked like an awkward giraffe running away from a predator out there......

Now i will say the officiating sucked. This is the WCF, and they were blowing the whistles for so much minimal contact. I feel both teams were called for way too many fouls.

I did have real issue with a few calls. In the first, they called an offensive foul on Aldridge, but it should have been a foul on draymond. The goaltending on Green was a bad call, and took away a Kawhi putback. In the 2nd half, Durant drove, no one touched him, but they called a foul and he got FTs. Now, we did get away with an 8 second violation on the Aldridge fast break layup.

I'm hoping this game gets reviewed and those wack calls come out of the ref's check. The ref's in the NBA are suspect, IMO. Warriors championship bought and paid for by whoever's money they will take.

Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out for today's game 2 of the WCF.

Pop has what? 5 titles in 15 years.... not too shabby!

First title won was in 1999 and the last in 2014 so yeah, not too shabby.

Looking back... I would take 5 in 15 instead of... 3 in last 25 years..... grrrr

 

[BigD16]

After 2014 everything else is gravy. Now if only the Cowboys and the USMNT could get with the program haha

BAHAHAHA!!!

The crybaby's back in action. Did we pay off the refs to smack you in the mouth for all 48 minutes tonight too???

Oh, and you can't even play the pathetic holier-than-thou card anymore. Here's LaMarcus Aldridge trying to pull the Bruce Bowen move, AGAIN.



Now let's see if we get another rant from Popovich about how dirty this play was. Just kidding, he condones it when it's Bruce Bowen or one of his guys.

Durant shot the ball behind the 3 point line and landed on it. If he'd jump straight up and land where he launched he wouldn't be landing on other players feet. Kawhi jumped straight up and then Zaza got his feet underneath Kawhi. It's a dirty play... maybe not intentional but dirty none the less. Bruce Bowen has been retired for 8 yrs so what he did back then has nothing to do with this series.

The question is, will the Cavs and Warriors both be undefeated in the playoffs when they meet each other in the Finals? I say yes.

Yeah, and Aldridge's late and unnatural sliding of his foot to make sure Durant landed PRECISELY on top of it wasn't intentional. Right. This was even more obviously deliberate than Zaza's.

Bowen may have nothing to do with the series, but he has everything to do with why all non-Spurs fans are laughing at Popovich and calling him a hypocrite. Spurs fans are hypocrites too, apparently.

Are you not capable of using your own eyes to view the video that you posted and see that Durant jump forward? Use the 3 point line as a gauge of who did what... Durant jumped forward about 2 feet. Aldridge took about an 8 inch step toward Durrant but it would have been nowhere near Durant's feet if he did jump forward. Zaza moved under Kawhi who jumped straight up. These two incidents couldn't be more different.

LOL and why did Aldridge slide his foot forward at the last possible moment, without any prior momentum in that direction, and in a completely unnatural manner? The ball had already been released!

Notice how Aldridge slides his foot to just beyond the 3-point line, which is right around where Durant jumped off from.

Purely coincidental, right? And even more coincidental that Durant landed PRECISELY on top of his foot, right? Bruce Bowen would be proud.

2-0 lead, I want the sweep.

Are you not capable of seeing that Durant shot the ball behind the 3 point line and jump forward toward Aldridge? It doesn't matter what Aldridge did when Durant is jumping toward him. It's not the same thing that Zaza did to Kawhi. You see it, you just don't want to admit it.

LOL! You're blind as a bat or you've never touched a basketball in your life.

Nobody shifts their foot forward like Aldridge did naturally on a closeout. Completely deliberate and obvious to anyone with a brain.

You are all caught up in what Aldridge did when it don't even matter because your boy KD jumped over the line. You want to equate what LA did to that dirty Zaza move. No, it's completely different. Kawhi jumped straight up and came straight back down where he jumped and Zaza got under him. KD jumped forward toward LA so LA had no chance to get out of KD's way. These are two different things. Do you like Gangsta Music? ... that ain't this, and this ain't that.

LOL let's forget Durant for a moment.

Aldridge's unnatural movement... any explanation for that?

LOL let's forget Durant? Do you mean when he jumped from behind the 3 point line and landed at least 2 feet forward? NO, we can't forget that even for one second. You are clearly unable to see this objectively. Your own video disputes your claims so why are we debating this? We can agree to disagree, can't we? Aldridge's half step ended on top of the 3 point line, which would be clear for KD to land safely if he doesn't jump forward but because KD jumped toward LaMarcus he put himself in danger of landed on a foot.
