Can you link the Aldridge play you're talking about because if it is the one I've seen there's a pretty big difference considering Curry is jumping forward and Kawhi was fading away

Aldridge plants, turns around and then shuffles another foot or two towards Steph. It wasn't in the broadcast because they cut back to the action after he hit the shot. It's not as blatant as Zaza for sure.

If Steph had landed on LMA's foot and you put it in slow motion it would look just as bad. Watch the Zaza play in full speed - you would have to be really loving coordinated to actually do that in real time and Zaza is NOT that dude.


Everyone loving crowds shooters. Let's not pretend the Warriors are the only team that does it just because you don't like them.

curry being one of the few people who can shoot a ball off in the brief window before hes fully double teamed off a pnr on the wing means he has 2 dudes in his airspace on some number of jumpers. this is not anything remotely like a big closing out feet first vs a dude who is fading away unless you are fully shoved up your own rear end

Ah, so because Curry shoots fast it's fine if guys have feet underneath him?

It's not like I'm arguing Zaza is the innocent pure player. But that dude is not coordinated enough to perfectly slide a foot under Kawhi while looking the other direction in order to intentionally injure him.

So if you are just talking about dangerous plays (which is was, absolutely) then we have to talk about how that happens all the loving time. Or is Al Horford a super dirty player now too?

Reckless plays are still bad, even if he didn't have the requisite goon ideation of crumpling Leonard. He was still reckless.

what a retarded gotcha attempt. its not good or bad its a thing that happens cause of the nature of being doubled near the sideline and still taking a jumper dumbass.

taking a jumper in a crowd is a fundamentally different beast than fading away while moderately open and having a dude slide his feet underneath you. idk why this point flew so far over your head but i guess i can repeat it

The crazy thing is Warriors fans are going to bat over Zaza Pachulia of all people. Like I can at least understand if this is Draymond because he's one of your best players and maybe you really love what he does for your team. But it's loving Zaza Pachulia!

Warriors fans, some advice: embrace the heeling. Yeah Zaza cut under Kawhi, so what? It's a loving game, you do what you have to to get the win. It doesn't mean anything if you don't get a ring. His bitch rear end ankles should be stronger. Who the gently caress's the S&C coach for the Spurs anyway?

You should be posting like that because basketball is always better when there's a clear cut bad guy.

weird that Zaza is not coordinated enough to do this but he is coordinated enough to consistently set such wonderful "legal" screens.
Also, who cares how coordinated he is? A big oaf acting like an oaf and being reckless is just as bad. It's like saying Pyscho T isn't dirty because he's mentally disabled. It's true but it doesn't really matter.

Yes. All championship posting teams need the right mix. They need the loudmouth, they need the snarky stats guy, they need a guy that calls people fags, they need the quiet guy that tries to make people be friends, and they need one guy to emptyquote them, acting as a buff/debuff poster.
