Yup. There's levels to the shyt. Horford's holding on to Del's arm and gets away with it. So Del's like fukk it if there's no whistle, I'ma make damn sure Horford doesn't get the ball. So he makes sure he falls toward and on Horford's leg. Horford then retaliates to Del's retaliation and drops a very obvious Flair/HHH-esque knee drop on Del.
:mindblown:

No he didn't. He tripped over Carroll and couldn't regather his feet properly while Horford still had hold of his arm. He couldn't fall in any other direction. He didn't go out of his way to fall on Horford, he was going to fall in that direction whether he wanted to or not.

Gil Scott-Heroin is completely right. This video shows it clearly from every angle:

that last angle clearly shows him leaning to fall on Horford. I dont know how anyone can say otherwise. It's like Draymond's bullshyt screens where he drags people down. Except Della is trying to cut guys


He even fukking hops towards the end to get closer to Horford

He's leaning the entire time he's boxing out Horford. The second he starts falling (when he trips over Carroll), do you not see his body shift completely upright as he tries to maintain his balance? And his torso is completely upright when he hits Horford's legs too.

Please tell me how he was NOT supposed to fall once he came over Carroll, especially with Horford pulling on him.

:russ:

You mean when he gets his fukking feet under him while he's falling? You think he should just try to land on his tailbone on purpose or something?

dude, there is zero reason to leave your feet to fall safely. It doesnt even make sense.

That man ain't out there diving into people legs trying to take their knees & ankles. The shyt he did against Taj was some Dennis Rodman type shyt, Taj dumbass was the one who's reaction cost him an ejection. Kyle's injury wasn't intentional. That's what the fukk you suppose to do when its a loose ball situation, yo as better be hitting the floor. Tonight, thats all on Al. He pulled Delly down to the ground then tried to make it look like Delly was going for his knees by grabbing his knee after he threw the elbow. I don't know what the fukk yall be looking at.

Horford initiated the contact by locking his arm and dragging him to the side. Delly then lost his balance when they both went into Carroll (who was on the ground), causing him to fall on Horford's leg - NOT dive - but FALL onto his leg.

:manny:
I don't know how these fools can't see this or maybe they don't want to see.

The Gibson play was some hoe shyt. The other 2 hard to really say whether it was dirty or just that wreckless white boy hustle.

Ya that's what I think his problem is, he's just an awkward cac who doesn't know any better. When he dives for the lose ball he doesn't have the grace to avoid obstacles and flies face first into players knees. We saw later the same game he smashed his face into Teagues knee. I'm sure that was painful, i don't think he enjoyed it very much or did it on purpose.

Yeah it is like Draymond's shyt where he pulls people except Horford was the one doing the dragging :heh: In his head hes already thinking Della is dirty so then he gets mad when he lands on his knee, after he pulled him down in that direction while Della was already leaning that way to box out, and causing him to trip over Demarre. All this after an obvious over the back foul on Horford that went uncalled.

I agree with all of that. But to me its also clear that Delly is crafty enough to make the most out of the situation. He's being dragged, trips on Demarre's foot, but then pushes off with his right foot so he can maintain/make as much contact with Horford as possible. You know, to prevent Horford from getting the ball. I ain't even mad at that. If I was him, I'd do that too. What's he supposed to do, just let Horford get away with it.
