How many times were people diving on the floor last night? You mean to tell me he's the only one who can't avoid someone's lower extremities?

WTF! Explain this 4 me.
Lol, i mean... Horford and others make it sound as if when he or other NBA players dive for lose balls they watch out for people's legs and make sure not to get into any "dirty" situation. Well Dell doesn't have that ability, he just flies in for the lose ball with no fukks given. Whether it ends up hurting someone or not

That doesn't mean he's trying to hurt anyone. He just can't stop himself in milliseconds that it takes from hitting someone by accident
Once again, Horford and Reggie and Webber said that u have to watch out for people's legs. I understand that but like I said he doesn't purposely try to ram himself into someones leg. He just going for the ball.

At least that's what it looks like to me. The Gibson play was grimy tho. Otherwise it was all accidental imo. Obv don't know what's really going thru his head

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.
It's less a push and more him attempting to reestablish himself after stepping on Carroll's foot. He wouldn't have extended the right foot out, if his left leg didn't give away in the first place. He naturally extended it as that's what happens when you're in action of falling over.

The only thing I can see him doing is trying to keep Horford away from the ball, everything else was out of his control. Also it looks worse in slow motion, look at it in normal play and you'll see what I mean.

Dellavedova plays the way every player of his caliber and skill (or lack their of) plays. They play right there on the line between being reckless and being dirty because that's the only way they can contribute and remain in the league.
