Zaza stepped under Kawhi on purpose

[CurrencyChase]

Except they squandered a 22-pt lead (with Kawhi) in their last matchup against the Warriors - Spurs open up 22-point lead but fall to Warriors, 110-98. This is why stats like that are silly. 25 points is such an arbitrary number, that it doesn't take into account the games they lost when leading by 20-24 points. Coming back from 22 points down without Durant, and Kawhi playing, shows that the Warriors have the ability to erase a deficit that big against this SA squad. Regardless if Kawhi is playing or not.

Regular season Spurs and playoff spurs are not the same team.

So it didn't matter he tweeked his ankle on David Lee's foot? It didn't matter that Pop should have taken him out of the game for a few?

If that was the first game of his life it r wouldn't

Zaxa planned his foot and that would hurt anyone

 

[philmonroe]

You seriously believe warriors would come back if Kawhi didn't get hurt? Come on man. He was their best player on both ends and warriors still barely won playing some young players from the bench. I understand having faith in your team but you are crossing to the deep end.

I need you cats to honestly read before asking these silly questions. I've already posted about your question fam. I don't know if they would've came back but since they came back before on this same exact team earlier this year I can't say they wouldn't. Again shyt ain't hard fam. Y'all nikkas on the other side can't say for sure they would've won either so I don't get the point of nikkas asking the same question over and over. I'm not a Warriors fan fam so try some other bogus angle

Lost respect for Pop on this. He was complicit in Bowen doing this EXACT same thing and even worse for a decade and he didn't care then. fukk him.

Hella Warrior fans copping please this morning on talk radio lol. Zaza is clumsy, dude not bright enough, fell on KD, etc lol.

Since when do you to be a mastermind to hurt another player, lol

Look I been said these playoffs need to get chippy, but ain't nobody trying to see Curry, KD and LeBron going down like Kawhi.

Nevermind just the contact on the foul, zaza reaction after the whistle was what really showed his bad intentions too. You supposed to act shocked after you learn they called it on you.

Also if you watch close you'll see Zaza stuck out his foot until it made contact with Leonard's leg in mid air. Premeditated follow through after the contest was over already.



Finally, hope the clutz breaks Curry's shyts next so you know, force the rest of media and fans to go after him lol.

well no kawhi game 2 means warriors going up 2-0 its over

 

[Zyne]

When I first saw the replay it looked dirty. But watching it in real time I would have never noticed Also Aldridge did the exact same thing guarding Curry so maybe the second step is just a natural thing on a close out

Problem with this is that Curry is moving forward during the jump while LMA steps in to try and contest the shot. Kawhi was FADING AWAY from zaza and he still managed to get his foot under him. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Before all this happened, for some reason I thought the Warriors would do this to Lebron if they met in the Finals next month Lebron better watch himself out there. Clearly, Zaza did that on purpose. They were down 22 at that point then all of a sudden go on a run when the Spurs best player was out of the game!!! Cheap. Piece of team in the Warriors

I have never, ever found a reason to do a two-step slide/shuffle with my foot out after the jump shooter was already in the air. I can't imagine how it would even occur to me.

I've never had anyone do it to me. I've never seen anyone else do it. I've seen guys run into the shooter. Jump into the shooter. But I ain't never seen no one shuffle their lead foot forward twice under the shooter after the shooter had already jumped.

It's like Draymond's goddamn high kick. That shyt don't make no sense unless you developed the move to hurt someone.

Problem with this is that Curry is moving forward during the jump while LMA steps in to try and contest the shot. Kawhi was FADING AWAY from zaza and he still managed to get his foot under him. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Yeah, that comparison was bullshyt. Aldridge stopped when Curry rose to shoot, and the only reason Curry even comes close to Aldridge's foot is because he was going forward. Coming forward Curry could see exactly where his feet were, and fell to either avoid it or try to draw the foul.

Zaza shuffled that foot forward TWICE more after Kawhi was in the air, so that even though Kawhi was fading back, he STILL kept going to get his foot under him. And since Kawhi's motion was backwards and the foot was well under him, he didn't have a chance in hell of seeing where the foot was or where he was going to land.
