The spurs have 1 weapon without Kawhi and that's Aldridge.

The Warriors absolutely crumbled under the pressure yesterday. You can say whatever you want about the comeback but it was totally fraudulent. If Kawhi stays in the game the Warriors lose by 15+ at home.

Klay was absolutely non-existent and has been the entire playoffs. It's obvious that he's the odd man out with Durant out there and he seems to have lost all of his confidence.

Everybody was talking about how great Javale has been but look who he was good against, a Portland team who didn't deserve to be in the playoffs with no big man and Utah for 1 game in garbage time.

Zaza is pathetic, he's a bumbling mess on the court and just isn't good at all. Anyone saying that Zaza and McGee make up for Bogut has no idea what they're talking about or is just a homer. You saw what LeBron and Kyrie did in the paint last year after he went down.

I'm much more confident about this year's finals than I was last year. Personally, I think the Cavs are going to win in 6. LeBron is absolutely unstoppable right now and the Warriors have no rim protection (of course the homers will cite some bogus leading the league in blocks stat with no regard to context).

Relish this win while you can Warriors fans because even though you won't admit it you've been incredibly lucky with injuries and the finals won't be all sunshine and rainbows. In the mean time please keep telling everyone how they're going to roll the Cavs in the finals LOL

They should put an * on their 14-15 championship (-Kyrie and Love)

Not sure why you are so upset. You guys should be celebrating today. ZaZa saved the Warriors and got them into the finals ! I know I am excited. Beating anyone other than GS just wouldn't be the same.

Warriors fans are all ruffled right now. They get all defensive at any perceived shot at the golden girls

Who says I'm upset? I think it's freaking comical the you guys can't fight the urge to mention the Cavs when this thread has absolutely nothing to do with them.

[jcardstore]

Kinda like how you guys mention the Warriors in every single thread?

Something about a Pot and Kettle fits here.

I can't speak for anyone else, I only chimed in when the Cavs were mentioned. What is really comical is how you are acting like Warrior fans don't do the same thing. Considering the Cavs will be playing the winner of this series in the finals though, I'd say this thread does have just a LITTLE bit to do with Cavs fans

This type of reckless play makes me sick and players that pull this crap need to be suspended. Enough is enough!

Spurs just gotta pull together and regroup. That's all they have left. Already down Parker and now Kawhi. People will defend Zaza and that's sad. That's sports though. He's a multiple offender. A habitual line stepper and for some reason always looks like he just got out a fight on a Rocky set. Spurs have a reason to question his intent is all I have to say.

[jcardstore]

Not worth arguing with you over so you can just report me again (you're not the only Warriors fan on the boards). Have a wonderful day

Amen Brother, me and you said it and no one wanted to listen.

[SacGWYNN19]

Clearly David Lee should be suspended for the next game.

Just stop

[pgisback]

Apparently Pop doesn't know the game as well as the Blowout all stars!!



Here's what Kobe thinks of the play that the Blowout all stars seem to think is just a normal basketball play that happens all the time, lol. And this was over 4 years ago.

“That’s a very, very dangerous play,” he said. “Especially if I’m fading away, there’s no rhyme or reason why I should come down on somebody’s foot.”

[raps2spurs]

Still annoyed with Zaza's bush league play but really Warriors fans it wasn't dirty and you wouldn't be complaining if the shoe was on the other foot? If that was game 1 against the Cavs you're up 20 in the second half Curry is playing like the best player and then someone like Shump undercuts him big time rolls his ankle is done for the game and possibly multiple games and you end up losing that game you wouldn't be complaining about a bush league play like that?

A garbage player just took out one of the few legit superstars in the league, a league that is starved of legit top tier talent and whether you're a Spurs fan or just a fan of the game in general we we're robbed at the very least of a competitive and entertaining series.

You guys are going way too far with this.
Did he not fall back and take KD's knees out with his big dome?
Not sure if he's that calculated...next someone will have claimed this was all a plot from the pre-season devised by Kerr.
Unless you know the intent, its idiotic to conclude that he did that with malice.
But I understand needing more fodder to feed the Warrior trolls.

What the hell are you watching? Kawhi stepped way off the court to stand on Lee's foot. Pretty stupid and unfortunate. Lee didn't have his big foot out on the court just waiting to be stepped on like a goof.

Opponents FG% - Warriors 1st, Spurs 4th, Cavs 16th

Opponents eFG% - Warriors 1st, Spurs 2nd, Cavs 18th
Blocked Shots - Warriors 1st, Spurs 2nd, Cavs 25th
Steals - Warriors 1st, Spurs 11th, Cavs 30th
Forced Turnovers - Warriors 1st, Spurs 12th, Cavs 28th

'Nuff said....

Regular season LeBron?
These stats literally mean nothing.

I hope you haven't already bought your GS are champions 2017 hat. I think you'll get your feelings hurt.

Take the blinders off and do some research. It's called a slide under and it's been outlawed by the league because it's dangerous and completely unnecessary.

How can you claim it's idiotic to think it was done with malice? He has a well known reputation for playing recklessly and having absolutely no regard for the well-being of his opponent.

I'm not saying the Warriors told him to do it. Zaza has more than a goon track record to show he does this kind of thing on his own accord. The guy double-stepped under Kawhi, that was a malicious close out but thanks for calling people idiots that are saying what Zaza did was not right. It being fully intentional doesn't matter here, what matters his he made a goon play that took out a superstar and marred what could've been the most entertaining series of the playoffs.

And I'm sure the tune wouldn't be different for some Warriors fan if it happened to their team and gutted their shot at a ring? Maybe you're so rational and unemotionally invested in your team that you wouldn't make a peep and shrug your shoulders but I doubt all the G-State fans defending the act by Zaza are as zen like as you.

The Warriors are super talented, I still don't think the Spurs win the series even if that didn't happen to Kawhi and win game 1 but I'm confident it would've been a close and competitive series if it didn't happen and that's why I'm upset that a hack like Zaza took out possibly the second best player in the league. Without Kawhi the series is a sweep instead of a 6 or possibly even 7 game series.

It's idiotic because no warrior could ever do anything wrong. If it was the other way around warriors fans would have already created a thread about how horrible and dirty he is. But yea, totally no bias or homerism

It kind of reminds me of when several Warrior fans jumped on the Delly is dirty Bandwagon.

Here's an example of how things get blown out of proportion. I say it's idiotic and you say I'm calling people idiots.

Sometimes I think some of you guys here are looking for a fight rather than a discussion.

Speaking of Delly, I got meet him the other day. What a great guy.

I remember fighting for his cause that he just plays tough. Funny how he's hardly had an incident since.

Za Za will continue to have incidents. He's dirty and GS need him to be.

Then do a better job of picking your words... You're the one trying to down play the play as nothing and trying to say whether it was dirty or getting into the intent of Zaza is idiotic when there's a track record to draw from when it comes to that goon, I think ignoring that is "idiotic."
