The war of words just continue between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As both teams prepare to play one another in Game 6 on Thursday night, one of the bigger storylines over the past few days is Andrew Bogut's knee injury.
Bogut suffered the injury in the second half of Game 5 while defending a J.R. Smith drive to the basket. The Warriors center ended up blocking the shot with Smith falling on his legs as both men were falling down.
Due to the injury, the 7-foot center will now miss the remainder of the NBA Finals. When asked if the collision was a basketball play, Bogut wasn't so sure. According to Diamond Leung of The Mercury News:
"I don't know he fell and all that, but tough for interpretation. I blocked his shot. Somehow he cannon-balled right into my shin with his shoulder. It was painful."
While Bogut wasn't sure it was a basketball play, Smith was quick to point out his take on the incident:
"I fell slow to the ground, and he went down. It's a basketball play. It's not like I'm out there trying to take his legs out."
