Pachulia is dirty

[Spurtacular]

Of course, this is not new info.

[Thomas82]

He'll eventually get what's coming to him.

[Splits]

Should have got the ASG start over Kawhi.

[davidbowie]

bruce bowen wannabe

[SPURt]

Seriously, what an asshole

[jag]

I hope he gets cancer at some point in his life and dies a painful death. And I hope his kids are born retarded and look like he does

[SpursforSix]

My bad. You already started this thread.

[testies]

Piece of shit

[lefty]

Bowen was worse

[urunobili]

Even the telecasters on TV saw the extra movement of his foot to get down there...

[Spurtacular]

I hope he gets cancer at some point in his life and dies a painful death. And I hope his kids are born retarded and look like he does

But before that, he needs to be suspended for the rest of the series.

[DMX7]

Bowen was worse

Hate to say it but yes.

[Spurtacular]

Pachulia tried to get under Kawhi the first time; and then when he faded, he went under him on another slide.

[HI-FI]

But before that, he needs to be suspended for the rest of the series.
There has to be some retribution.

Such fucking bs. Twinkball is being dirty as shit. Hope Kawhi is alright.

[Keepin' it real]

I think he broke Kawhi's ankle. Bitch.

Thats some 80's style dirty shit.

[SpursforSix]

Sucks when a dirty player can potentially change a series like that.

[dbreiden83080]

Somebody take that bitch Curry out. Don't let them win a title off this sorry ass shit. Let the Cavs steamroll them minus Curry..

[Spurtacular]

Such fucking bs. Twinkball is being dirty as shit. Hope Kawhi is alright.

NBA has to protect its star players. Pachulia is a known dirty player and that play speaks for itself. If they don't suspend him for the series they send a message that this is okay.

[Dverde]

Let's try that double stomp on their players. Too bad Pop has too much class.

[urunobili]

As if the impact of the suspension to Pachulia would do anything to ge impact of Leonard being out

[DeRozan m8]

Wouldn't be surprised if Zaza gets shot one day tbh

[davidbowie]

he needs to be banned from the league tbh

[cd98]

It wouldnt, but it would take their only "skilled" big man out for a game. That could help Gasol/LMA.

[cjw]

These refs...

[Keepin' it real]

Pop gonna go off on Pachu in the postgame.

[Budkin]

The motherfucker literally just cost us a title with that stunt.

[UZER]

The motherfucker literally just cost us a title with that stunt.

And the ESPN execs are cheering their asses off.

[Spurs da champs]

Dude tried to break Kawhis arm last year to.

[noles1983]

I want the spurs to step under their jump shots all game 2, fuck them

[gambit1990]

i brought this up in the game thread... warriors win the series... if zaza does what he did one more time.

[Spurtacular]

Dude tried to break Kawhis arm last year to.

I knew it was something like that; but I couldn't quite remember, or I would have put that in the OP. Given the established history, he should be suspended for the rest the series.

Dude, he targeted that arm for like 10 seconds. His history must be figured when discipline is considered. If he gets a weak one game suspension, the NBA will send a message that this is a valid strategy to win a series.

[myhc]

God dammit I can't believe I'm going to root for Lebron but this is one the most hateable teams of all time.

[baseline bum]

Pachulia will be suspended for Game 2, but who the fuck cares? There is no way Kawhi is playing Game 2 after walking off like that. If not for that dirty play the Spurs win today and Golden State probably still takes the series in six, but that game was stolen from the Spurs. I'm fine with them losing because Curry, Durant, Thompson, and Green are amazing players, because they have a quality bench with guys like Iguodala, Clark, and Livingston, because they have a great system with one of the truly elite coaches in Kerr, but to lose because some fucking talentless hack intentionally took out the Spurs top player when he was having one of the best games of his career just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

[Mugen]

I'm not sure what little shithole Zaza is originally from but it should be nuked back to the stone age tbh....

[phxspurfan]

Kinds reminds me of the D.A. injury back in like 2001.

[cd98]

Punching that dude in the face would be an improvement.

[spurtech09]

No doubt

[Spurtacular]

Exactly. The entire series was nuked with that shit. If the NBA doesn't seek equity, they validate this shit. Even suspending him for the series wouldn't be a trade-off the Spurs would want. But that's about as good as they could get.

[Spurtacular]

If not for that dirty play the Spurs win today and Golden State probably still takes the series in six, but that game was stolen from the Spurs.

Disagree. Winning Game 1 in the Warriors building would've put the Spurs in the driver's seat against these chuckers. Fuck Pachulia.

[TD 21]

It's time for the Spurs to stop trying to be classy (more bullshit fawning on Green and West from Pop today) and fucking lose their shit. I don't give a shit about a 1-2 game suspension to this useless plug. I want to see him trashed publicly and deliberate attempts made to injure one of their disgraceful stars. Game 2 should be a massacre, so throw Anthony in and have him do the deed.

[baseline bum]

Kinds reminds me of the D.A. injury back in like 2001.

DA was a bitch who didn't matter. Kawhi is the franchise. This reminds me more of the Duncan injury in 2000, other than Tim's injury not being pre-meditated.

[Spurtacular]

Throw Anthony in and have him do the deed.

The deed needs to be taking out Curry, not Pachulia. Spurs need to get equity. Not saying I agree with the eye for an eye shit. But if you're gonna do it, do it right.

Golden state would have lost this series if Kawhi injury didn't happen. The Spurs getting that 25 point lead was no fluke considering they had done it before against the Warrior the past 3 other times they played them this year. I saw panic and fear all over the Warriors faces prior to the Kawhi injury. They looked helpless a lot like the Spurs did in '01 when Kobe and Shaq went off in game 1 in SA. Just imagine if the Spurs had some scrub like Samaki injured Kobe in that game how much different that series turns out for the Spurs. Instead of getting swept by the lakers they would have swept the Lakers. Pachulia costs the Spurs a championship today. This is going to be a bitter pill to swallow.

[Mr. Body]

Zaza Pachulia was the most important signing of the off-season. Saved the Warriors' season for them.

Worst part is...The day they signed him, that uneasy feeling in your stomach was there...and here we are 8 months later.

Fail fail FAIL. You saw last years demons resurface today before Leonard got hurt. You are giving the Warriors too much respect when they have proven very little in the postseason against healthy elite teams. They are a mentally fragile team that struggles when they have to deal with real playoff adversity. The only way they are beating the Cavs 4 times is if the Cavs have injuries. They have yet to beat a healthy elite team in a playoff series yet. The Spurs had the team to do it, but Leonard's injury eliminated all that hope today. The Spurs did everything right except avoiding injuries which is what the Warriors rely on the most.

I know. I said, "one of their disgraceful stars" and I exclude the most overrated player in the league (Thompson) from that.

Honestly, great move by Zaza....earned his contract....

Lot of overreactions I'm seeing on this sub, I guess I have to be the voice of reason and say that it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if his kids great up without a father tbh....

[gambit1990]

when ray allen landed on bowen's foot i honestly thought it was accidental. maybe i was young and naive.

[Down Under]

That's gotta be a suspension IMO. He took that extra step underneath his foot so late, it wasn't even in the shooting motion - the ball had been released from his hands.

[TampaDude]

Based on the first half, I think the Cavs can beat the Dubs.

this, every single jump shot.

If Kawhi can't go in Game 2 the Spurs need to step under Curry every time he shoots and hope they can fuck his ankles like they were 4-5 years ago. I wouldn't even bother with Durant since LeBron owns him so badly.

Boggles my mind that the fans in that arena reacted to the call by booing even AFTER seeing the video replay. It's clear as day he took that extra step right into Kawhis' landing space. Guaranteed if one of our players did that to Curry or Klay and knocked them out of the game, they would be calling for blood. Fucking gutless.

:lol Subtle.

:lol Subtle.

It's always Spurs used as examples. I remember way back in the 90s, the league wants to crack down on traveling and sent around a video using Sean Elliott as the example. In a league with Michael Jordan, they were trying to crack down on Elliotts travels. :lol


Also today on the broadcast, when Kawhi got fouled going up, again they complained about the swing through move when Hardens entire mvp campaign was based on that move and there was nary a peep all year.

[duncan2k5]

I was hoping pop put in Dedmon to fuck someone up

[therealtruth]

He was pretty much at out of bounds. I wonder where he expected Kawhi to land.

[daslicer]

I was hoping pop put in Dedmon to fuck someone up

Doubt Dedmon would do it since he played on the warriors for a few games back in '13-'14 and was in their training camp. He has some friendships with some of these guys. I saw him hug and shake hands of a few of the warrior players including Draymond after the Spurs lost to them in SA this year.

[rude1_79]

The 2 guys on NBA TV post game show basically called the Zaza play intentional.

Lebron would have his way with the Warriors. The first half showed me that the warriors have no rim protector when Kawhi was getting whatever he wanted in the paint with dunks.

[jbspurs]

Let's try that double stomp on their players. Too bad Pop has too much class.


I think only Dedmon have the balls to do this and it will be hard for him to do it from the bench.. We should do 80's type of basketball, hardnose, payback ...

[TampaDude]

Lebron would have his way with the Warriors. The first half showed me that the warriors have no rim protector when Kawhi was getting whatever he wanted in the paint with dunks.

Yup. And when the Dubs clog the lane, LeBron just kicks it out to Kyrie, Love, etc. for a wide open 3.

Cavs in 6.

Book it.

[Russ]

The funny thing is at the game everyone was outraged that ZaZa got called for any foul at all.

You couldn't see that "foot fault" by Pachulia unless you were looking for it on a TV replay with the right view.

In fact, the replay that that GS showed the fans was from the opposite sideline and emphasized the lack of contact by ZaZa. They played it over and over whipped the crowd into a frenzy.

I didn't realize there was any issue of ZaZa sticking his foot under Kawhi until after the game.

[clambake]

the more i see it, it looks less and less intentional.


poor guy is just clumsy.

you guys should apologize.
