At this point, no retaliation is NOT an option.

[Keepin' it real]

I know the Spurs are the class act of the NBA. But sometimes, the right thing to do is plainly obvious. This is one of those times.

It doesn't have to be in game 2. But before this series is over, the Spurs need to engage in some MEANINGFUL payback.

[Mal]

[marinoman]

Dedmon maybe bertans may do something but they won't play til we're down by 40 with Livingston as the best player on the court

[Cry Havoc]

What's stopping other teams with bad blood from doing this if there's no punishment from the NBA? Serious question. How many teams have a Scalabrine that they could use to take out a curry to win a series?

[UZER]

I think that was part of pops message. Not to preemptively strike in game two, but to lay down the nice guy act against these guys and suck up for yourself and your teammates because GS will run you over with a truck with no regard.

[FvckMavs]

If the league does nothing and Kerr/Brown keeps putting Zaza in like nothing happened, staring next game Curry/Durant will find nowhere to land after shooting 3s.

[tmtcsc]

I agree. Gotta fight back somehow.

[NASpurs]

This is how the Spurs are going to close out on Curry and Durant from now on:

Curry needs to be clothelined next time he goes to the rim. This series is over so the Spurs need to steal Golden State's title shot like they stole the Spurs' shot away.

I agree. Spurs players should flail their arms and flop at every moving screen. Draw attention to it, it's absolutely ridiculous and it doesn't get called.

If the Spurs actually managed to take one of their big 4 out, that would be pretty legendary.

[dbreiden83080]

Take that bitch Curry out..

[cd98]

If it's only a personal foul, why not?

[TheGreatYacht]

Best part is the player that does it doesn't have to worry about being fined or suspended, since the league won't even release a statement on Zaza's dirty play. They'd look like faggots if they only punished the Spurs

[$pursDynasty]

We will know something for sure if Joel Anthony is active :lol

Even if Pop ordered the spurs to injure them it would not be easy to do. A lot of these guys can take hard fouls and walk away with only a minor bruise. Unfortunately I don't know how to get back at these chodes and believe me I want to get back at them and their retarded fan base in the worst way.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

there needs to be some sort of payback. I miss the old days of putting the Suns in their place.

The NBA will do nothing because they are wetting their pants with a GS-CAVs final. This has always happened to the Spurs - they have taken at least 2 rings from the Spurs doing shit like this. Like when the Spurs played NO game 7 and the flight was a fuck up and they didn't want to change the date so the Spurs had to play the Lakers almost immediately. Just small things here and there that condition a series and they are small and subtle enough that no one says anything about.

Payback mother fuckers... payback and the sooner the better

[Nathan89]

Durant's their best player. Not Curry. Both should be taken out.

Curry is their most important player.

you get one of the subs who never plays and smack one of their players right in the nose when they come for a layup. Smack them hard so they have to wear a mask at least. Hip check is another option.

[TD 21]

Agreed, but don't hold your breath. The only one who might do something is Dedmon, but he might not play until garbage time (though Pop's patience is clearly wearing thin with Gasol), when their stars are obviously likely to be out. Even then, it would probably just be a hard foul.

[testies]

Interesting you should post that. I remember Lebron mentioning that Revenge of the Nerds is one of the movies he watched on one of his off days when the Cavs came back from the 3-1 deficit in the finals - might have even been before game 7. I also agree with Booger.

This tbh. The League is not gonna do shit after a known dirty player erased all by himself an MVP candidate from the Western Conference Finals.

Now is the time to do it. How could the nba say anything they won't even review the zaza play. I also think it's a way to get in their heads cause we know atleast curry, Thompson, and Durant are pussy bitches.

This is not a low, those fuckers did what they did out of nothing, it wasn´t a heated game where you could expect those kind of knee jerk plays, so you gotta go out there and let them know that they are not finishing this round without a few injured players themselves.

Exactly...they were down 25. Take your L and blame it on rust and come back. Instead, they take Spurs best player and act like they fought and clawed back in to game to win.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

The "retaliation" needs to come in the form of 48 minutes of defensive fury on the Spurs part. Great defense can negate the 4 horsemen and their offense.

I concur.

I would love for something to happen, but it feels unlikely. In the 80's some nasty shit would be going down tonight. Curry deserves to get hurt for this honestly. But the Warriors are likely just going to get away with this bullshit..

[dbreiden83080]

And how do we play that great 48 minutes of D, minus the best perimeter defender in the NBA? This is not the Rockets, so we are getting thumped tonight. Back for game 3 on Saturday with Leonard hopefully feeling pretty good, and maybe we get back in this thing..

:lol if they were trying to take out a Warriors' player, it has to be Curry, tbh..they barely lose anything without Dominos(top 3 player in the NBA, but still, they don't need him)..Curry is the guy that makes their system work, it's evident whenever he's suffering through a rough stretch..

I agree...

But while all this is true.. to me it's Curry that's a top 3 player and not KD..

I understand he can maybe do more with his size, defense and rebounding but it's hard to ignore the chaos that Curry brings to a defense..he's arguably the best or second best ball handler in the league and his passing and playmaking skills are underrated.

Plus lest not forget the HUGE insecurities KD has as a player..

Hope the Spurs are listening to this post game interview with Jerebko. Said they were showing too much respect (fear) to the opponent. Celtics finally said enough of that.

Similarly, Spurs need to man up, stop taking shit from GSW and start giving shit to them.
