Warriors report to NBA on Rondo's 'dangerous play' swiping at Curry's ankle

[daslicer]

NEW ORLEANS -- The Warriors, from ownership all the way down to interns, tend to be protective of Stephen Curry. Understanding his value to the team and the franchise, they tend to take action when someone goes after him.

Such as what happened Friday night, when Pelicans guard Rajon Rondo made an attempt to injure Curry on a play less than three minutes into the first quarter.

Less than three minutes into Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Curry went up for a jump shot that missed. Trailing the play after being screened by JaVale McGee, Rondo came up behind Curry and used his right foot to swipe at his left ankle as he came down after the shot.

"It's just a dangerous play," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Saturday after practice. "It's a dangerous play."

After viewing video of the play, the Warriors were bothered enough to report it the NBA discipline chief Kiki Vandeweghe, who was at Smoothie King Center for Game 3. Not that they expect Rondo to face any actual discipline from the league.

"We'll probably send it in and... it's not going to do anything," Kerr said, "but hopefully they just keep an eye out for it."

Did he quit on the Spurs though?

I like Rondo now

Funny how Kerr didn't mention how Draymond put Davis in a figure four leg lock in game 2 and how Curry blatantly tripped AD in the same game. Not to mention the ridiculously FT advantage for the Warriors.

:lol

the nerve...

:lol Let's review. The Warriors tampered with Iguodala and Durbeta. They've spent years fielding some of the dirtiest players (Bogut, Draymond, Zaza) and biggest floppers (Steph, Draymond) in the league. They get every call and every no-call. And they're STILL whining about the officiating? Embarrassing.

this is where the "their team wouldn't have worked 20 years ago" argument holds valid. 20 years ago the other players would have gone out of their way to put them on their ass for the shit they pull. The fact that nobody has yet, is just sad.

I agree. To me they are bunch of dogs who are all bark and no bite. They can diss it out but can't take it. This is evident by how Rondo the smallest guy on the court is punking them.

That's patented playbook of scoundrels. Multiple times I've seen Hillary give speeches on the foul play of her enemy for 10-20 minutes; and she is literally naming the bad things she's done in every instance.

Green hit Ladyboy Davis in the face - no call, nor did his teammates retaliate, nor did the TV guys follow up on it.
Imagine if it were the other way around, feck, there'd be a congressional investigation.

LOL, today's NBA

[DMC]

The whining here is deafening.

Spurs couldn't field a decent team in the playoffs because their all star had a sore pussy and was too mentally incapacitated and led around by the nose to even travel with the team.

Shame

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Where was stupid Kerr when Zaza injured Kawhi? Oh yes.. he was out in the hospital..

Agreed and one of the reasons I'm glad I haven't watched the Warriors after the first round. My blood pressure rises when Draymond cheapshots somebody and nobody retaliates.
