    Literally all sports teams do that. Remember Tony Allen slapping Manus broken arm the whole series? Not a word was said about it bc it’s par for the course. Bad back? Shove them. Bruised ribs? Elbow them. Hurt hand? Slap it. When the did you start watching basketball? Bc it certainly couldn’t have been in the 80s, 90s, or 00s.
    he definitely became a Spurs fan after 2014. Typical bandwagoner that has no clue about the Spurs doing the same thing he complains about years prior.

    Houston's offence is still , but they figured out a way to play super big with 2 centers and Warriors don't have enough shooting and juice to punish them. Having to play with Draymond, Payton and Butler for long stretches allows it. Rockets are all over Steph but back off 10 feet from the others.

    It's a clear display of how important shooting and spacing is in today's NBA.
    Having 2 bigs on the floor is becoming a thing again.

    OKC (Harts, Chet) and Cleveland (Allen, Mobley) are prime examples of that trend

    Only if the second big is a good three point shooter and can guard on the perimeter. There are very few players like that, so I don't see 2 true bigs being a thing. Houston gets away with it because Warriors play 2 or 3 non-shooters at all times, they won't be able to do it against Minnesota.

    The same way I disliked the Spurs getting shafted because of the Zaza incident, and appreciated the NBA enforcing better rules as a result, I also dislike to see any star player being taken out of a series because of their opponents intentionally injuring them. What the is so crazy about this concept?

    Your point is ridiculous; do you want to go down a list of behaviors that were considered acceptable in the 80's but aren't nowadays? We have sure learned a lot as a society (some, at least). I don't find condoning inexcusable behavior because "that's the way it's always been" to be good enough. Do you, tbh? Would you wish we applied that thinking to things outside basketball, as well?

    It's pathetic and bush-league behavior regardless of who and when is doing it. Actively trying to injure an opponent to eliminate them as compe ion is such pussy-ass behavior that I have to believe you've never competed in anything meaningful sports-related, because otherwise all I'm telling you would be obvious to you.
    Bruce Bowen didn’t play in the 80s bro. And in fact he has his number in the rafters doing that pussy-ass behavior that you’re so against. Why don’t you go write him a ing letter saying how he never participated in a compe ive meaningful sports-related compe ion and how you are the end all be all when it comes to sports behavior. And since the Spurs retired his ing number that means the entire franchise was totally ok with that type of behavior. So get off your high ing horse and stop ing and moaning. You think when I played basketball I wasn’t pushed and slapped and hit in the ribs and elbowed every time I went for a layup? And that was just high school. So did I play meaningful? Nope not really. But to act like this hasn’t been going on and blowing a fuse about it now is ridiculously stupid.

    Nobody is trying to “injure” Curry. But if his finger is in discomfort when he shoots, well guess what that’s good for us. Nobody was diving under his ankles trying to injure him like Zaza so why even bring that up? And what kind of bull was the whole, how would you like it if we applied it to outside of basketball? . This is a ing basketball forum. We are talking about basketball on a literal basketball forum. And how would doing that outside of basketball even work? Like I hurt my toe and my colleagues are going to try and step on it? What a stupid point.

    Yep agreed

    they need to be mobile and have some skills too.

    OKC and Cavs also have elite perimeter players

    Two bigs haven't worked for the Spurs primarily because Vic needs an inhuman amount of space to operate and things get clogged up for him with another big. Even if that big can pull people out

    I want the Nuggets to win, but they are dumb enough to rely on Westbrook so can't say I expect much

    I actually prefer that the Clippers are getting rolled, even with a healthy Leonard.

    They can't even use "Well if Kawhi was HEALTHY" for this one.

    Clips gonna Clip.

    This is one of the worst meltdowns ever. They can't string two possessions together without an awful mistake.

    The bubble was their best shot and they lost to this same team no less
