He would not have allowed Houston to beat the GSW... Much less would've had to even intervene... the Rockets were too gimmicky and would have faltered without any further 'adjustment'...
Look I realize it's probably not the case... operative meaning of the phrasing "could also be part"... it's just completely bewildering how the league chooses to stay mum when Zaza's thuggery was blatantly obvious... Kawhi on a fadeaway is what makes it obvious... Bewildering situations allow for the irrational - which in my mind includes agendas that the league has already set a precedent for. Long shot factor? yes. Completely implausible? No...
