Zaza P, at it again trying to injure superstar players

[james evans]

Zaza being dirty isn't up for debate, of course he is, that's part of the reason he's still in the league..that doesn't change my point, fans are hypocrites..

Not only were no-talent, dirty players celebrated in past eras, but some of them like Charles Oakley are still viewed as iconic figures among old fans

guys like Laimbeer, Oakley, Mason, Bowen could shoot and score. Zaza does absolutley nothing but this bull and that's all he's known for. Karl Malone and Stockton were dirty. They were hall of famers. Tell me what Zaza adds to the Warriors or any team he's been on other than his dirty tactics

I'm all for physical play...when everyone is allowed to do it.

The issue is, in today's NBA, GS has two guys that routinely do this kind of blatant stuff and constantly away with it just because they have Warriors on their chest. At the same time, everyone else is playing within the modern physicality rules (outside of random one off instances), and they get punished accordingly.

I do agree someone needs to step up and call GS's bluff.

Comparing Pachulia to other players is stupid, these other players got suspended, no different when police sympathizers talk up black on black crime- the point isn't that he's the only one to do it, it's that he doesn't get punished for it. Zaza has a flagrant / suspension ratio that is ridiculous.

"If you need some energy, if you’re dead and you need energy and you need this kind of play, yeah, it’s part of the game," he continued. "I’ve done it before, and I might do it whenever we need to as a big guy. ... I’ll take it.
Pachulia told reporters afterward. "Officials called a foul; there's nothing you can do. A foul is a foul. If it was a hard foul, it was a hard foul. There is nothing you can do. So you just move on. If he got hurt, that's fine, too. It's part of the game."

Zaza said that a year ago about Westbrook.

I don't particularly mind Zaza getting away with that , so long as other teams do the same to them, and likewise without punishment, biggest problem is that punishment or not nobody retaliates against them

[Keepin' it real]

Cowturd not surprisingly defending Zsa Zsa today. Saying he's an enforcer ala Laimbeer.

I would love to hear him defend enforcers when someone does that to Steph and KD.

[dabom]

Yeah this guy honestly makes Bruce look clean, him trying to snap Kawhi's arm was the dirtiest I've ever seen.

I remember that . Could have been ing bad. Kawhi is just next level strength.

[8FOR!3]

Someone in the league needs to go at him. No place in the game for someone like him.

Nope, they need to go at Steph and KD. Eye for an eye.

[dbreiden83080]

It's up to the teams to do something about it. We did nothing last year and I don't know why? OKC has guys that could have done something and did NOT. When a team puts Curry flat on his ass, and makes it count. This clown will stop this ..

OKC in the game did nothing. Everyone on the team knew that Russ was pissed and nothing happened. Steven Adams weighs like 270 pounds. Forearm Curry hard as you can next time he is in the lane. Take a cheap shot of your own and make it count. This has to be policed by the players. The league does not care.

He sent a message to Beverly in playoffs last year with a hard ass screen. But it's funny as Kanter didnt do last year either when Zaza laid out Westbrook. Zaza's actions should mean open season on Curry & KD.

[BillMc]

Anyone remember how in the WCF Zaza himself mysteriously became injured after he took out Kawhi (I think games 3 and 4 in SA). Kerr knew he'd done his work and didn't even lest the Spurs have a chance to retaliate against that thug. In other words, GSW will protect this guy from the repercussions of his actions. Sad.

I hate Kobe, but I'll give him this. When Ron Artest and Andrew Bynum started thugging it up in 2011 playoffs against Dallas, and got themselves ejected for dirty play, Kobe looked genuinely embarrassed and said there was no place for that on the Lakers.

Curry, Durrant and Klay all look the other way from Zaza and to a lesser degree Draymond. They've never said a word and deny, deny, deny....

yeah and kristine leahy absolutely called out colin, saying he would be ripping zsa zsa if it was lebron that got landed on, instead of russ. so true.

[Chris]

Good

[cd98]

Zaza is a clown, but I'd believe he is that uncoordinated. Maybe it was intentional. SJ would take him out in his playing days, though he was quiet when Manu got cheapshoted by Shannon Brown and then he defended Brown after the game. I guess it depends on the player for SJ.

The only answer to their dirty play is retaliation. Somebody is going to have punched out Zaza,Draymond or some other Warrior. Only then the league will take action for their dirtiness.

No, take out a player that matters...Curry or Durant.

In the 90's NBA it would have been. Unfortunately I don't believe the current generation of players have that mentality and that's why the Warriors are allowed to get away with being dirty.

I agree with that.

[xellos88330]

Simple solution to this is tell him before the game that if he pulls any of that , Curry, Durant, Thompson or Green will get hurt. Not him, but his teammates. Let's see how quickly his teammates will start to call him out for that .

Punching? Not gonna injure anyone with a punch. Dive into steph and durant knees and ankles until one of them is hurt, when league / Warriors complain say you are clumsy and didn't mean it, that is how you deal with this. Still disappointed Spurs didn't do anything last year.

The problem is OKC and Steven Adams knows they can't afford to lose Steven Adams. Wouldn't mind to see a Nick Collison type guy put in to take a shot though.

[dbestpro]

I actually think the bigs should hammer the little guys. What's the purpose of being big if you can't play big.

Captain Jack the enforcer

“He dirty. He’s lucky he’s in the league at the right time. He would have gotten knocked out four or five times for the stuff he’s done … He definitely would’ve gotten taken out. I remember with Pop used to put me in games to go take hard fouls on certain guys. I would’ve taken more than a foul on him that game. I wish I was on OKC the other night because I definitely would have slapped him.”
