NBA: More -made dodgy close-out?

[Venti Quattro]

Zaza in Game 1 vs Kawhi?

or

LMA in Game 2 vs KD?

[313]

When did the LMA close out happen? I turned off the game at half

[JohnnyMax]

Aldridge

[Robz4000]

Didn't see the LMA closeout. What happened?

[Bynumite]

This still manages to act soft even when he's trying to play dirty

Spurs went from having the twin towers to the softie towers.

Seriously, Lamarsha, washed up Pau and Lee gotta be the softest frontcourt in NBA history.

[313]

Sketchy, but KD's momentum is still going towards LMA

[ElNono]

this got LMA can't even do that right...

It probably is... good enough to be top 4 in the NBA....

today's NBA

Sketchy, but KD's momentum is still going towards LMA

Lasoft was standing up straight, not like he lost his balance or something, looking directly at Durant while taking an unnecessary extra step forward.

Bottom line, Lasoft is completely useless

He even looks like a pussy when he's trying to be a tough guy/dirty player

LMA because he was too much of a to finish the job, tbh

Exactly. We need a real warrior like Bruce Bowen or Vontaze Burfict. Maybe Dedmon can do it right? Take out both Curry and Durbeta in the first quarter of game 3 please

[baseline bum]

Softridge being a dumbass. Curry is the one to target.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i dunno, but it seems like the ass fans will be looking very closely at games trying to see if spurs players are going to sweep the leg...

what gotry fans...

I saw this during the highlights. It honestly looks as if he kind of wants to do it but is hesitant and then later on the other end of the court you can see him actually apologizing to Durant.

Zaza came further under Kawhi, and managed to land underneath him even though Kawhi was fading away.

Durant fades forward on this shot. He comes up behind the three-point line, but his forward foot lands in front of it.

Still a ty and dangerous move by LMA, but Zaza's was worse, and not just because Kawhi actually got hurt by it.

At least he has the decency to apologize on what is admittedly a dangerous play. Zaza just turned and started crying to the ref about the foul call after the obvious contact.

butthurt steeler fan?

It's more about where the shooters feet are when they takeoff as opposed to where they land. They can takeoff and land a foot or more closer to the basket. Kawhi was well inside the 3 point line when he took off, but Pachulia slid so far underneath, his foot was outside the 3 point line

[unleashbaynes]

OP is right. Kick Aldridge off the team!

[resistanze]

Zaza's was clearly worse, considering Kawhi left his feet inside the 3pt line, and Zaza still slid under him when he landed outside the 3pt line. LMA is a pussy though.

[monosylab1k]

If Lamarcus had committed and rolled KD's ankle he'd be the hero the NBA deserves. Unfortunately he pussed out big time.

Before the series is over there has to be some kind of retaliation for what Zaza did. Like when Carlisle sent Najera out there specifically to clothesline Manu. Spurs will be the giest team in the league if they just do nothing.
