Eruditor:


Please watch that thing again. Swaggy’s leg hooked Zazas and it was still entangled when they were on the ground. Meanwhile, RWs leg is what tripped Swaggy and Zaza needed to rest to get himself untangled.

Zaza’s reputation is preceding him here.
That man went down on purpose eruditor.

Don't play yourself. Recall the GOAT took a year and a half break.

Loool! Physical freak no be by muscles

I call him a physical freak because he has had very few mostly minor injuries throughout his career.

LeBron has never taken a year and a half break so...
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 8:15am On Feb 25, 2018
This play is another "debatable mistake" what the NBA should do is issue a warning to Zaza. He's clumsy which his subjective but being careless is a hazard to everyone. He obviously lacks awareness and I guess a warning would keep him on track. That way everybody wins.

Against the wizards Cavs were 8/35 from 3 and today 8/34. Can't win a game in the G league shooting like that.

Which is weird with certified snipers like Kyle Korver in the team. My question for Lue is why start JR and Tristan if you know they won't play when you are trying to chase a game

Coaching is definitely an issue but it seems Ty Lue is here for the long haul so no point moaning about him.

Officiating was a little off but it's okay, it happens sometimes.

But these stat lines man LOL. You can't make this s hit up.

JR 1-8
George 1-7
Cedi - 1-6
Hood 1-6
Korver 1-7

Larry Nance and Hood need to be starting for JR and TT though. But like I said. Coaching is definitely an issue.

You guys always get off to bad starts even if y'all are playing the barest of teams it's always a struggle.And the starting 5 plays a role with that. It's been a lot more pronounced with Love out..

All I see is a cluster! There really is no clear #2 guy. Truth be told you guys are lucky you are in the East. Out West y'all might not make the #8 seed

Zaza shouldn't even be defended here, this isn't the first and the last time he will be doing tricks like this. Everytime it is a mistake. I am a dallas fan, he played for us, he pulled the same antics.

His antics against leonard is keeping him away from playing the game he loves. What is wrong should be condemned, and zaza should be condemned on all fronts.

Here is actually a short video of him pulling dirty tricks.
https://twitter.com/GAMEWINING3/status/967605647083683840

How clumsy can you get?

Dirk Nowitzki is the clumsiest player in the league, you don't see him landing on people like that.


Firstly, his antics aren't what's keeping Kawhi out. That's an ankle injury in the playoffs I think. Kawhi developed a tendinopathy in his quads after that recovery.


That being said, Zaza's fall was extra. Yes, he got hooked but he knew where he's falling and went all through. This as well as most of his dirty plays seem inadvertent but NBA needs to come down on him. A warning or fine should stifle that guy.


And you won't win an argument about a Warriors player even if Zaza slapped WB. The fans will tell you he had Chorea. So, don't bother

Lue is a damn shame, and should be a college coach, he knows Spurs plays with their bigs and he stupidly let Green guard Aldridge, it's beyond me why he let Nance sit while Aldridge is killing the Cavs.

He knows Korver was a liability on the D but still left him, He sits hill th entire 4th Q, Sits Clarkson the 2nd nd 3rd Q, plays Korver when he's not making shot, aiye mi . I felt hr should have ended the game with LJ, Hill, Nance, Clarkson and Green cause as at the yesterday, that was probably their best defensive and offensive line up but Lue will always be Lue.

Yh..but in general,the team has been disappointing this season given the quality additions to the team sad...Just hopeful for the playoffs series.

Your team tho,positive turnaround since the trades but i think you're right about Lue..
Almost everyone here has been saying the same thing about Lue..If you guys can integrate Kevin Love back into the team,that should be a plus cos personally i feel he is unfairly treated.....

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:19am On Feb 27, 2018
If every superstar gets the calls James Harden gets, they'll have an added 8-10+ on their average if they can make their free throws. I watched Anthony Davis, LeBron, Kyrie, Curry, Derozan get shoved around all season long (no problem if refs didn't call a foul) but no one can even breath on Harden. Even when he initiate contact, locks his arm on yours, etc.. He just flails his arms for no fuckíng reason and get calls.. Players don't even seem to try stop him anymore cos he'll go to the line 1 million times.. MVP no doubt however, its unfair.

Calm your titties Uncle. How does this have anything to do with Zaza's epistle? I wrote this the day the Zaza stuff happened and said Zaza should be issued a warning before Decale mentioned it today. You obviously didn't read it cos you know how to think for every Warriors fans.

I don't how you think or comprehend things but anyways, as I said, the calls Harden gets are crazy if you disagree that's what you should say not make it a Curry discussion cos that's not the case I put up. And I'm open to see when players couldn't breathe on Curry. I guess opponents too couldn't breathe on other players on that list at one time too. LeBron's complaints are legit as well as other superstars who don't get equal treatments. That's the point i'm passing across. It's about calls not Curry and it's ok to flatout disagree take your advice and keep kawyet.

I am never bothered about him because in the playoffs the FT numbers shrink and the 3pt line is more defended. It is the issue they had against SAS last time out. In the regular season, they try to create every narrative to make it watchable because people generally do not care so much about the regular seasons any more.

I tried to watch the Jazz game for a bit and when the game was shifting away from Houston, the FTs started piling up. At some point, the commentators said the refs would need to balance it out a bit to make the game look fair. Rudy Robert was being gobsmacked by Harden and the refs were unlooking. Funny stuff.

It is on NL I heard first that Curry gets superstar treatment. Nobody raised any outrage that Russell shoved Swaggy P for shimmying. Russell has no history that precedes him. Oh the day Draymond does it...or Zaza. Humanright hacktivists would turn up. grin

You have won. Zaza broke Kawhi's leg.

LeMarcus Aldridge did not attempt to do same against KD the very next game nor was Steph ever treated that way numerous times during that particular series.

Zaza had eyes in his back to know the exact spot to stand for Kawhi's rolled ankle to rest on. Same Zaza that saw Russell's head and knee to rest his elbows on but aimed for his femur after lightly resting on it and getting up right after.

Condolences to OKC and Russell's family for losing their loved one by him being rested on by Zaza the killer.

I watched the Houston last 3 games. Any touch was a foul, the Nuggets game yesterday was worse. The players were frustrated they just left him to drive to the paint and do whatever he wants. Watching the Jazz game today was what made me write those up there. While typing, they commentator begged for fair calls. Make it fair. He's smart using this advantage consistently but other superstars don't even get half this luxury.. Let everyone get this breathing fouls called equally. I'm making a case for the other superstars who don't get normal calls let alone the ones Harden gets and these guys are trying to make it a "Warriors/Zaza" argument and it's like you're falling for their trap.
