    It looked to me like Leonard really re-injured his ankle when he stepped on a teammate's foot on the sideline. It rolled pretty good at that point. Zaza's contact later just made a bad situation worse. Do I think Pachulia intended to hurt Leonard in that play? No. Do I think he has a nasty habit of sliding into a player's landing space? Yup.



    Gosh, does that make me a whiny ass Blazer fan?

    Sliding into a players landing space, is intentionally trying to hurt someone.

    Zaza Pachulia played great defense on that play and was penalized for nothing. There was literally no contact on that play at all.

    Awesome. Now I'm convinced Trump needs to go too. And he didn't bring it up that time.

    You're telling me that Kawhi's foot isn't on Zaza's foot right here?

    That was a "Playoffs?!" / "They are who we thought they were!" level rant. Amazing stuff.

    I'm glad he went off about this. Kawhi took the high road and his coach had his back. Pop has some clout so I wonder if the league will issue a statement on the play.

    Another side note about all this, even if the Warriors win it all, their title will be plagued with another asterisk due to injuries. Just like when Love and Kyrie didn't play a couple years ago. So that makes me a little happy..haha

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Nah. The Lakers' title in 1988 doesn't have an asterisk due to Isiah Thomas' injury. The Pistons' title in 1989 doesn't have an asterisk due to Magic Johnson's and Byron Scott's injuries. The Cavaliers' title doesn't have an asterisk due to Curry's injury. As time goes on, the details never matter. Many championship teams could be discounted if you look for injuries in all the teams they played in the playoffs.

    I completely agree with you, but in the short term, it will be brought up. I'm just trying to hate on the Warriors, that's all.
