2/11/2018 4:04:35 PM

very good game on ESPN right now with Bill Walton commentating

2/15/2018 12:51:21 AM

Stephen A is right but what he isn't thinking about is that by taking Lebron James, GSW keep anyone else from assembling a team that is better than them. It might not make them better, but it takes the one guy who could be part of a better team off the table.

If not, Lebron could theoretically join a team like SAS HOU or OKC and beat the GSW.

Dennis Smith was robbed. Smith>>>>>>>Nance. Shit was rigged.

2/17/2018 10:06:01 PM

He should've come stronger with his first dunk

2/17/2018 10:23:06 PM

His first dunk was better than Nance's.

2/17/2018 10:27:09 PM

meh. gotta come stronger.

2/17/2018 10:34:10 PM

let's go back to discussing how great the Jazz are playing

is Joe Ingles the 2nd best Australian in the NBA?
will Donovan Mitchell win Rookie of the Year?
is this team better without Gordon Hayward?

2/17/2018 10:36:32 PM

1 sure
2. Yes
3. Lololol no

2/17/2018 10:58:20 PM

That was an entertaining last few minutes

Lebron can't defend, eh justin?

I said he had been a terrible defender so far this season, which was completely true and irrefutable.

2/18/2018 11:25:35 PM

And I probably sarcastically said he should give it 100% effort all 82 games

Even UJustWait was probably impressed by him tonight

nah. Westbrook needs to stop being a crybaby every time his team loses. Nice acting job though

2/27/2018 10:28:19 AM

yeah, Pachulia isn't a dirty player

2/27/2018 11:41:20 AM

LOL Zaza straight up faked a fall to land on Westbrook. I've seen better falls in WWE.

2/27/2018 12:45:49 PM

I'm sure it was just an 'accident'

2/27/2018 12:47:24 PM

Is that really a comparison? Barely pushing someone versus putting yourself in the position to create a severe injury?

2/27/2018 12:50:31 PM

Did you even watch the game and see it happen live? If you wanna go look at the replay of the "intentional" fall, you'd see the contact from Young causing his knee to buckle. And then you'd see the golden globe acting skills of Russ, who oddly enough seemed perfectly fine later in the game.

2/27/2018 12:54:13 PM

[Edited on February 27, 2018 at 1:00 PM. Reason : he even tries to land on his nuts. lol. Zaza, the next WWE star!]

2/27/2018 12:57:27 PM

^^ Yep...you're still the worst.

2/27/2018 1:03:23 PM

y'all do realize that last year KD's injury was because Zaza fell on him, right? RIGHT?

"causing his knee to buckle"

His left knee, the one that got hit, is already "buckled." So what's the next excuse?

It's intentional.

2/27/2018 1:11:40 PM

I know it might be hard for you all to accept, but the NBA saw the exact same film from multiple angles and decided not to punish him. Probably because intent is pretty difficult to prove.

If you want to call him a dirty player, go ahead. I don't really care. I'm guessing you thought he was dirty long ago, and this latest incident is just confirmation bias.

2/27/2018 2:21:15 PM

Quote :

"I'm guessing you thought he was dirty long ago"

Everybody has known he has been dirty for a long time...except for your fucking dumb ass. That's basically his role on this team...to be a fucking thug on a team full of princesses and one monster douchebag (Draymond...in case your blinders didn't allow you to see that one). Zaza is the guy who you don't care if he gets 6 fouls in 3 minutes as long as he ruffles some feather or breaks an ankle or two (hello Kawhi).

2/27/2018 2:52:11 PM

^^ this same NBA?




[Edited on February 27, 2018 at 3:19 PM. Reason : d]

2/27/2018 3:17:45 PM

^^ clearly not EVERYONE, because otherwise he would have probably been punished a long time ago by the NBA.

You're allowed to have whatever opinion of him you want. Just don't conflate opinions and facts, because they aren't the same thing. You're a lawyer, so you should know the difference.

LOLOLOL

2/27/2018 3:48:44 PM

^^ You're right, the whole league has a completely out-of-nowhere hate for Zaza. Whatever could he have done to deserve getting booed at Madison Square garden? It's probably because he is white, isn't it?

Only the Golden State fanbois (even most of my friends who like the Warriors admit he is a dirty bitch) have an accurate picture of him.

2/27/2018 4:42:14 PM

There's a pretty big difference between these three claims:

1. Zaza is a dirty player, so it's obvious he intentionally fell on Westbrook to hurt him
2. There's no real way to prove whether it was intentional or not, which is why the NBA didn't punish him- at least based on the video 'evidence' presented
3. Clearly, Zaza is 100% innocent and anyone who suggests otherwise is just a hater

Try to guess which one of these claims is the one I'm actually making.

worth noting: I continually bring up Westbrook whenever possible, because it's a huge trigger word in sports talk

Most bandwagon fans are.

Westbrook in the equation is irrelevant. Zaza changed the whole playoffs last year when he took Kawhi out in game 1 when they were getting destroyed by the Spurs. He is pretty much a worthless player except for the fact that he's a wildcard because you never know when he's going to take out an important player for an opposing team. He's Bill Laimbeer without the defense, rebounding, and average offense.

2/27/2018 7:00:43 PM

nothing shows basketball ignorance quite like caping up for Zaza Pachulia

2/27/2018 9:56:12 PM

Zaza out for blood again and did the same thing to Curry that he did to Kawhi.
