You know, don't you think Popovich is a little hypocritical criticizing Pachulia for getting up under Leonard when one of his guys, Bruce Bowen FAMOUSLY did this in the 2000s Title runs?  

 

 

"The league is just trying to cover its ass,” Popovich said. “I told Bruce, ‘You be Bruce Bowen. You’re the best (expletive) defender in this league. You will NOT change the way you play defense.’

“Stu Jackson is not going to change my team just because he thinks he’s doing the right thing.”

- Greg Popovic (2006)

It sucks Kawhi got hurt. Nobody wants to see that. 

But it's completely idiotic to even suggest it was a "dirty play" or Zaza meant to do it. 

It's basketball, both guys were competing for the ball. End of story. 

Kawhi missed the game vs. Houston & the Spurs blew them out without Kawhi. 

Staying healthy is part of the game. 

Pop is just beside himself because he thought theY could steal one.

Heard the Spurs were 362-0 under Pop when leading any game by 25 or more.

Pretty impressive comeback by the Warriors. 

Don't see how Spurs can win 4 of the next 5.

They know it. The W's know it. We know it  

However, I don't think the Spurs will lay down in game 3. With or without Kawhi.

Tough to win without your best player.  Kahwi is just as impactful as LeBron or Curry or Giannis or Harden or Westbrook. 

The Spurs might be able to rally and win one but this one is likely over 

Warriors up 3-0. Cavs up 2-0

2 Freight train$ on collision course.

Wonder which team the league wants to win it all? It seems it's Durants turn but L Bron Hubbard is kryptonite to Durant

Should make for a good finals matchup.  Except for Washington and Boston series (and maybe Milwaukee and Toronto) the playoffs have been awful. 

Bucks need one more player and I think they can give Cleveland a run.  They've been competitive against those guys as is but Milwaukee, not Washington or Toronto or even Boston, is in the best shape the next 3 years to try to unseat the Cavs in the East. 

Sign a guy like Kyle Lowry and I think Milwaukee can get there next year. 

The Bucks are more than one player away... they still lack 3 point shooting, and two of their core players are coming off serious injuries that cast some doubt on their long term effectiveness. 

Maybe that one player is a PG- but even if you add Lowry I don't think they challenge the Cavs unless the answers to all the questions (Parker and Middleton overcoming serious injuries to become All Stars, Maker becomes a true star) are a resounding yes.

But seriously as good as this matchup is on paper **** them both. 

It's the best yet worst of the NBA.  GS was really good without Durant and an OKC with him and Westbrook all but assured a really good conference final for the next 5 years.  That is until Durant put on a skirt and decided to take the path of least resistance.   I hope he never wins a title in Golden State.  

Yet I can't stand the Cavs either.  It's sort anticlimactic like the Cubs winning it all now their "real" fans come out of the woodwork and annoy the piss out of you even more.  Ugh. 

The Bucks need Maker to become Giannis part II and Parker becomes the bionic man to unseat these ****ers the right way.

Hope DASHED!!

Durant is a hero in Oakland. A lot of people, especially the kids in Oakland that look up to him, are glad he won.
