Last year? The one where Curry hurt his ankle and knee?

Uptown wrote:And I agree with JVG...When defenders slide their foot under jump shooters, causing them to come down on the feet of the defenders should be called a flagrant foul. Those plays are dirty and intentional IMO...We are seeing more and more jump shooters rolling ankles....It can't be coincidence...

So true .. the officials are not flagging players for it either

Probably. The Warriors were basically a 2-man team. They got almost nothing from anyone else.

Kawhi leadership on both ends of the court were taking the entire Warriors rotation out their game ..
Yep! Kawhi are a NBA super-star!

The Spurs MVP star Kawhi Leonard were blowing the Warriors out their own building having a 23 pt lead early in 3rd Qtr. before Kawhi went down with an angle injury .... the thought of the Spurs winning the first game of the series inside GS arena wow! it kept crossing my mind at halftime .. AGGY it didnt go down

Warriors didn't win the Spurs lost this one after they lost Kwahi. Even without Parker the Spurs were basically coasting. But Aldridge didn't really step up. He loses the bball every other possession and commits turnovers half of them are unforced. Between him and Pau and Lee they can punish the Warriors inside, but it's not happening.

Spurs were without their star-players Parker n Kawhi playmaking style in the 2nd half of the game ..
Mills/Simmons/Murray are getting their first playoff experience with Pop

Zaza must have been studying Bruce Bowen.

I was thinking that exact thought. I assume you're remembering isiah the coach absolutely flipping out over that

It should be a flagrant. And team should retaliate like they do in baseball
