It's showtime -- let the (NBA) games begin!

I'd argue that Draymond is very familiar with what a dirty player looks like, so if anyone should be able to call dirty players out, it is him.

Draymond doesn't get to call anyone dirty.

Olynyk in his career has 3 technicals and 0 flagrant fouls. Players may not like him but his record isn't that one of a dirty player. Draymond got 3 flagarant fouls last postseason and got 6 technicals one short of an automatic suspension in the playoffs. His dirty play got him suspended in the Finals that guy should shut up.

He is a dirty player.

Draymond is simply a dirty and emotional idiot. He makes zero attempt to hide how dirty he is.

And saying Olynyk is a dirty player doesn't mean he's on the same level as Draymond. But Olynyk is the sneaky kind of dirty player. He knows how to get away with it whereas Draymond doesn't care.

Pointing to technicals and flagrant fouls only indicates what everyone already knows: NBA refs suck and Kelly is sneaky.

But purposefully trying to detach a players arm from his body, diving at players' legs, elbowing guys in the face when you set screens, these are all dirty plays.

Edit: To be clear, yes, he's dirty. No, he's nowhere near as dirty as a guy like Draymond.

How the heck can you say purposely trying to detach a player's arm?

Nobody can read Olynyk's mind. That is a bogus claim unless Olynyk admitted it. There is no evidence to support he intended to injury Love.

He's literally tried to do it to multiple players now and in the case of Love especially, just grabbed his arm and purposefully yanked it. There's literally no way to justify what he did to Love as anything but a dirty play.

Olynyk was just trying to set Love up for the crippler cross face

Somebody smarter than me please explain why, with the game tied and around 10 seconds left and San Antonio with the ball, Pop had Leonard on the bench?

I don't get it. And he's still out.

 

[Cusefan0307]

He's hurt.

 

[OrangeDW]

Cough it up a few more times, Harden. Jeez.

 

[Cusefan0307]

This was a great offensive game for 3 quarters. Not sure what happened. Aldridge stinks. Can't score in the post against Ryan Andersen and Harden.

 

[OrangeDW]

Heck of a play by Ginobli. He really came through for them.

 

[MikeSU02]

What a game. Really hope Kawhi can get back for game six.

 

[Alsacs]

Spurs would be easier for the Warriors than the Rockets.

Rockets could go bonkers from 3 and win a couple of games off Golden State.

Spurs could get swept. They don't seem like they are playing well.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

harden single handedly lost that game. hold the ball, hold the ball hold the ball..1 second left..chuck a three..brick

OR

dribble, dribble, dribble, turnover

its as if he reverted back to evil harden from last year with 5 minutes left in the game

Harden did a really impressive job on Aldridge down there. Not so much on offense though

That's who he is.

1) I do think he leans back on that too frequently at end of games.
2) However, I think he was exhausted and just couldn't get anything going.

But you are right, that was just bad choices.

Aldridge has to be hurt. If not, he should donate part of his salary to a San Antonio charity.

Harden may also have a really strong lower body?

Like we all thought, harden struggled on offense but tried to make up for it on the defensive end. #analysis

Ha. I'll give him credit, he isn't shying away.

LMA has to be better going over his right shoulder. Even Harden and company know to keep him from going over his left.

Anyone have any thoughts on where Lowry should go?

Thank you Kevin Harlan. Maybe the higher ups will listen

Another blowout. How do you get blown out by a team you just blew out? Keeps happening.

These playoffs have been a dud.

I'd stick in Toronto. He's had a great career there. That's his squad. Great city to live in. Good team. I'd stay.
