There were some questionable plays in the Warriors game. Faried's elbow and Koufos pushing Curry was pretty bush league, but a few others like Faried pulling down Jack after that one pump fake when he tweaked his ankle also didn't look right.

Not that any of those are to blame for the Warriors losing, but it was still a lame strategy by Karl and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jackson is at least partially right. Not so much about specifically targeting Curry's ankle, not sure how you even do that, but they definitely got some cheap shots in.

Warriors are dirty as hell. Bogut is one of the dirtiest guys in the league.

I'd give Bogut the round. Had clear octagon control and was the aggressor.

Bogut's been known as dirty for awhile, this isn't news.

What? You do know that came after Faried needlessly hit Curry going through the lane twice, right? One of them being the blatant elbow at the beginning of the game.

Bogut's shove on Faried's goofy ass was great, that was direct retaliation for his two cheap shots.. The one that was unnecessary was Draymond Green bashing into Faried later on when boxing out.

Blake is such a phony superstar. Can't believe I dreamt if him being a Laker a few years ago.

DeAndre is trash too and Clipps gave him that crazy contract. CP should see the writing on the wall and get the hell out of dodge.

I wouldn't call him phony just yet. His first full season he showed confidence in his jump shot and so pretty decent post moves. I don't know what happened to that Griffin but I'm the one to believe that once you show that ability you never lose it. Don't know what will bring it back out in Griffin but it better happen soon because its a one-man show out there right now.

I'd say you were right in the Thuggets days. This team plays pretty clean imo. If the shots were so cheap and meant to hurt Curry, why didn't they send some goon in to do the work? Doesn't make sense to put Faried out there and risk knocking him out of the game.

After rewatching the 'attempted hits' and all the whining going on, sounds more like Mark Jackson doing what he does best and releasing a stream of verbal diarrhea. Those were love taps.

Yep. Jordan is garbage and Griffin hasn't really progressed all that much since his rookie year.

I don't really see why it is taking everyone so long to figure out how garbage Jordan is. Half of the reason we kept losing leads in the fourth last year was because his ass kept getting benched in the fourth for Martin and Evans.

His spin move in the post was pretty deadly in the 10-11 season. His overall moves that year were limited but he definitely showed it.

Please... was hardly a move

And that would be a move not moves in the post
