Yup - I agree with Pop about it being dirty, but can't get much sympathy for Pop.

I've got no sympathy for Pop. I'm just mad because it's prob gonna ruin what looked like was going to be a hell
Of a series.

Andre Iguodala did not practice today. Questionable for tomorrow. MRI results not out yet.

He also conveniently forgets he had S. Jackson too...

BPI gives the Celtics a 68% chance to win Game 7.
Tomorrow, they have a 25% chance to get the #1 pick.
There's a 17% chance both happen.

Jackson never struck me as dirty. He's a tough guy no doubt but not dirty.

Bruce Bowen on the other hand is the reason that play is illegal he was the king of sliding under guys when they were in the air.

Zaza Pachulia's foul on Kawhi Leonard will not be upgraded to a flagrant -- if you were wondering if that might happen.

Yeah I knew I wasn't the only one that saw that and there were 2-3 others the Spurs did in the same game. But as Brown said the difference is the shooter didn't land on the defenders foot so they don't call the foul.

Gortat is truly useless.

 

[sunsfan88]

Gortat is truly useless.

Both their centers are trash and extremely overpaid.

Not sure what spurs are crying about.

Not sure what spurs are crying about.

Gotta point fingers at everyone else after you give up a commanding lead. Status quo.

Report: MRI finds no structural damage in Andre Iguodala’s knee

It still would be surprising to see Andre Iguodala on the court for Game 2 against the Spurs on Tuesday night.

However, there is this bit of good news for Warriors fans regarding Iguodala after he missed most of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals with a sore left knee. Via Shams Charania of The Vertical at Yahoo Sports.
