Popavich was raving about how dastardly Zaza was for closing out on Kawhi the way he did, too. He's the last person who claim being wronged by such a thing when he harbored the inventor of 'foot in the landing zone', Bowen, on his team as well as the most extreme and dangerous flopper of all time in Genobilli. It's too bad the incident gave GSWs a further advantage because it could have been a great series, but if has to happen to someone, Pops is the most deserving. I watched the replay several times and the number of steps ZZ took fit with the amount of momentum he had so maybe a common foul. Heck, just by the sheer frequency that Bowen had a foot under a landing opponent, you know it was purposeful - and it looked intentional most times, too.

Celtics are going to need more than Hayward to beat the Monstars next year.

this is beyond pathetic.

I can't ever remember another team being down 30 in BOTH of their first 2 HOME GAMES in ANY series in my life.

Boston being undressed. Cute little gimmick.

I mean really who could Boston beat in the west I don't think they could hang with GS, The Spurs, The Rockets, The Clippers and I don't think they could of beat Memphis

In a series with OKC and UTAH I think those might be even money

"It's not a concern," Silver said. "I think that we should celebrating excellence. People are already anointing these teams as dominant and franchise teams. But, on the other hand, I look at the [Warriors] that hadn't won a championship in 40 years. The Cavaliers, of course, won last year and had never won a championship before in this league. ... Of course you want to see balance throughout the league. At the same time, when teams are excelling and playing at that level, I think, the fan in me, it's fantastic to watch.

I don't think these match ups are pathetic we are just seeing two legit dominate teams. I for one love it

We are witnessing greatness. This is like two Titans on a collision course the immovable object against the unstoppable force.

The single greatest offensive team in history against King James in the rubber match to see who this era belongs to.

I'm loving this
