Pachulia should have been ejected. It is hard to feel sorry for the Spurs but I hate the Warriors worse
Warriors are crybabies
I had to watch the replay twice before I even realized Pachulia actually hit Leonard's foot on that play. watching it live I thought Leonard was so worried about landing on him that he landed awkwardly and rolled it but the replay made it clear he caught the foot with his foot when he turned in a blocking out motion. I hope it's not serious that looked pretty bad.
I will say this, if that's a technical or an ejection then Simmons and Manu are gone too they both did it to Curry in the same game. Manu did it to Curry twice, once he knocked him down the other one Steph avoided it.
I think the NBA has to do something about that, one of the reasons so many 3 point shooters do that fall back routine on the shots, Steph does it regularly now, is it's their "defense" against guys doing the Bruce Bowen stick your foot in their landing area move.
It sucks that Leonard got hurt it clearly changed the outcome of the game.
The Warriors have by passed the Spurs 2 years running due to the Clips and then OKC beating them, the Spurs are a terrible matchup for the warriors because of the style of play and how good of a coach Pop is. I wasn't at all surprised with that long layoff the Warriors came out shooting poorly and effectively Leonard getting hurt flipped the game.
