I don't recall, but it could be the case that Paul used to face guard someone and then get in front of them with his back to them over and over to impede their walking anywhere on the court off the ball.

Grayson Allen definitely has a history of being a dirty player.

What is wrong with Kenny Smith's legs?

He was more of an offensive pest. Dribble in front of a big and then stop so he gets run over. But Paul would 100% have done everything Alvarado does if he thought it was helpful to win. He’s a pro at finding any advantage he can. Didn’t be get someone a tech for having their jersey untucked? He’s definitely annoying.

Yes, got to play by the rules and use them to your advantage. You could see him doing that to Avocado. touching Avocado's chest over and over to get him to get pissed off.

As long as it stays in the realm of sports and entertainment, I have no problem with fans booing or players giving the middle finger. It's a two way road.

Campazzo on the nuggets, though he doesn’t really play. Marcus Morris on the Clips, and I’d say Hayes on NOP…
Alvarado is annoying, but I don’t think he’s dirty. He’s like Jevon Carter or honestly like Chris Paul(moreso in his younger years)
Exactly.
Oh, yeah. Avocado is definitely a future Hall of Famer. Just like Paul.

I don't think Horford is nimble enough to be any kind of Giannis-stopper. Giannis just had an off game. It happens. Bucks have an uphill battle to win this series without Middleton. Nevertheless they got the split on Boston's home floor. I think they're doing pretty well so far, all things considered.
As for Memphis vs Golden State, I think the Grizzlies are a bad matchup for the Warriors much in the same way that the Pelicans were for us. Grizz are young, hungry, strong, and athletic. Their best player is a 200mph PG who can jump out of the gym and attacks the basket relentlessly; that is a bad matchup for the Warriors guards like Steph Curry. Grizz can't shoot 3s like the Warriors can, but they're a good defensive team and can use their youth and speed and muscle to wear the Warriors out. And at the end of games, the Warriors can't reliably stop Morant from just plowing his way to the basket to get a layup and/or foul call. I like the Grizzlies' odds of winning a lot of close games in this series for that reason.

Every game of the Warriors/Grizzlies series may come down to the wire. GS has the advantage there.

That's really bullshit. I like the idea of suspending the guy for as long as the injured player is out, maybe with a max of 3 months. Just not right that guys like Brooks or Allen get away with hitting a guy in the air, cause a severe injury and miss only a game or two.

I saw Warriors fan here complaining after the game
Not the first controversial last minute drive by Ja and slow motion of most NBA players always looks worst when it comes to travel or carry
Either way, league came with the After the Fact report which I always found silly so expect Warriors fans to be complaining more than usual

I think most primary ball handlers carry the ball on most possessions.

Bane is the better player.
