Strained flop.

I can't see him missing a game.

If he misses a game it's on him. That's what he gets for trying to pull a Curry and kick both of his legs out to get the ref to call a non existing foul. I hate that crap, you create the contact it should be a no call or even an offensive foul.

Pull a Steph Curry? No sir. It's pull a James Harden. Harden should be the poster boy of flopping. $$ fines are not enough. The refs should call a foul or even a flagrant-1 foul and the NBA enforces the $$s penalty.

The jumping and spreading both legs is completely a Steph move. Harden will stick out a leg and flop to get the call. Two different moves.

Both are terrible and should absolutely not only be no calls but also an offensive or a technical foul. Flagrant is a little pushing it I think but I'm fine with that as well if it means players would stop doing it.

Facts. Steph even did that kick out move once or twice during game 2.

Raptors should be in attack mode, no way Klay keeps up defensively with a pulled hammy. If this was the regular season I'd say he's out for a couple of weeks. It's the playoffs so they trying to push him to play to the detriment of his own health and the team.

Glad to see no called foul on that play, Klay brought it on himself for kicking his leg sideways and landing awkward

This is all Klay. Did you see his strained knee by JR last finals? It looked like he tore his ACL, but he came back the same game. Klay wants to play, I don't think the Warriors are pushing him to. (Liability wise, the final call is the player's.)

I even think that Looney will be back in 5,6,7 game. This may be their last finals together. Warriors will be attack mode too.

Curry jumped backwards into FVV to draw a foul. :evil:

Cook is learning fro Curry when he shot a 3, missed and when landing jumped with 2 feet backwards to fall on his butt. Though when Danny Green gets a rebound with 2 Warriors making contact they think Danny Green is trying to fake it landing out of bounds? :roll: When has Danny Green or Kawhi ever embelished contact to draw a foul? They come from the Spurs team culture that isn't about that.
