Totally agree. There was no reason to do that. I do think Lowery was acting like a little baby though. He had more contact with the chair he ran into than that fan. Also, why was he complaining to the ref? Isn't there floor security that would have kicked the guy out right away?



Lowry says there was vulgar language too. Props to lowry for not decking that guy .

Nice jinx attempt. :lol:


Orlando Magic fans, you guys should be proud of your team.

And also thank Gasol for exposing Nikola V.


You say that like Gasol helped the Magic out, but just watch how many teams run to sign Vuc this offseason. He's still a good player even though he crumbled under pressure. If anything, that playoff performance will justify the Magic not offering him a max contract. And I really hope he's not offered a max!

Shady Franchise,

Are you really going there? Lowry acting like a little baby? if a man puts a hand on you, especially since you are at a level where you can't hit them back.. you really gonna sit there and take it? You'd let another man put a hand on you? I'm impressed by Lowry for keeping his cool.

Come on son.

Yeah, I mean.. at least Gasol helped you guys out if anything. He's a man that likes to give and help others, good guy.

Which they can. Klay gets extra rest to get stronger and they can still tie up the series. Not really sure what's so dumb about it. :dontknow:
If they lose the next game the series is over man.


Yeah I get that, but how are you so certain it wasn't the best decision to sit him? What if he got hurt for coming back too early and missed the rest of the Finals? Then it would have looked "really dumb" to have played him. At least now he's healthier for game 4, and they can win going back to Toronto tied up. :wink:

I agree. I just said that he whined like a baby to the ref, when he should have told security. Isn't that what security is for? I bet they would have walked that fan out right then and there. What does the ref care?

Like Lowry had time to seek out security, why doesn't he file a report while he's at it? Lowry did the right thing to get this classless fan kicked out.

I think generally speaking, the natural instinct is to complain or make ref alert about the situation. I'm sure Lowry spoke to the security as well which is when they probably reviewed and took the fan out.

1. There is no way Klay sits out next game even if he's only 60-70%. Iggy and Dray aren't taking or making open threes and that's ultimately killing the floor spacing and putting the whole offense in a funk. Klay's presence alone will open things up for everyone and allow guys to shift back into their natural roles.

2. Warriors defense is a dumpster fire. Raps had a lot more success driving into the paint and creating offense than they did in g2. Not having Looney is going to really hurt the Warriors moving forward.

3. I wish I could watch Curry carry a team of scrubs for one full season. I'm curious to see what he could do if got 25-30 shots a game although I think there is a pretty good chance that his body would just break down.

4. Cousins is trash. Keep him as far away from the Lakers as possible.

So is Klay coming back for game 4? I don't think mind games will work at this point.

Even with Klay and Looney in, Raps just plain look the better team to me. The top 2-3 spots are damn close, but the raps really start to take over after that, starting with Gasol over Iggy, and then down to Danny and Fred over a collection of multiple bit parts.

With KD in, the warriors might have the edge overall, but it would be a pretty competitive series.

I never feel sorry for teams with injuries.

It's like playing a videogame and the other guy says his controller don't work...oh well bruh, fix it...it happens.

Injuries are part of the game. You think the Warriors would feel sorry for the Raptors if Siakim got hurt or Danny Green? These guys aren't even All Stars.

What happened to the game...ain't no crying in basketball.....

Soft? He has been playing with a borderline broken hand the last 2 rounds. Maybe you wouldn't think Lowry is soft if he slapped the **** out of that gutless coward of a fan last night.

Yea sitting Klay was definitely the right call. What if they played him and he wasn't 100% or re injured himself and they lost game 3 anyways? Now atleast they can give klay some rest and come back fully loaded for game 4.

lowry is the exact opposite of soft. his jumper may come and go but he's all heart out there. you don't lead the league in drawn charges year after year if you're soft. i'll chalk this up to being mega emo after the loss.

Good point, but you can see security on the floor all of the time. I'm sure they know where they stand in the arena. It's not like it was his first day on the job.
