Are you shocked Al Horford is playing dirty?

[srhcan]

I am. Never thought of him as a dirty player. But yesterday he tried 2 times to injure Steph Curry and take him out of series. Unbelievable. I guess he knows this is probably his last chance at championship; most likely Celtics will not get breaks in each round of playoffs again, the way they get this year. So everything is fair for him to achieve championship this year. But I am disappointed.

[TheWitcher]

It seems like fans want to attach an asterisk to every championship now.

[myronbolitar]

lol. With all the physical play in this series, it's perplexing that you'd identify Al Horford as someone who is "playing dirty." Huh. Oh well.

[Raptor_Guy]

He didn't try to injure anyone and the Celtics so far haven't had any breaks in the Finals, please stop.

[Pachinko_]

So the guy is looking up at the ball the whole time, but at the same time he somehow intentionally puts his foot exactly under someone else foot. It's hard to believe.

The thing that really shocks me is when people say things like "Al Horford is playing dirty"

[Celts17Pride]

Such a weak take

[L3GEND4RY]

Al isn’t a dirty player nor was there any intent to injure Curry. Let it go.

[CIN-C-STAR]

What plays we talking about?
That flagrant he got was soft as ice cream in August. Not dirty at all, Steph jumps way forward on that shot rather than Al sliding in underneath him a la Zaza.
Draymond already has a handful of plays dirtier than that this series.
I don't even know what other play you're talking about.

[Liver_Pooty]

The only break the Celtics are getting is Draymond putting up 2 points 4 assist yelling screaming and pouting. He's the true disappointment

[-Luke-]

Is he?

[GeorgeSears]

Nah. Curry shouldn't have dove for that ball.

There are certain players on the team that are too valuable and shouldn't be diving for loose balls. Steph is one of them.

[celticfan42487]

I am shocked but I shouldn't be that fans who grew up in this soft era now think any contact in a contact sport is "dirty".

Soon we'll just have each team on their own side of the court doing HORSE shots and that'll be the new NBA. Gotta get rid of this awful physicality in today's game!

[Bruin]

This is a reach and weak take but yes Al is dirty for what he did to TJ ford

[Ckay]

I don't think Warrior fans even though that was dirty.

That's an interesting take, and by interesting I mean "lol, no".

[Mamba Mentality]

What about Draymond pulling on Tatum's injured shoulder during a box out? That was far more egregious than what Horford supposedly did...

[Laimbeer]

Video or it didn't happen.

[balla4lyf23]

Such a weak take

lol youre a boston fan -your take means nothing here because of your bias
