Curry injures ankle; Zaza involved

[Moranis]

Maybe Zaza really just is a big clumsy oaf and not dirty. Or maybe he just got confused on who he is supposed to take out.  Either way Curry rolled his ankle by landing in Zaza's foot.

Didn't Zaza go for 20-20 against Blount back when he was young and in ATL?  I remember him killing us. Figuratively, of course.

I don't know.

Just looked to ME that he could've done SOMETHING to better avoid landing on Westbrook like he did....extend his arms more.....SOMETHING.

I mean, it's not like Russell Westbrook is a HUGE player with tree trunk like legs....I simply think he could've avoided them better.

He's not THAT clumsy or he'd be out of the league by now.

I think he's dirty AND he's clumsy.  And I do NOT think he purposely fell on Westbrook.

Okay, Nick Young's legs aren't 250+ pounds. PUH-LEASE.

Zaza gets clipped from behind on his legs and you're telling me that's enough for him to just fall right at Westbrook's legs without making a legitimate attempt to break his fall??

This guy has been known to be dirty as a result of his clumsiness too.

Idk if people notice, but when a ball is in the air off a missed shot or deflection, even if it's not towards Zaza, he jumps up and makes a "smacking motion" trying to grab it or tip it, and I'm amazed he doesn't hit many opposing players in the process.

I dislike Pachulia, but Curry's injury looked to me like a complete accident, and nothing to do with any oafishness on Pachulia's part.

Yes, he is a large man, and it was a light hit.   You could see him pause and think about before he fell. 

Just because some folks have weak legs and are little guys  does not mean the same thing would happen to a big guy with a strong core, who is a professional athlete.   Most folks here would bounce off him if you ran into him. 

Look at Smart built like a linebacker, he really only goes down when it suits his purposes guys bounce off him.  The same could be said of Baynes and Semi at times.  This time going down suited Zaza's purpose and he is a repeat offender of taking guys out.   I suppose those were accidents too?   It's part of his game to throw his body around.
