Everyone is so laser focused on the knee pull, but what about Pooles other arm? One arm is pushing Ja’s back and the other is pulling his knee, if it was just the knee pull, I’d have no argument. With both combined, it was 100% intentional to injure him in my opinion. If you disagree, rewatch it and focus on both of his arms moving in different directions at the same time, he can claim to be reaching for the ball with his right arm but then why did his left arm push off of him simultaneously? It doesn’t take much to tweak a knee at all

Have y’all ever played basketball in your life?

You think a player who is going for a loose ball, all of a sudden has the wherewithal to push a guy in the back while grabbing his knee at the same time to intentionally try and injure him?

Cmon. If we didn’t have a strong bias against the Warriors already, it wouldn’t even cross anyone’s mind that it was anything other than an accident

Pretty disingenuous to act like NBA players aren’t thinking while they are playing. A lot of it is reflex but like you and I, they are people with thoughts. And I’m sure they have some semblance of revenge on their minds after Brooks whacked Payton in the head mid air. Again, I’d agree it was nothing if it was just the knee pull but if you watch both of his arms simultaneously it looks to me like he was trying to contort his knee. I have never done anything remotely similar to that while playing pickup, if I push you with one arm and pull your knee with my other, it’s not going to feel good, guaranteed.

What about Bane diving into Poole’s knees?

Warriors been acting like bitches the whole time. Draymond Green is a POS always has been. Why I stopped liking Gstate. I think being in San Fran has turned them into a whiny bunch of Looney like the majority of population there.
