    The fake news is the headline, not that Zaza is a dirty player.

    You don’t walk under where a guy is landing time after time on accident. You really wanna give Zaza a pass?

    Headline: "Steve Kerr told Zaza Pachulia to hurt James Harden"
    Thread: Video of Steve Kerr talking to Zaza (nothing is heard on the video) then a quick edit to a play where James Harden takes a shot and Zaza walks forward and makes no contact with Harden and notably nobody gets hurt.

    Like I said, #FakeNews

    It doesn't mean Zaza isn't dirty and it doesn't mean Kerr isn't cool with Zaza being dirty.

    Well, it only takes 2 seconds to utter that statement. So in about 27 seconds in that video I am confident Kerr was NOT telling ZaZa to injure Harden... haha

    "Zaza, do you hear 'yanny' or 'laurel'?"
    "I heard 'yanny' first now I hear both."
    "Man, you tripping GTFO it's clearly 'laurel'".

    It seems like James purposely took a very small jump on that shot because he realized the situation. Zaza on him. Garbage time. Wise move by Harden.

    Not saying Kerr instructed him, but Zaza did seem to take that second step forward with extra intensity. Almost like it is second nature for him to try to step under a shooter's feet.

    The moment he was put in the game, we should have taken out our key players. Especially with that lead. No reason for them to be in there. Even if Kerr doesn't tell him anything, the way Zaza plays you have to be weary of it and just be safe.

    Playing devils advocate even though I hate that man, it seems like he stepped to the side of him not directly under him.

    You have to crank the volume up on big speakers but it's "Sweep the leg, Zaza.."

    OP should have made the title Kerr condones his players such as Dray and Zaza to be dirty and Steph to blatantly flop

    Looked like he tried to create contact there but I suppose we'll have to disagree

    Arguing with people that cant disengage from being subjective and not objective is a lost cause. Those are some seriously subjective/blind people you are replying to.

    Zaza is a dirty pos. He and Kerr probably talk in code " You need to close in fast on Harden, wear him like a glove /shadow him.
