    Does a shoulder bump qualify as a cheap shot? Hopefully no one touches him this series.

    "You do wonder if someone, at some point, will try to thug up the angel"
    We sure as *** will. That whole team will be thoroughly urbanized.

    You're right. I was amused by the colorful language. Really terrible and biased writing. Reminds me of Baldwin.

    I do believe that Curry is mentally soft and doubt that many have challenged him.

    Bumping into someone with intent...makes it sound like Ariza straight up murdered someone. The writer is a clown. If he wants to suggest that a player is dirty he should be writing about C U Next Tuesday Bogut.

    Stephen Curry is the King of Flop. He flops on all screens.

    Guys bump into each other alllll the time. Problem is, Curry makes Brewer look like Jabba The Hut. And he uses that featherweight assumption with the refs to flop like crazy.

    I just read the Examiner quotes to my wife. She says the technical term for this is "pearl clutching."

    He needs to know what a legitimately hard (non-flagrant) foul feels like in this series

    Bogut's clapping was the most annoying part of that.

    Cheap shot?

    Cheap shot implies that there was an intent to hurt him or something. Ariza clearly bumped him with his shoulder as he went by, but it was more like a "hey man, I know you got away with an offensive foul brah, I see what you did there!"

    That's not nearly enough of a bump to be called a shot, let alone a cheap shot. That an article was just written about that is a joke. Every single player that guards Dwight does that after every single offensive possession the Rockets have lol.
