    Since the league is protecting the Warriors, are not calling anything on them and everything on us and we never even had a chance, how would people seriously feel if we started to throw some elbows, tackle Green, try to injury some guys, basically send the Warriors bruised to the next round?

    Become known a national joke and despised as the team that purposely tries to injure other players, great idea!

    Yeah that be a great way to attract Durant and other star players.

    Been saying this since the series started but I don't think the players outside of Bev will have the ballet do it.

    This league has gone soft as baby ****.

    Great culture and mentality to instill in a already dysfunctional team: we can't beat GSW at basketball, so lets just try to injure them on purpose. :rolleyes:

    Not injure them on purpose but own your space on the court.

    I wouldn't say injure on purpose but a shot to the ribs while fighting though an illegal pick would be nice!

    The thing is that if it was a close series, being extra aggressive, bad boys Pistons style, could make a difference.

    With this current team, doing something like this would just further demonize them, because we would probably be losing by 30 points whilst doing it haha.

    Why do people care so much about what others think about the Rockets team?

    So they should be submissive and let stuff like this happen because they are afraid to be perceived negatively by the media?

    Not saying to injure anyone, but run into the screen with fierce momentum, as if you would anyone else who steps in your way all of a sudden when you are trying to do your job.

    We need to play physical. Not talking cheap shots but we need to attack, not be afraid to body up.

    Does anyone else think it would be absolute comedic gold if the Rockets were run by Clutchfan consensus?

    If everything you got includes trying to injure your opponent on the basketball court, then I'd much rather lose.

    There is nothing wrong with playing physical and hard. But the topic of this thread by the OP calls for not only cheap shots and elbows but attempts to INJURE the opponent.

    Noone is saying don't play physical. There isn't some false dichotomy of playing nice or playing dirty which is what this thread is about. Arguing that teams should not as the opening post suggests "throw some elbows, tackle Green, try to injury some guys" does not leave only playing nice.
