Warriors fans need to chill, it was a accident, if it was a dirty play it should be obvious

It’s definitely a dirty play. He gave Klay a flying kick moment later! Stop spinning!

It’s spontaneous action. No time to second guess yourself.

Marcus rain in ur enthusiasm so you won’t end up in suspect situations like every few months… even if ur not dirty, dawg this kind of stuff happens to him ( unintentionally injuring others) like a lot.

I dove on stephs legs but I didn’t mean to dive on stephs legs. His legs just happened to be under me. If the game was played like this nobody would be playing.

Diving is fine but he dove into his legs. He didn’t try to judge it. He passed the ball. He didn’t extend for the ball this isn’t the NFL. It’s dirty nobody dives through the legs. They dive to the ball. Anybody who plays know he tried to roll him up

He kicked Klay in the face immediately after he injured Steph!

This is only a story because it was Steph Curry who got hurt . Had the roles been reversed, they woulda praised curry’s hustle on that ball.
Had any other player on the warriors besides Klay or draymond got hurt. This would have no coverage

Smart is a smart dirty player , read between the lines come on! He does that every time. Man he must be celebrating on the inside cause he has 2 VICTIMS LAST NIGHT!

For me the least Kerr should have done is to just shut up after talking to smart

If you don’t watch Marcus Smart, you would think that it was a dirty play. But if the ball is loose, this man will literally make a play on it every. single. time.

Marcus Smart best hustle right now in the NBA, No DIRTY PLAY 💪💪💪

Laughable, coming from the coach that directed Pachulia to play careless and reckless against the Spurs costing the Spurs not only a shot at a championship but also Kwahi’s season and tenure with the team.

What everyone is forgetting is that now Curry will be well rested for the playoffs. Smart just made it much harder for any other team to win the championship! Teams should have been making Curry work hard this month to wear him down ahead of the playoffs – not give him a friggin month holiday!

I completely agree this isn’t a dirty play what so ever Marcus smart went for the ball. The golden state warriors are known for dirty plays when Draymond Green kicked Steven adams between the legs, when zaza tunneled kawahi Leonard while he was shooting those are dirty plays.

Both you Stephen A and the other guy on first take are wrong. That was a dirty play
