We complain when million players do not hustle. Now we complain when they hustle. Damn if you do and damn if you don't.

Warrior fans be getting all in their feelings on a hustle play. That there was a hella Tommy point! Prayer for Curry's health but... Go Green

[scottschrauth]

God bless you Marcus the only reason why Steve Kerr the players and the Warrior fans are mad at you is because you got to the ball first before Steph Curry did and that's the bottom line Tommy heinsohn is looking down on you from heaven and giving you a standing ovation you're a team player and that's the bottom line bro

I love curry even as a Celtics fan, he’s probably the best shooter of all time, but saying so the nba have to protect him because he isn’t a tough player, he’s a shooter, he shouldn’t even try to play defense

How about a Warriors vs Celtics Finals everyone?
Been waiting for that to happen while Curry is still playing.
I think the Celtics can win that matchup in 7.

Funny thing is Kerr played the same way when he was a player..lol.

[BillWilson]

The nerve of Warriors fans calling Marcus Smart Dirty, with Draymond Green on your team 🤣🤣🤣. Its honestly laughable. HILARIOUSLY LAUGHABLE

Seeing a tonne of people crying over someone hustling over a loose ball. Salty warriors fans. Was he just supposed to stand there and let Steph pick up the ball?! It’s not his fault Steph was in the way. If it was intentional we would’ve seen him drive his elbow into Steph. It’s unfortunate that Steph was hurt. Yes the Klay thing on the fast break thing was a bit silly tho imo

[ArmorofGod]

He dove for the ball, get over it Warrior fans.
