Some fans on social media tried to defend (no pun intended) Zaza by saying he was tripped by Nick Young but most of the internet, Westbrook and a few other NBA players were calling BS.<\/p>\n<p>\"The league has to take a look at this man. This shit is ridiculous.\" Said Kyrie Irving on an Instagram post of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know Zaza, you know his history, you know nobody pushed him,\u201d Said Westbrook's teammate, Paul George. \u201cHe aimed where he was going to fall. That\u2019s Zaza making a Zaza play. He\u2019s on the end of hurting a lot of guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A very annoyed Westbrook agreed Zaza is a dirty player and the fall was intentional during an intense postgame interview that felt like Westbrook was on the verge of blowing up on a few media members.<\/p>\n<p>\"Don't ask me a dumb question if you know the answer.\" Said Westbrook to a reporter.<\/p>\n<p>When told about Westbrook's claims, Zaza replied with, \"No comment. That's childish. Come on. I'm not responding to that.\"<\/p>\n<p>If you remember, this isn't the first time Zaza has done something to piss off Westbrook. Back in 2017, after knocking Westbrook down to the floor, Zaza stood over his body for a few seconds. After the game, Westbrook said he was going to get Zaza back for the flagrant foul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to get his ass back. I don\u2019t play that game, I\u2019m going to get his ass back. Whenever that is. I don\u2019t know when that\u2019s going to be but I don\u2019t play that game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here's a collection of postgame comments from the players in the game and a few reactions from a few other players in the NBA, followed by a collection of Zaza being Zaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But he don't know the meaning of dope, When he's looking for a suit-and-tie rap that's cleaner than&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":154254,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8316,1444,3,74,23],"tags":[1742,3828],"featured":[],"class_list":["post-154253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-all-blogs","category-nba","category-nba-videos","category-video","tag-russell-westbrook","tag-zaza-pachulia"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
