Hawks steal game 1! Wow!

It doesn't look dirty, no. Looks accidental at first glance...

I know you're ready to move on from this, so we can let it go and agree to disagree about the injury to Irving.

However, if I'm wrong and you'd like to continue discussing it, I'll say that I don't see how you feel like Joe Harris wacking Pat Connaughton across the face is any more of an unintentional accident that Irving landing on Big G's foot.

I think a player has more motive to hurt a player's feet versus their face: if a player's face gets cut, the player can still play. They can wear a mask and continue playing.

A hurt knee or ankle is more obtrusive and very often take players out.

In addition, a player's foot is easier to take out than a face: a face can be at any height, a foot has to always return to floor height. I'm more suspicious of Giannis than Harris. Giannis has to know Kyrie's feet are below Kyrie who's currently in the air: Kyrie's feet are going to come down.
