Does the NBA need to do something about Zaza Pachulia?
Yes
First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright yes .kick him out of the league. What are they waiting for??? Just protect the product!
Send him to Alflalo hes crazy 2
He’s hurts superstar on purpose. Why is he in the league?
you know the answer
If Zaza ever injures LeBron Nick will catch a body.
I'm weak
Faxxx
brian YEAH SO TRUE
He for sure pullin up to zaza’s
LMAO!!!!
He called him a "habitual line stepper" lol
It was Charlie Murphy who used habitual line stepper. Shoutout to the Chappelle Show reference though.
R.i.p Charlie
Dominic Fair I was just thinking that, didn’t Charlie Murphy say that RIP
Chappelle show references >
RIP Charlie Murphy , yep he's a habitual!!
Im with nick on this one
The OKC need to sign Ron Artest to handle this problem.
Daniel Sanchez Meta Worldpeace
Ronnn
Dwayne B, no he was right they need Ron Artest, not Meta Wouldpeace. 😂
OKC has Steven Adams, the strongest player in the league, he should have handled it
All fine until warriors raise a Ben Wallace.
Wow.. when nick isn’t talking about the cavs and lebron, he actually provides some good insight. He made great points and is 100% correct about ZaZa, he’s a clown without makeup. There’s a difference between being physical and dirty.. and as nick poetically put it ZAZa is a “habitual line stepper”..hahaha. Perfectly said.
aaron neault FACTS
I agree he would be a Chris carter level analyst almost if it wasn't for the LeBron bias
aaron Neault
He always has good insight. Remove your difference of opinion from it & you'll see he's always been consistent.
Recency Bias Radio outside of lebron.. he is objective and delivers really good commentary.
aaron Neault hes actually right about lebron, hes just not a blind hater. When lebron finished his career you will all be nicks wishing lebron was still playing. The goat KING bron
Zaza looked like Gronk going after Tre'Davious White
lol honest
Zaza needs to be kicked out the nba this has gone too far.
To me, old school dirty players were doing something to send a message, not to try and injure another player.
Bowen...
Nah the pistons were doing the same if not worse
@@drakebudasz8837 Yup
Suspend Zaza for the season.
It’s that simple,
Jon Harris a pattern of attempting to injure players
+ fine GSW $300mil. for continuing to allow Zaza to play without proper coaching/training on player safety and injury prevention.
Pull GSW future draft pics
Should be noted that the Quote of “He’s a habitual line stepper”, while on Chappelle Show was said by Charlie Murphy lol
brAnDon HD same thing I said when he spoke those words...pay Respect to the right person now Nick. RIP Charlie Murphy
R I P
"Skilless goon!" Hit him Nick! I love it!
Suspend him for the season and set an example for the rest of the league
ernest explains ban him from the league fawk u mean
He's on a one-year deal, and I doubt anyone will re-sign him if he's suspended for the season
ernest explains soft
Why should he be banned from the nba when he did nothing wrong? If you actually watch a clip you can clearly see he took a step to try and regain his balance.
Chris Broussard >>>> Chris Carter ... Jesus not even close.
Chris should take his spot
I think they should just add him and have three kinda like first take
and a Cigar Store Indian statue > Nick Wright
Broussard > every basketball "analyst" there is..
chris is good at basketball his other sport analysis is awful. Personally I kinda find him annoying it constantly sounds like he is yelling when he is talking.
Zaza Pacheapshot
Dwayne B GOAT comment 👌
Hahaha "he's a good.....ehm....a basketball player" LMAO
Yeah Chris is tripping Zaza shouldn't be in the league period.
FACTS
Can’t believe I side with Nick over Chris
i think Chris is right but i agree with nick... zaza is a skill less goon and doesnt belong in the league
Hunter lol so who do you agree with? You just said I’m here and there. So which is it dawg?
Nick Wright is right ZAZA is the most replaceable player on the Warriors . And he causes the Warriors bad publicity
Trey Bens He is one of the most important pieces
He's not good. He's only there for the sole purpose of hurting someone. GSW doesn't need help looking bad. They cry and complain more than any other team in the league. Proof is in the technicals. Zaza is useless except for when he holds rebounders and sets moving screens.
Trey Bens no people hate the warriors anyway
Aymeric Tam no he isn't
"Habitual line stepper"
late great Charlie Murphy
Respect
At the very least Bill Laimbeer was a good starter for a Championship team and gave solid numbers. Zaza is just a scrub thats plays dirty
So you should be skilled and play dirty?
g33k707 All I'm saying is that Laimbeer was not expendable, he was scoring 13 to 17 ppg and could shoot the 3 as a Center in the 80s/90s. Zaza is as expendable as they come in the NBA, at least 20 NBA team have a better starting Center than him
And Laimbeer was smart and tactical about his fouls, getting into the other players heads. People forget that he took some all time greats off their game. Zaza throws his weight around with no regard for consequence or injury
Kavin Karunathilaka bro..zaza is in the NBA because he has a size and force.. he was not brought in to score or play exceptional defense.... he is their enforcer. Simple as that. Play was dirty and he should be fined.
Evan E zaza goofy asf no doubt about it... but again like I said he is their enforcer
IT WASN'T DAVE CHAPPELLE, IT WAS CHARLIE MURPHY, GIVE THAT MAN HIS CREDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree with nick which is very rare lol
Same. He isn't that good, he has never been that good. GS should go with Javale and Bell over this bum.
If only guys like Charles Oakley, Xavier McDaniel, and rick mahorn were still in the league.
TheGoldeagle99 and Anthony Mason
Once Jordan bell comes back, I don’t wanna see zaza pacheapshot on an NBA court again
chris broussard + max kellerman- the most artioculate duo- they should team up
Zaza turned potentially one of the most competitive Conference Finals into a sweep. That's all the league needs to consider when deciding if he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Imagine what nicks gonna be like if Zaza injures lebron😂
He throwing hands with zaza
No someone has to die
The Warriors are done playing the Cavs this year, and I don't think it will happen again this season.
LeBron own the league.... ZAZA Bujulia will get fireeeed lool
Joshua Voelker stop it lol. Cavs will be in the finals
Let’s be realistic though.. if this was the other way around. I.E if ZaZa fell on Stephen Curry the same way it wouldn’t of matter if he was good or not he’d be exiled. Think about it.
LOL. Why would Chacha " intentionally" do that On Curry? Cha cha is DIRTY but not STUPID.
I saw you edited it. But mostly what I’m saying was if the Center was on another team. And fell on Steph Curry. He’d be banned from the NBA. So yeah
He’s 7’0 tall and misses wide open layups at the rim. He cannot play basketball, why is he in the nba?
Passing, screens, free throws, physicality, enforcement. He is however, slow, can’t jump, score consistently, flops and complains. Pros and cons man.
zachache Don't forget the complete inability to protect the rim.
zachache the cons out weigh the pro by alot he can't even set screens right most of them are illegal
But he has decent mid range, he sets solid screens, he's a good passer for curry. Why would they get rid of him.
+Brent Foster But Durant and Draymond are around. Plus Zaza shares minute with Javale and D. West. And most of the times Warriors don't play with a dedicated rim protector (small ball line up).
The reason why the Warriors need him, is prevent him from injuring the Warriors if he was on another team.
Oh great Jenna’s back 🙄
Anthony Mikkelson said no one ever
Anthony Mikkelson i’m happy as long as it’s not kristine leahy
Lololo
Anthony Mikkelson 😂😂😂
Cavsfan 7 she's annoying...
GET BROUSSARD A SHOW!!!!(
he already has one
justin etters ua-cam.com/video/o3zb2XYcE30/v-deo.html
"Skilless goon" ...that's a good one
They really dont have enforcers in hockey anymore, they have guys who can hit, but they dont have people who just fight.
hockey hasnt had enforcers for a decade
This isn't going to end until someone is in a real fist fight
I think it would be fun if the rest of the league (not the office, but rather the players) warn the warriors that if they don't put Zaza on check that they will come after them as well. And maybe start a callout hashtag like #Warriorscomeouttoplay
This would be dope but prolly bad for the game
The Warriors would go on a tear and lay waste to the league
Nick is just killing me 😂😂 don't get me wrong, for the most part I agree with him, it's just how animated he is regarding this topic 😂😂😂
Finally Nick says something credible
We so soft now. OKC should of bodied some one on GSW. Bring back Kendrick Perkins
"habitual line stepper" was technically a Charlie Murphy quote
Dave Chappelle wasn't the one who said that, it was Charlie Murphy talking about Rick James on Dave Chappelle's show
I usually don't agree with Nick but I am 110% with him on this one.
One of the only times I will ever agree with Nick Wright.
Hard to find a proper solution, but the League needs to step in and atleast indicate that they are willing to do something, or acknowledge that they are looking into it, because otherwise this might go places they do not like.
Nick won this one for sure. Cut him now, the juice is not worth the squeeze like he said.
Nick Wright has put it the best:
This league is too good to have the skill-less goon out there trying to injure MVP candidates.
I agree with Nick. 100% 100% 100%
Goons in hockey is fading. Awful example...even the NHL is pushing that style out of the league.
Wish there was a guy like Ben Wallace, Shaq, Alonzo M, etc in this current NBA to step up to Zaza Pacheapshot...but we live in 2018...where everyone is best friends
Lol, Nick wright called him a habitual line stepper.
As much as I love Chris Broussard, I don't think he understood Nick Wright's point. Nick isn't saying he should be banished from the NBA, here's saying that his behavior combined with his talent should make it so teams don't want him.
Nick a savage today telling the “light year” crew to scrap Zaza. “The NBA is too good to have this skill less goon out there trying to injure MVP candidates” lol 😂
Zaza can shoot 3's. He's not great in the post but he is a good player. Nick Wright's a hater. I don't approve of what Zaza is doing but Nick got called on his BS when Chris Broussard mentioned how he has a double standard not calling Draymond out on it and reprimands Pachulia. I have completely lost respect for Nick Wright as a sports analyst as he is unable to remain objective. You don't just call a random NBA player a "Goon" without having your own agenda or severely underrating them.
lol I remember Mike Korzemba trying his damnedest to justify Zaza by saying he was really good at setting screens 😂😂
Suspend him for more than a game. If you're going to play dirty don't make it so obvious. Make an example out of him. He's not the only player to do dirty stuff, but make people know they and their team may suffer for it.
First time I've ever agreed with Nick Wright.
Im more mad at Steven Adams for not coming to Russ rescue for like the 3rd time smh
Zaza is the last thing I want to see on a basketball court. But NBA needs him :)
Hockey enforcers aren't dirty players. They protect specialized players from players like Zaza P.
Nick has a point. I mostly agree with what he says
My all-time team vs yours - post yours and why yours would beat mine - not saying mine is unbeatable, obviously every team has weaknesses, but overall I think this team would be the greatest.
1 - Magic
2 - Oscar
3 - Jordan
4 - Lebron
5 - Wilt
6th Man - Durant
Big of Bench - Kareem
Wing of bench -Scottie
Durant and Scottie bring perimeter defense and with oscar, magic, and lebron there is ball handlers that can bring the ball up the court so the team wouldn't need another PG in its first 8 players, player 9 steph curry shooting would be a small that would be added to help beat other combinations and make up for weaknesses.
Seems like some of those warrior fans don't know what's the difference between physical and dirty.
I would love it if last year spurs or last night okc, someone go and do the same to steph/klay/kd. Send a message to the warrior
2:16 is why broussard is the GOAT
Wait wtf the Warriors game is at 4:30 are they going to suspend him or not?
I like how Zaza went from 280 to 260 to 285 lmao
Nick is the only dude that can go blows with CB. Props.
They don't do it in hockey, anymore
A comeback for the host's comment on hockey players having enforcers - hockey players play in full pads -
Zaza marks the league’s best players. What are the odds that this happens in the Conference Finals on Kawhi? What are the odds that it happens on Westbrook?
"Suspending me for what? I thought this was America. No? Oh, I'm I'm sorry, I thought this was America"
-Zaza & Randy Marsh
Finally Nick is right.
"This league is too good to have this skilless goon out there"
"Hehe"
Lol
Personally, I am happy to have Jenna back, and I prefer her on set.
Nick I love Zaza Pacheapshot he is awesome, i like his dunk :)
In the real NBA back in the 80’s and 90’s this would be a non-issue.
June Llantada exactly
Steph and Clay would also have stitches right now bc of that play if it was the Old NBA.
It wouldn't even have been a story back then. Ron Artest ran in the stands to fight an entire crowd without even knowing where the drink came from. Zaza would've got handled day one back then, period. Davis brothers from Indy, Oakley, etc. It would've been a wrap.
FACTS!!!!!!
Imagine if none these 3 point shooters were irrelevant because they were gettin put down hit on the shot n no call ooo that would be great for lebron Russ kawaii players that are great shooting 2s the 3ball hurt lebron
I’m sorry but at the end of the day fans are here to watch players like Westbrook not zaza , so the nba is just hurting itself by keeping him.
Two videos in a row I've been with Nick, two videos in a row he didn't talk about the greatness of Lebron.
They have him so he can take the tip 😂 anyone else caught that
LOL. Zaza is that kid on the court you do not want to play against cause you know you will get hurt if you keep playing with him. But when that kid is on my team, oh man I love it.
I can’t believe Chris said the Warriors have the same attitude as the Pistons. Not even close they aren’t respected that way at all physically
i like nick you can say about him whatever you want but he is very passionate about basketball and is a true basketball fan
The thing is that suspending Zaza for a game or more won’t affect the Warriors. There are a lot of affordable big guys in the league who would love to play for Golden State and have triple his skill level. He’s dispensable. GSW only has him there to get in the other team’s head, knowing that he might very well “accidentally” injure the opposing team’s best player.
The Warriors should be punished, not Zaza. This guy could get deported and the warriors wouldn’t be mentally capable of caring less.
They do it in hockey WITH pads and helmets. They don't have enforcers per se in football but again WITH pads and helmets. Nick is right, there's no place for 'enforcing' in a game played without personal protection. Chris you keep saying he belongs in the league but cant list ONE basketball related skill he has; unless being tall is your only qualifier.
The reason why Zara is not suspended is because after review and review and review, it was deemed not intentional. You guys are tried to lobby for it...
Yes! Hold kerr accountable!
Chris Broussard always right.
Warriors need him, they need all the help they can get.
i like what he does it's quite entertaining...idc if players get hurt they make enough money for playing the sport
Zaza was actually on his way out but because Jordan Bell got hurt, he is still playing. He was already being phased out.
coaches often send people to rough out players its a common thing in a basketball game either it be on the professional level or the street ball level its a practice that coaches have, you guys should have known this and should not be shocked at this on the NBA level...
Nick is right .. I wouldn’t bother ZaZa .. But there would be a hit out on KD or Curry
Golden State are the NBA's golden boys and the NBA won't punish them for anything. Draymond kicks groins, nothing happens, Steph throws his mouthpiece at a ref, nothing happens, Zaza tries to hurt people, nothing happens. The NBA's favoritism is getting hard to stomach.
I want to know what happens if any other player throws his mouthpiece at a ref.
This SHOULD have been a suspension. Now with that said, the Warriors accomplished their goal last night -- getting in OKC's head. And it wasn't just Zaza who did it! Talked about this on my channel today.
Now on the other hand, if you tell me that Chris Broussard is replacing Chris Carter, I'm not upset at all. I don't think that Carter is all horrible, although his arrogance sometimes bothers, but everybody (including myself) seems to really like and respect Broussard. Not sure though, how good Broussard is with all the other sports, outside basketball, as he is more of an NBA insider. Gotta keep Nick and Jenna, or may lose me.
Nick Wright got a life sentence at Prisoner of the Moment Penitentiary
To be honest Zaza has a good Basketball IQ. One of the best passing center in the NBA.
THANK YOU
Zaza is just pure entertainment tbh
Zaza sets great screens and is a good defender against the non really athletic bigs.
