Agreed. He is playing very, very hard. It does not surprise me that the competition doesn't like it.
He shouldn't have done the "leg lock" on Gibson, but Gibson's reaction was much farther out of line.
On the Korver play he was going for the ball and every action he made was consistent with trying to secure it over anything else. Too bad that resulted in a serious injury.
The Horford play was 100% Horford headhunting. Someone posted an angle that clearly shows Horford dragging Delavadova to the ground at the beginning of the play (this is not the angle that has been most commonly replayed where it looks as if Delavadova might be diving into another player's legs on purpose). Once you see that angle the narrative that Delavadova was trying to hurt someone on that play pretty much crumbles.

Dellavadolvar reminds me of Harpring. And I f'n loved the way Harp pissed off Kevin Garnett.

if you watch why he leg locked Gibson is because he took two forearms to the back of the head knocking his Azz to the ground with no call, so he leglocked Gibson so he couldn't jump for a rebound and got kicked in the butt for it.

Nah, I don't like it.
You play hard, but you don't play reckless. You don't go so hard that you are diving into people's knees and roller over ankles.
The dude sucks balls, so he plays that way because that's all he's got.
It's an unspoken rule that you don't do that. You can end someone's career with that.
I don't have any problem with what Horford did. Little punk deserved it.
I swear to god, that little troll better not go and injury Curry with that stupid ****.

When did he try to roll into someone's knees? I haven't seen all of the plays in question, but the Horford play was 100% dirty on Horford's part, and certainly not a case of Delly trying to roll into his knees.

....I'm with the Hack master on this one all the way! He takes out Curry in the Finals....and he's liable to get "capped!"

has Delly banged your sister ?? your hatred is kindof way out of proportion. Kyle Korver is a softc***k and just didn't want it as much as Delly. End of story. Moral of the story is don't play soft. Al Horford is a cheapshot taking sook, he was pulling the guy down onto him and then cries .... weak

Only Delladova knows his intent.
All I know is that there are 700 or so NBA players. Only Delladova has taken out three people's legs recently.
Pretty dang suspicious if you ask me. How can everyone else play without hurting other players but he can't?
No one wants to watch Delladova. People want to watch the players he is taking out. He is worthless to the league. He is easily replaceable. He needs to watch out or he will be replaced and become the BYU of the NBA...irrelevant and talking about the good old days...

Hack makes a very good point mostly overlooked by both players and even coaches! Playing "reckless" involves diving after loose balls, flying in the air to block shots, and in other ways jeopardizing both your well being and that of other players, be it opponents or even your own teammates! For example, what Stephen Curry did the other night that caused him to crash to the floor and almost break every bone in his body....was RECKLESS! The "risk/reward" factor of that play deemed it to be TOTALLY reckless on his part! You can call that "hustle" "playing to win" "giving 100%".....I call it stupid and reckless! You don't dive for loose balls or go flying through the air to block a shot to gain ONE possession, when you could easily get hurt, miss the rest of the game, the rest of the week, the rest of the month or possibly the rest of the season! You give 100%....but you must PROTECT yourself doing it!

Taj Gibson, Kyle Korver, Al Horford. Is it game one or two, that he rolls up on Thompson? Seems to be his MO.
Hey, I don't know intent, but I know three key players have either been hurt by him or attacked him for going after their legs. Let's see what happens in the Finals.
Name me one other player in the NBA that has either hurt, or had three players attack him for playing dirty.
I don't know intent, but it's some pretty damning evidence when he is the only guy out of 700+ with these issues.

That evidence is not nearly as damning as you claim because you are making it up. Here's the Gibson video:

How is that an intent to injure? And I can't imbed two videos in one post, but if you search
on the Horford incident you will find video that clearly shows Horford tackled Delevadova. There is a commonly played angle where it looks as if Delevadova is intentionally falling into him, but once you see the other angle there is no disputing that Horford is the one who causes that incident.
In other words, of the three incidents you cite there is only one where he might have intended to injure another player (Korver), and even in that incident a reasonable observer could conclude that he was simply going after the ball and an accident happened.

Here's the angle that makes it clear Horford drags Delavadova to the ground:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGAcFqJZs18
Then Horford drops an elbow on him, and you honestly believe this incident is evidence of Delavadova being dirty?

He said he didn't know intent.
Anyhow, what in the **** is the purpose of locking his legs around Gibson? Absolutely nothing good can come out of that. It is definitely an idiotic and dirty thing to do. How does posting a video of that prove his innocence? It just shows how stupid of a thing that was to do. Wrapping his legs around Gibson's has nothing to do with hustle and being a heady player, and everything to do with being a dick.
