Stephen A. Smith calls Zaza Pachulia’s play against Kawhi Leonard “dirty” and picks Wizards over Celtics in Game 7, saying John Wall will have his moment #NBAPlayoffs [VIDEO]

Yesterday, the Golden State Warriors received a major bailout, when the Spurs lost Kawhi Leonard. Before he went down, the Spurs were up by 23 points. The Warriors were getting torched on both ends of the floor, but Steph Curry and Kevin Durant led a powerful comeback.

Zaza Pachulia is the man San Antonio Spurs fans hate the most, right now. The Spurs know losing Game 1 and Kawhi Leonard may have possibly cost them the season. Currently, the Spurs are in the conference finals for the first time since 2014.

Stephen A. Smith gave his assessment of the Warriors/Spurs Game 1, saying he thought Zaza Pachulia’s play was dirty, but didn’t know him well enough to call him a dirty player. Then, the conversation shifted to the Wizards and the Celtics, where Stephen A. chose the Wizards to win, tonight, citing John Wall’s need to step up. But, he gave Isaiah Thomas his props.
