Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia slid under a jump-shot from Kawhi Leonard in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, causing Leonard to suffer an ankle injury after landing on Pachulia’s foot.<br />
<br />
The play has been debated and dissected ever since, with plenty of folks believing that what Pachulia did was dirty at best, and intentional at worst. One of those with the latter opinion is Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, who ripped Pachulia for his actions the very next day.<br />
<br />
In an interview with USA Today’s Sam Amick, Pachulia explained why he believed that rant from Popovich was directly responsible for the threats on social media that his family received.<br />
<br />
“I don’t blame everything on Pop, but what he said had a lot of influence (and) you had a lot of people where, unfortunately, you can’t control what everybody’s intelligence is,” Pachulia, who has an eight-year-old son, a seven-year-old son, and a four-year-old daughter with his wife, told USA TODAY Sports on Sunday. “(Fans) just hear the message, and it’s, ‘Ok, Pop said so and now let’s do this.’<br />
<br />
It’s just wrong. You’ve got to think, and realize. Threaten me, but don’t threaten my wife or say something about my kids. It’s just wrong.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Me as a person, as a man, I don’t mind dealing with it. But I hate to see my family deal with it. My wife and my kids who have nothing to do with it, who are very innocent. … I just hate my family going through that. They don’t deserve that. … I’m not blaming everything on (Popovich), but he was a very big part of it.”</blockquote>
<br />
Pachulia said that extra security was hired to guard the entrance to his kids’ school as a result of those threats — which he clearly believes were incited by Popovich’s words.<br />

“Look at what happened at the school,” Pachulia said. “It was unfortunate. They had to get extra security because we are living in a world today where social media is so active, you can find any news you want to, hear any news you want to, and obviously it’s a hot topic lately. They just had hired extra security for the entrance, and make sure nobody goes in the school. … It’s just not fair. It does upset me.”</blockquote>

Kevin Love doesn’t see the Cleveland Cavaliers as underdogs, and neither does Steve Kerr.</div>

The Warriors coach, who’s been out since early in the playoffs due to complications from back surgery, was filling the team’s media obligations Monday as acting coach Mike Brown battles the flu.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
“They are the champions,” said Kerr. “We’re not. I saw the quote from Kevin Love where he said he was surprised. I’m surprised, too! Like, what the hell is everybody talking about? Are you kidding me?”</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Earlier this week Love called it “funny” that the Cavs are being viewed as underdogs.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
“At the end of the day, we are defending out title,” Love said. “We’re trying to repeat, which is hard to do. I think we will use it as fuel, we’ll use it as motivation, but the idea of playing into it? It’s tough for me to say that is the case. I don’t feel like we’re underdogs.”</blockquote>

But the entire USA TODAY NBA team picked the Warriors to ultimately win, citing their rest, their motivation from last year’s Finals collapse, and the not-so-small addition of Kevin Durant. By the way, the former MVP is in as good a place as he’s been heading into these Finals.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
“They’re a great team, they’re the champs,” Kerr said. “We’re trying to take what they took from us last year.”</blockquote>

Kerr said it’s unlikely he’d coach Game 1, but he didn’t completely rule out the possibility.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
“As of right now, I will not coach Thursday night,” he said. “It’s still up in the air.<br />
“I’m ready, but I’m not ready to coach yet. I’m still feeling a lot of the effects of what I’ve got going on.” </blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Game 1 is Thursday night at 9 ET. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Golden State Warriors made NBA history by reaching the NBA Finals with a perfect 12-0 postseason record, the first time that's ever happened in pro basketball history. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But because of the league's oft-expanding playoff system, it's not the first time a team has made the Finals with an unblemished postseason mark. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Lakers of 1989 and 2001 both went 11-0 going into the Finals, having played one fewer game than Golden State thanks to the old best-of-five format in the first round.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Things quickly changed in the Finals, however. The '89 team lost Game 1 and then Games 2, 3 and 4 to get swept by the Bad Boy Pistons. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The '01 Lakers of Kobe and Shaq also dropped Game 1, this time in the classic Allen Iverson/Ty Lue battle. That L.A. team, however, quickly rebounded and won four straight, capping the postseason with a record 15-1 mark and leaving enthusiasts of sideline stepping disappointed.</div>
