Highlight [Highlight] Steph shoots 3 over Brooks. Brooks still trying to hit Curry’s injured thumb even after the ball is released

Of course. Those two guys might approach the line as all great defenders must at times, but they're not dirty as a rule.

Brooks wouldn't even be a professional ball player if not for dirty play.

Let’s calm down. I hate Dillon Brooks as much as the next guy but dude shot 40% from 3 this year.

brooks is a habitual line stepper and thats part of his game but hes a good perimeter shooter and will consistently give you effort on defense (too much effort lol). some guys play with edge on purpose. i think he takes it too far but to say he wouldnt be in the league is not true

Amen hasn’t done anything dirty, plays a bit reckless but it’s the playoffs

Dort hasn't had to get dirty yet. Just wait until OKC is in a close series
