Brunson is the rare case of FTA > than two years ago where FTA for top players were all time high. Now only few are above 8 FTA per 100 poss. Trae is much lover than two years ago, my boy Luka also. Brunson and SGA, Embid “adapted to new foul rules the best” (; This must be love 😉
And I agree that frustration seems to be growing…
I hate tick tack fouls and foul hunting, but it’s worse to have this kind of inconsistent shit we have now from refs. Someone, Malone or Udoka will sucker punch a ref one of these days.

The Warriors-Rockets game officiating was worse than ours. The NBA decided to allow more physicality this season but this is applied very inconsistently. At times the refs whistle a foul for nothing, and at times they allow jaw-dropping physical plays to go on or miss blatant calls. Well, it’s tough to understand what constitutes is a foul these days. Teams have trouble adjusting and frustration is growing.

I didn’t see a lack of effort either. Rather I saw we had trouble rebounding against a big team, especially with Towns in foul trouble, and their defense in the second half was very good

I didnt see a lack of effort. Without towns on the floor they had a huge size advantage and the ball just seemed to bounce their way. We put up a lot of threes but a lot of them weren’t perfect looks. With OG in particular, I thiught be didnt get a lot of really clean threes:, ie feet set, in rhythm, without a strong contest because he doesn’t have a quick release. He forced at least five threes for different reasons. They seemed active on defense considering how bad they are supposed to be outside of Daniels.

Also the refs blew a bunch of calls obviously

It’s strange but I did want to see them in Vegas. It’s stupid but I thought last year was a lot of fun.

We used to bully teams. This season we are often bullied. We used to outwork teams. This season other teams outwork us.

I’ve been trying to keep an open mind about Mikal Bridges, but he truly does seem to suck. Not a plus defender, and a “meh” offensive player.

Prove me wrong, Mikal! I’d be more than willing to admit that I was wrong about you. But you can’t defend for shit.

Knicks came into tonight scoring 118 points per game. They scored 100

The Knicks gave up 108 points, they did not lose because of defense

That was immensely frustrating. Much will be said about it and rightfully so, but holy shot, Dyson Daniels is a fucking menace. That’s the best defense anyone has played on Brunson. He took him out of the game.

Mitch can’t come back soon enough

Not sure if you heard, but they are talking late January or even February now.
