How do you legit give that offensive foul to Towns lol? Smaller players are rewarded far too often.
What happened to punishing flops?

Done nothing tonight offensively either.
He is just not a good fit in.this current Knicks
They already had a superior two way wing player in OG.

Tatum 4-14. I hope he never gets overrated because he’s Paul George on the Celtics.

Well the coach refuses to play Mitch to start quarters or halves because he will bench him once muzzula hacks him once
A smart coach would start Mitch and let those dummies get themselves into the bonus every quarter nice and early and force the issue

About that OG offensive call: refs forgot that this is an entertainment league first, sports league second. You don't take way that kind of highlight play, that's the kind of play everyone is tuning in to see.

I thought it was the right call. You have to give the defense something on drives to the hoops. It wasn't part of that play but offensive players are now allowed to aggressively push off with their off arm on the defender. In addition the NBA doesn't do much play on. On any type of interaction like that it is either block or charge.
So I think if you don't want a offensive foul there you have to give the D something in return or accept the game will get even more tilted towards offense.
I disagree. You shouldn't be able to walk up and plant yourself outside of the restricted area after a guy has already gathered and committed to the dunk.

Yes, but that’s Thibs, just no creativity on both ends… (agree with you they have to try the jumbo frontline more)

The Knicks have scored a grand total of 13 pts so far in the 3Q. i thought they found their groove already in that second but apparently not.

That's a terrible call. Need to give space to land.
