Clear push off from Brunson.

Offensive players get too much leeway you can't play D on a star these days.

I'm surprised they didn't call a flagrant foul on Duren there...

And Brunson doing the same crap again before the tie up. He’s an utter embarrassment to basketball

Refs late to called the assaults on Beasley at the rim but Brunson gets ghost fouls lol. I'm so against NY right and it feels right

I hate Brunson's foul hunting, he does that head jerk every time he drives and I''m glad the refs aren't falling for it

Hopefully Thibs is fired after these playoffs, when ever they end for us. And we hire a coach that runs an actual offense rather than lettign Brunson try to foul bait his way through 22sec of the shot clock before throwing up a contested shot
