Why the NBA still allow hack-a tactics to be used? Off the ball intentional fouls should be called what they are, unsportsmanlike fouls: 2 free throws and the ball.

Nah, you're a professional basketball player, you should be able to make more than 50% of your free throws.

Offensive players throwing themselves into defenders for a foul is so irritating.

18 Knick Turnovers, this is why the Heat have stayed within striking distance. Giving the other team so many extra possessions may bite the knicks in the butt here.

Butler just cost them the game

Missed a ft, AWFUL rotation to let Hartenstein get a tip dunk and now fouls RJ on the rebound

Putting in Hartenstein was a good adjustment by Thibs, kind of confused why they don't play him more
