Thibs gave Tatum that free bucket so he would have time to let Brunson win the game

ALlow the two, take a timeout, then you can hit a 2 to win.

NY should shoot it with less than 5 seconds.

If Brunson doesn't get trapped I don't know what to say.

They're obviously never going to call it in that situation (and they seem to allow more and more in the league in general every year), but that was such a moving screen by Horford on OG on that. He was like a TE out in space blocking for a running back there.

He is still a superstar, I was always of the "He is Scottie Pippen and Brad built a stacked af team to protect him"

And Scottie was a bad mf'er. He just wasn't MJ.

Ice man

But instead he gets attacked ruthlessly because every great team needs to have "the man", and for the average fan he's not good enough to be that.

Didn't see that before I hit post but ironically that's how I'd picture Pippen winning a game too, with a straight line drive dunk with his superior athleticism.

Was he purposely fouling?
