I'm starting to think falling behind by 20 every game isn't the best strategy.

If the basketball gods are real, this will be a close game in the 4th quarter and Porzingis or someone else will foul out due to the hack a strategy.

He was clearly involved in a pick and roll there.

But yeah I agree. A business built on entertainment which has made countless rule changes for the purpose of entertainment still allowing intentional fouls off-ball is weird.

Ultimately it is difficult to make a clear rule change. If this ends up happening on the biggest stage (NBA Finals) I think we see rule changes, but until then it comes up infrequently enough for it not to matter in the grand scheme of things.

Also, just make 65% of your free throws.

Pritchard proving that he was clearly the deserved 6th man of the year over guys like Jerome and Beasley.

The Celtics are moving on these screens, but the Knicks really aren't trying to get through them. They're too quick to switch on everything. Plus if you're going to force the issue with the officials, do it when you're down 26 in the 4th quarter.
