Fouling on the floor could've been strategic and perhaps they were actually trying to put him on the line for two free throws in a three point game. However, I didn't see any contact after Brunson gathered himself to shoot.
I'm biased though. There were definitely missed calls both ways. I don't think the Knicks got homered though. Frankly, I'm more disappointed by the Pacers poor free throw shooting than by the number of opportunities. Pacers could be winning this series if they'd hit free throws as well as the Knicks have.
I'll add that if you want me to respond directly to a post of yours, please quote me. With this thread already up to 200 pages, I'm not reading every message. I'm used to the Pacer forum where our series thread is only 4 pages long.
Turner leans on him, but the Nembhard slap on his arm is the only foul-worthy contact IMO. And I dunno if Jalen's already gathering to get his shot up before he can be tactically fouled or if he's just fighting through and then starts going into his shooting motion. Either way we had plenty of chances to make that play meaningless but didn't.
Would be nice if the salty fans of already eliminated teams would stop complaining about the NBA being rigged now, but somehow I doubt they'll suddenly start to remember any of the calls that don't support their narrative

Brunson: So what are you paid to do?
