It must seem like a different era in basketball back then when it was automatic that teams would foul near the end of regulation time to shut out the game.
What gives? Is there some sort of gentleman's rule where you have to give the opponent a chance? I've always questioned this.
This happened in the Pacers vs Bucks game too, although Pacers won it back in OT.
Teams are afraid of fouling a 3 point shooter in the act of shooting even from 40 feet out.
Blame Stephen curry (and to a later level trae young) and others trying to be in the act of shooting from way deep outside.
It’s a huge risk to try to grab the ball handler who has instincts just to jack any shot if he knows he will be fouled.
No, the strat of fouling with the lead is to foul them BEFORE they attempt the 3, put them on the line for 2 and dribble out the next possession.

thibs wanted the foul. makes maxey’s shot that much more cold blooded cause he shot it from the far out so they wouldn’t get a chance to

Could have fouled a few seconds before that when Embiid had the ball

He's right, what has Curry ever done in the NBA. Guys the size of Curry and Brunson can never do anything in the NBA.
Ummm Curry is like 6'3 with shoes

Just circling back to your NyC comment - all the restaurants had A ratings. Are they really not clean? I was also impressed bc I didn’t see any homeless really anywhere and I felt safe on the subway. 2 much fake news going around…they make it seem like the subways are dangerous

My brain hurt, no, my existence itself hurt from watching how God awful they were tonight.
The Celtics have the easiest path to the finals ever. These teams, and their stars just can't handle post season pressure.

the subways can be safe if you know how to mind your business… but it def has a lot of chaos and lawlessness going on by the homeless and emotional disturbed people mostly, or the criminals who gonto jail repeatedly and come out 3 seconds later with a slap on the wrist with the bail reform laws here.. i’m a train conductor so i’m underground almost everyday and i know

Gotcha….we took it from museum of natural history to little Italy and back to midtown. Also took it a few other times only during the day. I didn’t see anyone weird at all. Also didn’t see anyone weird on the streets either. Nothing I’m not used too in Phoenix. We have way more druggies about here than I saw…just thought the media was over blowing stuff
