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.

These new gen offensive players too quick and will be in the act of shooting any where in the court. They see it coming. If McBride tried to grab Maxey just as he cross half court that shot is going up. I don’t know if it goes in from 45 feet but that’s 3 free throws.

How often do you watch NBA? Lots of inbound double teams traps etc. It's still being done even in these playoffs this year. 2024. To add, there's also the concept called foul away from the ball. Yeah it can be and is often done.

Heck Thibs apparently called for fouling but the guys guarding Biid and Maxey forgot to do it! That was their end.

Generally yes , but if you referring to game 5 , NO WAY , Maxey did it on his own terms with less support than Brunson had

For sure. Brunson also has to do it all himself.

Yall New Jersey fans always coming with nonsense Embiid was getting hard doubles anytime he put the ball on the floor, respect to Maxey, but Jalen isn't playing with ANYONE that gets a double.

Don’t feed the troll. Posting **** like that is disingenuous, and a means to bait a reaction.

If Brunson played next to Embiid, his shooting splits would be much higher due to defenses not being able to scheme completely on him.

We all saw how Maxey carried the sixers when Embiid went down. They slid all the way down the rankings. He wouldn’t have led this Knicks team the way Brunson did.

That being said Maxey is a great talent and did his thing tonight. But if Embiid wasn’t the first option, he wouldn’t be putting up these type of numbers.

And out of this doubles triples he was terrible , turnover after turnover

So you all Nix fans actually attribute Biid turnovers to Maxeys advantage?

It’s funny , Knicks gonna Knick is also true to their fans I guess

The East Rutherford Nets fans are like the angry baby mother, you can always bet on them to just come in with hate that is veiled like some objective discussion.

Respect where it's due -- we boofed it and Maxey is so legit for those shots. Gotta find more scoring on our side.

[bronxknicksfan1]

Praises to Maxey for having an all time game today. Was wondering when Philly would just start running the offense through him.

[Butch718]

It’s also pretty pathetic for a Nets fan to come in this thread with the sole purpose of trolling. That’s some real
loser ****.

Spending too much time underground makes you feel this way ( like taking crazy pills)

Donte needs to be better. He was awful the last couple of games.

Isn’t Joel Embiid on one leg supposedly better than every player in this series?

[eyeatoma]

Jon Stewart, love that guy...

Less support than Brunson? Dude literally has Joel Embiid being doubled on almost every possession while Brunson has no handle Anunoby and I Forgot how to shoot again Josh Hart to take pressure off him.
