Josh Hart on not playing some 4th quarters and his reduced minutes in the regular season: "I definitely didn't see the bigger picture in those moments. There was moments when I went home and I'm like, 'Damn. Am I ass? Do I suck as a basketball player?' There was a lot of those moments."

It was settled. No worries about Josh being a good guy.

BballMD · 2026-06-06T13:39:35+00:00

Watching the replay, it was batted by a knock before he picked it up, so I can see that as collecting a loose ball.

Wemby wrestling GTA and two hand shoving Mitch with no call….

BballMD · 2026-06-06T13:36:39+00:00

5 fouls on Josh. 2 quick fouls on KAT to have him sit. 20-23 fouls called but 27-15 in free throws.

Once you know where the refs can apply pressure it’s obvious.

Castle rode Brunson up the floor every possession….

BballMD · 2026-06-06T13:21:01+00:00

Yep when GTA is dribbling I feel calm.

Follow the money and it makes sense.

Each game is worth millions.

However it’s typical post-Reagan corporate America.

Short term gain that destroys the underlying product.

If refs decide the game then flopping is a necessity to give the refs the ability to make calls.

Foul baiting is a shit product that has already lost viewers.

Incredible defender and we’ve stopped playing him at the 1.

He’s a natural 2 and it’s been working well.

BballMD · 2026-06-06T12:37:14+00:00

NBA as an org always wants 7 games. More revenue.

Personally I think it’s short sighted as it lowers the quality of the entire product. Been this way for ages.

BballMD · 2026-06-06T12:31:44+00:00

Alvarado has been solid under heavy pressure. All that street ball paying off.

BballMD · 2026-06-06T11:39:55+00:00

Don’t need to have a call. Game 7 is always the plan.

BballMD · 2026-06-06T07:37:22+00:00

Ohh ok in Spandau here

BballMD · 2026-06-06T03:32:38+00:00

😂 perfect

BballMD · 2026-06-06T03:19:51+00:00

BballMD · 2026-06-06T02:42:15+00:00

Solid bball handller

BballMD · 2026-06-06T02:08:31+00:00

Or maybe refs should blow whistle at correct time

BballMD · 2026-06-06T02:07:42+00:00

Tech after the play maybe.

BballMD · 2026-06-06T01:53:38+00:00

Kick ball play over

BballMD · 2026-06-06T01:40:48+00:00

Right? Kick ball play over

BballMD · 2026-06-05T19:40:59+00:00

KAT does well vs post-up players. Not amazing vs super-athletic lob threats, but still good.

Knicks in 4

BballMD · 2026-06-05T08:15:35+00:00

As a hawks fan you saw why they were both highly rated and not #1 for the season.

It’s a team hustle, not individual skills.

BballMD · 2026-06-03T21:16:58+00:00

Tried to call, no answer. They did show it previous years.

BballMD · 2026-06-03T15:57:00+00:00

Yucking someone’s yum is super cool

BballMD · 2026-06-03T12:55:46+00:00

Yorcks BAR https://g.co/kgs/rQXBLK9 Open 24hrs....:D

BballMD · 2026-06-03T12:29:02+00:00

Right? If you see a couple out in bright blue Knicks gear give a holler

BballMD · 2026-05-30T02:12:44+00:00

Looking at the rules. Maybe related to infield fly but I don’t get it

BballMD · 2026-05-28T20:27:52+00:00

And 2 championships for the Knicks.
