There is clearly an embellishment by Brunson.

So legal guarding position is directly in the path... and square to the dribbler. I can see why ref made this a blocking call since Brunson isn't quite there but it's toughshow more

Incredible pass by Haliburton. But HOW did Siakam get... so wide open?! Brunson simply cannot run out to a guy at the 3pt line when he's guarding Siakam heading to the paint. Bridges would never have had a chance to cover for Brunson in time.show more

The worry is that players can add to the... anger at the refs by their reactions to the foul calls. Robinson clearly is upset at the refs for this call, there was even groans from the crowd during the replay. But watch the replay: this is as textbook a foul as you can get. He crashes into Embiid and dislodges him. But now we've got fans who are outraged for no reason 🤷‍♂️show more

Well, the foot to foot contact by Strus is... the obvious foul. As for the grab by Brunson's right hand, there's something there but it looks like it dissipates quickly enough to allow them to play thru itshow more

The push off by SGA is the one move... I think should be called more often. Especially when he extends the arm fully. But don't forget: the defender is already moving in that direction so sometimes it looks worse than it is. I'm not sure there was a ton of influence by this push off thoshow more

As a former energetic (really good) defender, I'd be... very frustrated at this veer step into me that we see Brunson utilize. But the rules are clear it's certainly not an offensive foul when the defender isn't directly in the path and square to the driver.show more

This embellishment call on Marchment is absurd.

There is a clearly winner here

Engineering might be super sub-par in Midnight, but it... does have one amazing thing: an embellishment that causes races with special jump animations to ALWAYS use that special animation. It's useable even by non-engineers too, and doesn't count towards the 2-embellishment cap.show more

CJ McCollum is 12/16 when guarded by Jalen Brunson... this seriesshow more

I'm having an interesting discussion w/ some coaches about... whether u can teach players to be creative passers, inspired by this pass from Olivia Miles. My 1st thought is that, more than anything, it's tied to a specific (out of the box, unconventional) personality trait. Discussshow more

This was what people were warning about once SGA... got to the playoffs, as there is no whistle on this playshow more

Jalen Brunson gets pranked by his father Rick Brunson... and Patrick Ewingshow more

For you gather-step-haters: This Maryland game-winner is a travel... by the rulebook. He gathers the ball with his right foot down (pivot foot), then lifts it and puts it back down—travel. BUT this happens so often on drives, no one bats an eye.show more

Folks, we need to have an intervention, here. THIS... is the exact reason why you foul up by 3. Wisconsin even called a time out to set up their defense, which was suboptimal since Illinois didn't have any timeouts! You may have heard me screaming in the greater LA areashow more

So glad you mentioned Bird. Here is the clip... of him saying that he focuses his eyes on the rim **BEFORE** he shoots the ball. But you can clearly see he follows the ball with his eyes **AFTER** the release - a trait almost all the great shooters have.show more
