Every time Julian Champagnie takes a 3-pointer, he is looking to step on toes.
“If I see your feet near me," he says, "I’m going to search them out.”
Fun talk w/Champagnie, Fox, Harper & others about the NBA's closeout rule, how to avoid and exploit it:

This doesn’t bother me & if you’re a Knicks fan it shouldn’t either. Brunson does it more than any player in the league, all that I ask for it be called consistently both ways
Not only has Adam Silver been a champion for smaller markets… why are we discussing the San Antonio Spurs like they’re the Kings, they won 5 championships from 99-14 wouldn’t be crazy for the league to herald in another dynasty under that same team
1. It's not the 90s anymore so that's kind of straightforward.
2. If you switched where both of these teams were from I can guarantee with absolute certainty Matt Moore would be arguing the league was conspiring against small markets to push the big market New York Knicks.
If you take away hack a Mitch spurs have shot 33 more free throws than us in 3 games
I don’t like blaming refs. I never do it. I’m just asking for a fair shot at this thing that’s it.
@undercoverNBA@NBA@OfficialNBARefs If they swept the one on Alvarado under the rug, they’ll definitely sweet the push on Brunson under the rug. He would’ve been suspended already if Adam Silver cared about the integrity of the game and not his ratings.
Just for the record the @NBA@OfficialNBARefs are allowed to review plays after the game and assess flagrant fouls retroactively. Even if you wanted to ignore this one since Brunson’s identical flagrant was a dumb call anyway, Wemby’s Game 2 foul on Jose Alvarado and shove of Brunson this game would make him suspended if he wasn’t the league’s golden boy
@neomarioism It’s almost a perfect correlation for the Knicks:
-peak Towns impact=ceiling version of the Knicks
-reduce Towns impact=lesser version of the Knicks
Mike Brown gotta figure out how to not let this inverted ghost take Towns out of the game
