J.E. Skeets

It feels like on every play.

And then suddenly start of the fourth quarter, they call one on a cat.

Right after that, they call one on Bridges fighting like Kelvin Johnson, and it's like, okay, that's those early fouls that get you into foul trouble, obviously get you into the bonus, and then a bunch of free throws.

And so you're like, what the hell?

Are we doing this or are we not doing this?

Again, it's that inconsistency, and it's not easy, but that pisses off players, coaches, and fan bases more than anything.

It's like, call it one way and just stick with it, but you're switching it up mid-game here.

I know you have to adapt, though, but...

Yeah, and I mean, the refs are adapting a little bit as well.

Like as tensions are going higher, they're going to start calling the foul.

So you have to be aware that now is like a heavy foul calling time.

And I would say one thing that's been consistent through three games this series, you can be very physical from 25 feet to the hoop, but outside of 25 feet, if you're grabbing guys, they're going to call that a foul for sure.

They're more likely to call it the further away you are for whatever reason, like the freedom of movement they wanted out there.

There's also that weird play where it was like,

deflected on the sideline on the top sideline of our screen so then the Spurs want to do a quick sub so that they can decide if they want to challenge the play that was a weird one so Harper is just supposed to I guess go to the scorers table instead he runs onto the court they start play and then they're like wait a second he wasn't supposed to sub we've got six players on the court

That was odd as well.

That was pretty unusual the way that all transpired, and it looked like the Spurs are getting away with having six guys on the court for a half second.

So, I mean, if I'm the Knicks fans and I'm in that arena and all the calls are going against us, all the reviews are going against us, they're letting me play with six guys for literally a split second, I would be ferocious as well.

I can't stand these coaches.

They figured out this move where we pretend we're going to have somebody sub into the game.
