Why would anyone bellyache about a call that went their teams way? This is what I don't get.

Lessons that fisher should learn.:
dDwill and melo can play together effectively.
Koq brings it on defense and energy
Jose has to shoot or sit (I'd put him on second unit)
Gallo or Jerian should attack. Knicks can be effective at a fast pace especially w dwill who can draw fouls.
Mix it up on offense. They ran a lot of plays from the weakside and I think the extra space (two man game) helped them squeeze out a few more buckets

melo played great tonight BUT he needs to play like this much more

Huh? Talking about one call right?

Apparently Melo needs to score 37 points a game and shoot 62% for fans to forgive him for getting fouled.

I don't think there is a fan of any team that likes Brothers. His awful calls are random and contest deciding.

Agree he's like an ump w a changing strike zone. He has a bad day every day

Have a habit of watching the came with no volume when the Knicks are away.

Did not realize it was a foul until Plumlee complained- until then I thought it was going to be a charging violation.

We deserved a call at that point, although the refs did their best to screw him/us with the non-call on the push.

As you saw tonight, Fish benched him the entire 4th and kept Gallo in and we were able to finish a close game and defended much better. If anything, I hope that Fish learned this lesson after tonight.

Also, Grant has to be in the rotation; don't understand the DNP tonight.

p.s. I have no problem with KP being benched in crunch time if he's not playing well or in bad matchups when a vet is playing well. Nothing wrong with that; he's still a rook.

Is that more of a foul than Melo got on his last shot in Sacto?

That's a foul all day long.

I hate that call. It's the Chris Paul / Dwyane Wade BS. Lillard had no intention of shooting, was just trying to draw a foul.

Lance has to go up straight...can't bite on the fake.

Easier said than done, though.

I agree - but Lillard also jumped into Lance. I wish they wouldn't call that crap when a guy clearly alters his natural shooting motion to jump into their defender. I wish they'd call an offensive foul on it. But Wade and CP3 have been doing it for years and it's become a standard call. I don't remember guys doing it before Wade and CP3.

I think Frazier and Monroe used to do it. Clyde was always pretty slick.

It just strikes me as sort of cheating - I don't like it being called. It's the same thing with the guys like Reggie Miller and JKidd who would kick their legs out on three pointers to draw foul calls. Seems cheap.

I hate seeing teams get the cheap fouls while we seem to get robbed of legitimate ones.
