@Nick5p1a @TTS_CAM3 @RapSheet @MikeGarafolo I hope so, but we technically don’t even know that the coaching will be better either. We haven’t had a single game played yet — nobody can be deserving of a multi-year extension before a single game to see if the moves worked coming off 4 wins. Nobody.

@YankeeLineups @TTS_CAM3 @RapSheet @MikeGarafolo They literally almost beat the best teams in nfl it was coaching

The #Giants and GM Joe Schoen have agreed to terms on a multi-year extension to keep him working with John Harbaugh for years to come, per me and @MikeGarafolo. After a successful offseason, including the work during the NFL Draft, Schoen is rewarded with a new deal.

@Nick5p1a @TTS_CAM3 @RapSheet @MikeGarafolo This roster won 4 games last year. Obviously there was injuries and we’ve improved a few players through draft and free agency (which many other teams can say as well), but it’s too early to know if this is actually a “great roster”. Should have waited to see how this year goes.

@TTS_CAM3 @RapSheet @MikeGarafolo He built a great roster

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland I never agreed to any numbers. Feel free to go back and check — I haven’t seen the numbers so why would I blindly trust yours. You can feel free to provide your source for that. Also like I mentioned, he gets guarded more cautiously because of his flopping reputation. I see it.

@YankeeLineups @2KMVP @HoodiGarland But he doesn’t even get the calls on the said flops. We’ve literally agreed that he gets fouled 3-4 times per game. So acting as if he’s drawing 8-10 shooting fouls every single game from flopping is just not realistic. He shot 25 times last night and got fouled on 3 of them.

People really watch Shai fry teams with that All Time middy but only wanna talk about his free throws

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland If the vast majority of players are going to have to regularly play through contact without getting a whistle when they are lightly fouled, then SGA should have to play through it too — but he throws himself to the floor to get calls that others don’t get. It’s pathetic.

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland And SGA isn’t the only culprit, but he’s one of the biggest ones. The same way there are different levels to scoring and we put more eyes on people who score more, there are different levels to flopping too and he is a top tier flopper.

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland If he goes 6-12 FG (50%) with 8 drawn fouls on missed shots, and let’s say 4 of those 8 were called because of his flopping — then if he didn’t flop, he would have gone 6-16 (38%) from the field. Notice the crazy difference in FG% there.

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland If all of his flops that were *called* fouls BECAUSE of the flopping (whether they were fouls or not without it notwithstanding) were turned into missed FG attempts instead, the dude might be shooting 40% from the field

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland oh my goodness put on your thinking hat. Do you know how many times KAT is absolutely obliterated on his drives to the basket with no call? And he shoots 50% FG. Imagine if those “missed shots” were turned into fouls — what do you think that does to his FG%

@YankeeLineups @2KMVP @HoodiGarland You literally just said he gets bailed out that’s why he shoots high efficiency. your arguing about 3-4 shots per games that he gets “bailed out on” and making that be the only reason he shoots efficiently lol

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland If the entire league got the calls he got by flopping the way he does, then everyone’s efficiency would go way up and his wouldn’t look nearly as impressive. That was the point I was making on why his efficiency is over-rated. That should have been obvious.

@YankeeLineups @2KMVP @HoodiGarland Don’t see how I’m off the point. You literally argued efficiency then swapped to “technically they are fouls but they don’t get called” Again, if it’s a foul by the book, why are you upset with a player trying to draw it?

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland And also, considering the entire league knows him as one of the premiere floppers in the game, I do think he’s absolutely defended more cautiously (from a fouling perspective) than most others. Which again doesn’t mean there isn’t fouling, but probably not as much.

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland Don’t put words in my mouth jackass — especially when I quite explicitly said the opposite. He gets fouled. He also doesn’t get fouled. And in BOTH of those scenarios, he is flopping like a fish and ends up dead on the ground every f*cking time. It’s embarrassing.

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland So even in that scenario, where there is a foul, it’s a problem for the NBA that it only really gets called for the players that dance like a fish in the air. And he’ll do it with non-fouls too, but my point is it doesn’t matter — it’s the excessive flops that’s the issue

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland It’s like you’re incapable of staying on point. If someone lightly pushes you while you’re going up for a shot, that’s a foul. It happens on 90% of the shots in the NBA and hardly gets called. But Shai will flail his entire body to draw that call.

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland And a decent number of them are technically fouls by the book, but the reason the foul gets called is because of the flop and not because of the contact. That same contact on other guards does not get called with the same frequency because they don’t embellish as much as he does.

@hfalls25 @2KMVP @HoodiGarland Part of why his efficiency is so high is because most of the shots he misses gets bailed out by foul calls from flopping. Dude is always on the floor. So what would count as a “missed shot” for most people counts as “no shot + free throws” for him. That is great for efficiency!

@Richard_H96 @HeatMovin Other fanbases should probably start getting on board with it, because it’s the most fitting nickname he could possibly have

@HeatMovin It’s usually only Knicks fans that call him that

is his nickname not captain clutch? they legit called him that after this play

@Bobjones165876 @PulseCleveland A guard on a big at the 3 point line usually is a favorable matchup. Especially if that big isn’t a great defender. KAT has been solid for sure, though, and played that one very well — but it’s still Mitchell against a 7fter with some open space so….

@PulseCleveland You’re right Mitchell did not get a good shot but good lord at least set yourself to get a favorable matchup at the very least

He literally alligator armed a floater that would’ve put us up 5 with 60 seconds left?

@RasslinWalrus @paulsbballshow @NBA_NewYork That is generally the case, yes. A lot of people don’t understand the words/terms/phrases they hear, they just parrot it like mindless drones who don’t care to take the time to educate themselves. Quite frustrating

@YankeeLineups @paulsbballshow @NBA_NewYork Exactly. Micro just means small, as in "a small sample size of time on the court." This is more evidence that people who constantly throw around the term "woke" are usually idiots. 🤷

“James is a good isolation defender…I was a little more upset with our back line D…Everybody’s putting it on James…Sure, some of it was him…Sometimes micro experiences get exaggerated” - Kenny Atkinson on Knicks targeting James Harden during comeback

@paulsbballshow @NBA_NewYork You’ve got to work on your reading comprehension my friend.

@paulsbballshow @NBA_NewYork Are we having two completely different conversations? I didn’t say a damn thing about Harden or defense, I commented on you connecting the term “micro experiences” to “woke/generational“ talk when there is absolutely no connection.
