Knicks not going to have anything on them.

Smart WHAT are you doing??

[jpotter33]

Tatum is just going to have to start flopping on his three point attempts where there's contact. Never gets those calls.

[jpotter33]

Joe has to reign in Smart. He's just trying to do way too much. No confidence that'll actually happen though, as it's a tough ask.

Looks like Joe is trying to address it with him, though.

Makeup call, lol.  Smart was in Randle’s cylinder.

Thought the previous one should have been an offensive foul but not that one.

[slamtheking]

Randle should be tossed.  Grant was tossed for a less flagrant bump earlier this year

[jpotter33]

Okay, good D, Smart. You got the call. But no more. Joe needs to recognize this and either sit him or change the strategy to avoid this blowing up more.

[SCeltic34]

Smart isn't having a particularly good game, but he's playing hard.  The first possession of the half resulted in a Tatum 3 because Smart sprinted down the floor.

[celticinorlando]

Randle should be tossed for that bump

How is Randle not ejected??

Agreed. You knew Smart was going to try and sell something like that the moment he entered Randle’s air space.

Just call this a foul and let’s get this game going. These reviews are ridiculous.

[coco]

That’s what I mean by Smart playing “the game within the game”.
But he often gets caught forgetting about just playing basketball.

It worked out for him this time; but the refs aren’t falling for it as often

Why would you want a star player ejected on a cheap call?

I thought bumping the ref was an automatic ejection!

Did you not see him bump the ref?
