    5/8: Arrighetti vs. Rodon

    Soto, Judge, and to his usual inconsistent degree Stanton are ripping 110 mph liners with unusual frequency right now. This is the potential of the lineup

    Brunson - McConnell was like 2 ponies in heat. I'd watch that again

    He can leave Haliburton out there, McConnell should be in for Nembhard anyway

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    Brunson initiates a lot of it but there's usually an enormous amount of contact between him and whoever is defending him. The Brunson / McConnell battle was amazing, they were basically riding each other back and forth across the court. Carlisle being too zen to break glass and use McConnell in...

    They immediately felt OG's absence there at the end with Toppin basically galloping around untouched. He was fragile even pre-Thibs, so who knows

    He certainly contributes to it, but I'm obligated to list the injuries here for the record: - Randle had a shoulder dislocation from being hit on a drive - Bogdanovic had his foot stepped on / tangled up with Batum's while diving for a loose ball in his 1st minute of play - Robinson was...

    I personally think it was just the NBA equivalent of a "lazy" call. I was watching that play somewhat distractedly on a small screen, and in realtime I assumed it was probably a kickball just given it had some of the usual makings of one (although honestly the letter of the law means it...

    I will say, in the prior series with the 76ers the L2M report for multiple games did call out the officiating on game-deciding plays without seeming to try to balance it in the other direction. In this case, seems like less so. They were never going to reverse course on that illegal screen call...

    Whoever called that the NBA would do forensic grade analysis to find a missed 3 seconds call on Indiana nailed it.

    5/7: Verlander vs. Gil

    Judge's AB against Verlander in the 3rd there was really good. Took all of the right pitches, and fouled off 2 tough fastballs at the very top of the zone to stay alive. I don't often see him having ABs like that off of righties that can locate fastball and breaking pitches

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    Interesting, I recalled it being out of bounds (maybe they changed their rationale? the play-by-play shows no shot clock violation then), but... he WAS out of bounds, potentially 2x. Hard to view disallowing that basket as the wrong call. It was also 3 minutes into the game, obviously. The...

    He did have a pretty forceful, entertaining rant about Divincenzo's acting job on the Turner moving screen at the end.

    Exhausted McConnell was an unstoppable force... in any case, he checked out with 9:25 left in the 4th quarter. He probably had 15-20 minutes of rest time by the 3 minute mark. To me, putting him back in over Nembhard there, even if it's pushing things slightly, is an easy call

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    The first of those 4 was disallowed because Haliburton stepped out of bounds, not because of a shot clock violation. Not sure that one applies. I still think the most impactful factor was Carlisle not unleashing the McConnell monster. He was kind of demolishing the Knicks on both ends. He...

    This is the best angle on it: View: https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1787676407277179239 The ball contact is relatively clean but he clearly did bump Turner's body first, so yeah, pretty bad. The Knicks had a similar one go against them (ie a pretty standard / clear foul get overturned...

    You would think if playing your best players 45+ minutes every night was truly a repeatable skill with no downsides, it would have been discovered it already by others (like the ferocious, tenacious Heat culture conditioning people). Hart may be an odd outlier, but as a whole they are probably...

    I think the Pacers had under 10 rebounds in the entire 2nd half. Was just eyeballing the numbers so I cannot confirm.

    Deuce actively played poorly, especially on D. Basically allowing straighline drives / fastbreaks to McConnell repeatedly. They really need him, at this point it's just a question of when they'll wear down. Achiuwa didn't really have an opportunity to play well or poorly.

    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    In general though, Denver kind of looks like crap. Murray is the least impressive part to me, he's foul hunting like Brunson but without Brunson's intent to actually make the shot / score.
