That’s what I thought. You have no clue what you’re talking about.

Really? I’m as big a B Knight fan as anybody, but lets be real. Did he got the foul? Yeah. But he definitely wasn’t going for the foul. He was going for the block and fouled Deandre as a result of being completely out of place to make a play on the ball resulting in an and 1, the exact opposite of what you want to happen.

If you try what B Knight did 10 times against the likes of a dunking center/pf, you’re likely to get dunked at least 7 or 8 of those times and you’re far less likely to block the ball like Brandon was tyring to do. It’s a gutsy play, and I appreciate the heart, but it’s just not a smart one. There’s no two ways around that.

Perhaps, but what Isiah and Brandon both do in that situation is set a precedent. They both draw a line in the sand putting their respective teams on notice. The thing I’m proud of is that he separated himself from the pack and demonstrated the intangibles of a leader. He did with stepping up on the court and stepping up to face the backlash.

his job was to foul the sub 50% free throw shooter. he did that, he just didn’t expect to be thrown aside like he was hit by a freight train. he did exactly what the scouting report said

I’m not saying you don’t contest every shot you can, but you have to know how and be smart about it. If you’re a pg in the paint, you’re supposed to swipe if the big brings the ball low before he goes up, you don’t jump up and try and block a center head on, especially one known for his dunking. That’s just not a smart move.

@Ryank
Because winning pg’s get posterized trying to block alley oops head on, right? I’ll wait for you to name one that got posterized like that and thought it was a good idea afterwards…

Knight’s mental toughness just went up 3 notches in my book. Good for him.

When doesn’t he “slip out of the locker room without talking to the media”? You’re acting like he doesn’t try to do this after every game.
