It is and it isn’t, 100% I hear you but at the same time it introduces an entirely different chess match for both teams that adds more to the drama overall. Mitch Robinson is a key, essential player for the Knicks and needs to play, but he has one major major weakness. Other way to look at it from a Knicks perspective is depending on when Mitch is out there, Knicks will be in the bonus the rest of the quarter after four offensive positions
Well I mean for the most part terrible free throw shooters are the only the “hack-a-(insert player)” is used, but I mean fouling someone on a fast break drive to make what was a sure fire 2 points potentially 1 point, or fouling in the last two minutes for the first time when you’re at a defensive disadvantage I would say are both “smart fouls”
