I mean refs missed stuff all the time so players have to do this but did he not get elbowed pretty hard in the jaw/neck? I mean these guys are insanely strong and we can’t tell how hard he actually got hit. I’ve seen some pretty egregious flops but this one really doesn’t fit that. Both Drummond and Towns look like they took legit hits.

It probably did hurt. But this is KATs MO, and I say this as someone who generally likes watching him.

He does that roll around on the ground and kick my legs bullshit that everyone hates to watch and pretends to be okay with if he’s on their team. It looks like a child throwing a tantrum, regardless of his talent.

The “pain crawl” is pretty solid indicator that KAT is selling.

People saying it’s soft are crazy. Oubre is completely out of position to contest, then proceeds to swipe hard at the ball over KATs shoulders as he’s in the air and takes him to the ground while hitting KAT across the body/head

This play probably starts a fight ⁹⁄₁₀ times at the park

spagheddieballs | Warriors

Am I crazy or did Oubre yank down on KAT’s shoulder at the end of that?

WiffleBallZZZ

5 | 3 hours ago

I think you’re right. It’s not the best angle, but to me the hit looked like a possible elbow to the temple, and then Oubre made another downward motion with his left arm at the end to drag him down.

He’s been pretty disciplined this playoffs. Way less bitching at the refs than any other point with the Knicks. He’s more enjoyable to watch since he’s locked in.

I haven’t watched the Knicks that much lately, does he still fall down way too often after driving to the basket?

robbyiballs | Knicks

5 | 3 hours ago

They’re using him as a pivot point elbow extended lately. He’s doing a lot more screening and passing from there. Less falling for sure when he does drive. Small sample, but he’s been our best player.

GeneRayburnJr | Timberwolves

What is Oubre supposed to do? Teleport? He’s mid-air and falling, obviously he’s going to hit Towns on the way down.

JX_JR | Warriors

19 | 4 hours ago

What kind of dumbass question is that?

He’s supposed to not whack a guy across the neck and shoulders mid-air while making 0 contact with the ball. Nobody is responsible for Oubre being mid-air and falling besides Oubre so he needs to not make it anyone else’s problem that he fucked up.

DisMFer | Bulls

-16 | 4 hours ago

He’s stopping KAT from scoring; it’s a foul, that’s not the issue. He shouldn’t get penalized for falling after that.

JX_JR | Warriors

13 | 4 hours ago

The issue is that he’s stopping KAT from scoring by an action that has no prayer of being a real basketball play. That’s a flagrant foul. Him being out of control and falling is nobody’s fault but his own; if it affects other people he should be penalized for that.

How are you going to say “I found myself in the air and I can’t make a basketball play, guess I might as well hurt this guy” isn’t the issue?

How is it in any way like wrapping a guy up as he drives to the hoop?

One happens on the ground, one happens in the air. One involves safely grabbing the body with both arms to stop someone, the other involves smacking them in the head and neck so they tumble to the ground uncontrolled.

Other than the fact that both involve dudes in basketball uniforms there are no similarities.

[Highlight] Karl-Anthony Towns drives towards the rim, hits Andre Drummond in the face and then gets fouled by Kelly Oubre Jr. (with replays). KAT is crawling on the floor and upon review, the foul by Oubre was upgraded to a flagrant-1. Oubre makes an expression, and can be seen saying “soft”.
