It's definitely a record (according to ESPN the previous low was 11) and it's totally bizarre. Though by way of partial explanation, Boston shot 17 for 52 on threes so they basically lost the same way we lost to OKC tonight. Still, it's hard to imagine that these two teams played 48 minutes of basketball and only 1 shooting foul was committed.
We need to up those "Last 2 Min" reports to "Full 48 Min" reports at this point just so someone in the league office can explain to us what they think is going on with these calls and non-calls. To be a couple weeks away from the playoffs and have games occur on the same night where teams shoot a combined 57 FTs (Kings vs. Thunder) and a combined 2 FTs is worrying.

I read what Lillard told but in a Greek site so I can't quote him exactly. More or less he told that "I felt I got fouled several times, I know I fouled our opponents quite a few times as well, still there was no call. In a couple of matches the past few days I was fouled out without playing so hard, while it was quite easy for me to go to the line, today it was the opposite in both ends".
I am not a fan of "changing things" but not totally, not in all matches, it's like not calling traveling violations in some matches at all, not calling defensive 3 seconds (Giddey was doing it the whole time, perhaps there was a nice teen in the stands he was looking at), just have the same tactic from the refs in all matches for all teams. After the ASG that this new foul policy is applied, it's not fully applied to us for sure regarding how many free throws SGA had yesterday, Doncic last week, Brunson and I don't know who other we faced. Also all of the mentioned before All Stars tend to either initiate contact themselves or push with the hand not dribbling the ball and of course non of them gets to be called for a charging foul. God forbid if Fox or Domas either try to initiate contact or extend his arm when he holds the ball inside the paint.

Is PJ Tucker the "all time leader in corner 3s" like the Clippers announcer mentioned a while ago? I guess not but it's his "trademark" when it comes to offense I guess. He hit 2 in a row, one of them was awarded as a "long 2" though cause he stepped on the line.
Bones 6/6 3s so far and 33 points, he's about to do a Malachi Flynn if he keeps up like this.
