This is PERFECT Timing…

This is PERFECT Timing…

A recent report from Shams has dropped that there are major rule changes coming to the NBA and this is perfect timing for the New York Nicks when considering what these rules are and we’re going to break this thing down so what’s up guys welcome back to Nicks digest it’s Chris

Here and we’re going to waste no time jumping right into the video because this is perfect timing for the New York Knicks let’s look at what Shams have to say and essentially he was told that the NBA’s competition committee met on Tuesday and discussed way to incorporate more defensive Freedom evaluating how to

Potentially allow more physicality on defense and they’re using the next few months to strategize further so obviously this is massive news as if you do follow the New York Knicks closely enough you might know the phrase bring out the metal bats as there was a viral tweet talking about how everyone’s

Scoring 15 points in the NBA nowadays and then the New York Knicks just beat you with metal bats when you try to do that to them and they hold you under 100 points now obviously we’ve seen the Knicks just absolutely slow the game down and force teams under 100 routinely

And give them hell trying to score the ball and that is something that obviously is very promising when you look at the playoffs when less fouls are called when there’s a lot more just playing through contact when the NBA becomes way more of a contact sport so

This is massive for the New York Knicks as they are the best team at playing physical defense in the NBA especially when considering the trades they have made acquiring OG on anobi and press saua while also having a Litany of other rough and really good Defenders on that

Roster guys who were not afraid of contact but let’s look at the full quote from Shams real quick and essentially what he had to say is I’m told the NBA’s competition committee which is comprised of League Executives team Executives team officials team owners players the NBA players union they all met on

Tuesday and they discussed ways to incorporate more defensive Freedom evaluating how to potentially allow more physicality that merits of that and much more they’ll use the next few months and the offseason to strategize how to implement potential changes and allowing more defensive Freedom into next season this is something the league is

Discussing a lot and it is because players and all these different stakeholders are bringing it up in these calls now essentially what has happened is I think players Executives fans we’re all kind of sick of the game constantly being stopped because someone’s going to run in go like this and just get fouled

And then we’re going to have to watch people shoot free throws now I don’t know about y’all but I came up in the age of Technology where all of us have one of these things Shout Out New York City skyline um and really the thing is

If I see a foul happen I know there’s going to be 20 seconds before the first free throw is even shot so if I’m watching any basketball game whether it’s the Knicks whether it’s someone else and a foul happens this is my instant reaction to me watching on TV

I’m looking I see a foul I’m like oh okay let me just shoot out of text real quick let me go on to YouTube Let me just hit Twitter see what’s going like no there’s two much stoppage in play the best thing about basketball in my opinion is that there’s constant action

There’s never really a good time to start looking away and not paying attention cuz you don’t know when you’re going to miss something cuz there’s just this constant stream of action it’s the reason why basketball is my favorite sport it’s the reason why I have struggled in the past to watch sports

That have a lot more stoppages like in the NFL when I don’t know I think it’s 133% of the game that you’re watching is actually in action when plays are happening the MLB is a little different in all senses of the word and I think I’ve just kind of let that one go

Because I like baseball and then there’s also soccer where there’s no action for 95 minutes so obviously basketball has this thing to it where out of all the major sports it’s the one with the most action the most free flowing similar to hockey except there’s constant scoring given

Hockey’s incredibly hard to score unlike soccer which shouldn’t be it’s the reason why three-year-olds can play soccer whatever this is not an anti soccer rant the real thing here is this is huge for the New York Knicks because the New York Knicks are a physical team

If you look at this roster they are full of guys who are not afraid of contact who are all about the smoke in the words of the Memphis Grizzlies they’re climbing up the chimney if you look Dante D venzo very good Defender uses his body well Josh Hart will throw his

Weight around with no problem Jaylen Brunson is not afraid of contact whatsoever then you got guys like Duce McBride who is not going to let anyone get past him Julius Randle is one of the most physical players in the NBA Jericho Sims is pure physicality precious atua great ball Defender So Physical mitell

Robinson and Isaiah hartenstein both physical centers not afraid to get a little contact to stop you from scoring and then obviously the man himself the best on ball defender on the New York Knicks the man who will put anyone in jail OG on anobi now I understand OG’s

Injured we’ve done a few videos on this OG injury but all signs do point to him being okay in the near future which is awesome news especially when it comes to playoffs because think the NBA is going to experiment with even less calls in the playoffs which is why they’re kind

Of easing us into this now is saying one get ready for the playoffs and two if you think this is contact you haven’t seen anything yet we’re not giving you calls in the playoffs you get some contact we’re not bailing you out with a whistle here and that is good for the

New York Knicks because they don’t want to get their guys in foul trouble and also they want to play physically you can look at a lot of teams in the NBA and say oh yeah they that’s not a physical team now also it’s not like the

Knicks are the only one I mean the Miami heat they’re not afraid to get into some contact at all the Sacramento Kings Are Not Afraid from contact even with their fast Place offensive their fastpaced offensive based game but teams like the Indiana Pacers how how often do you see

Them getting into real contact when you look at the Milwaukee Bucks yeah there’s Giannis and Brook Lopez and Bobby poris who were not afraid of the contact and Damen Lillard is what the UFC calls a BMF which is a bad MF as you could kind

Of do the math on that one if you look at the NBA though the Knicks are the most physical team from top to bottom it’s why we’re the team with the metal bats because we’re going to beat you over the head to win a basketball game

And in the playoffs that is how you succeed so this is great news for the New York Knicks I think this will help them become an even better defensive team fully healthy they’re probably the best defensive team in the NBA and Tom Tibido is all about that smoke go in

There rough the other team up don’t let them get away with those little f if someone’s going up for a layup don’t let them hit it if you’re going to foul them if you’re going to foul them make sure they’re on the ground that is the

Way the New York Knicks play they play with that physical New York put on your hard hat and go to work style they’re not afraid of anyone and that is what you need and I like this R I think this is good for basketball I think this is

Good for the New York Knicks this is a win-win if you are a New York dicks fan because I think all of us are kind of like oh my God theys get screwed over because they want to play physical defense unlike anyone else and then teams shoot more free throws than them

Now that’s not going to be the case and also if you’re just an NBA fan if you’re someone like me who’s just going to turn on league pass at sometime like all right who’s on the the Cavs and the Pacers they played last night I tuned

Into that for a little bit waiting for the next game it’s like okay I don’t want to see a free throw battle at all I won’t I don’t want to watch that no one does why would anyone want to watch Team shoot a bunch of free throws it’s the

Main complaint that people had when James Harden was MVP was like oh my God all he does is shoot free throws and on one hand you got to commend him for manipulating the rules of basketball into him getting to the line constantly he was taking advantage of the cars he

Was dealt which is exactly what you’re supposed to do but when that happens we get bored as fans and we stop tuning in as much and And We complain the ratings go down and the NBA loses money that is what’s happening it’s what’s been happening for the last 10 years or so

Ever since the Steph Kera of run gun shoot a bunch of threes that’s how you win games and then James Harden kind of manipulating the rule book in a similar fashion to what Kobe Bryant once did and now again you play the hand your de and

I don’t blame the players for this what I do blame is the NBA for not doing this sooner but luckily better late than never this is excellent news for all basketball fans and something that is mentioned is that from the start of the 2223 season so last year until the

All-Star break of this season there were two games where team scored fewer than 880 points in the last three weeks it happened five times the 152 points compar in the Knicks 76ers loss for the Knicks which was 7973 Philly won that was the fewest in a game since

2016 and obviously I hated that game specifically because more than anything there was just a bunch of missed shots for the Knicks and all but it is more entertaining to watch when physical defense is allowed to be played I think if you are a real basketball fan as much

As you can enjoy that run gun shoot a bunch of three style it does get boring it is fun when there’s just a constant stream of action and it’s physical basketball is made to be a contact sport don’t let that change and the NBA is not comment your thoughts on this down below

Does this benefit the Knicks do you guys think I think it’s a massive benefit for the Knicks let me know like this video subscribe to Nicks digest have a great day guys and go Nicks

Shams has recently announced that there is a major rules change coming to the NBA that will allow much more physical defense. Chris Gallagher breaks it all down and argues why this is a win-win for the Knicks.
