The first quarter of the Knicks vs. Spurs game was one of the most rigged things we've ever seen.
There were FIVE missed calls in favor of the Spurs and Wemby.
1) A clear foul on Wemby was reversed to give KAT his second foul of the game.
Thread ⬇️
In the last 3 weeks Wemby has:
- Intentionally elbowed Naz Reid in the neck
- Called for bench players to try to hurt Thunder players with hard fouls after losing
- Skipped mandatory postgame media
- Yanked Lu Dort’s hair (the exact play Spurs fans wanted IHart arrested for)
All with no additional punishment from the NBA, Wemby being donned as the face of “ethical basketball,” and the narrative from the series being the Thunder whistle and Shai falling in a series they’re shooting less FT with both sides playing physically.
We’re witnessing the biggest mass gaslighting event the sport has ever seen.
Mainstream media consensus was that nba needed to bring back the midrange and physical basketball and then a team with an all time great midrange scorer and a physical defense comes along and it’s just nothing but hatred you can’t make it up

Proud of my man @dax_owens4 and his mental / physical toughness. State Track and threw his tail off on bump. Then catching first game and back to Center for game 3 on a brutal hot day 🔥 Tough. People. Win. @CoachKennedy7@seancooper_C4
