“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo....”
The Knicks radio announcers reacting to the final moments of Game 5, as Dylan Harper misses both free throws, OG Anunoby splits the clutch free throws, and the New York Knicks win a championship for the first time in 53 years
Wemby in crunch time in the NBA Finals:
Game 1:
-Dribbles off foot with 50sec left.
Game 2:
-Airball with 1:30.
-Settles for terrible midrange shot in the 104-104 game with 30sec left.
-Turnover pass off Castle’s back & fouls Brunson with 9 seconds left.
-Misses good look to win at buzzer.
Game 4:
-Shoots the Knicks back into the game going 4-17FG after he told Robinson he was in his head.
-Misses both FTs up by 1 with 1:40 left.
Game 5:
-1/5FG in 4thQ.
-Missed FT down by 2 with 1:50
This is one of the greatest plays in NBA history (especially if the Knicks win the series). OG Anunoby delivers a potentially immortal play to win Game 4.
This is the new face of the NBA?
Wemby makes at least one super dirty play every game
He was 100% trying to break OG’s leg
Long history of that
If they do not upgrade this to a flagrant and suspend that “French” freak, it will be their fault when he seriously injures someone
I'm not a Spurs or Knicks fan, but I can't remember seeing officiating this biased in a playoff series. One team appears to be getting favorable treatment, and Wemby has seemingly avoided two obvious flagrant calls. The refs are undermining the integrity of the game.
KAT picks up his 4th foul seconds into the 2nd half
A flagrant that would’ve resulted in a Wemby suspension is missed
Harper pokes Bridges in the eye and it’s missed
Once you start to pay attention to what Tim Donaghy is talking about, you can’t unsee it
This is the second time the refs have given Wemby a break. Here was the first.
And suspension talk aside, missing that call was worth about 6 points for the Spurs in a game the Knicks just cut to 7
WEMBY COMMITS AN OBVIOUS FLAGRANT ON BRUNSON AND NEARLY INJURES HIM SERIOUSLY BUT THE REFS WONT CALL IT BC HE WOULD GET SUSPENDED!!!!
BRUNSON GOT CALLED FOR A FLAGRANT WHEN HE WASNT EVEN CLOSE IN A PREVIOUS GAME
THIS IS SO BS
Inexcusable blown call by the refs.
Wemby clearly puts his foot in Brunson’s landing area.
That’s 100% a flagrant - which means Wemby would be suspended for Game 6 is spurs win.
Instead, Brunson is on the ground and Vassell hits a 3PT and the Knicks have to call a timeout
