Game 4 is just honestly a brutal watch and it's totally because of the way the series has been officiated for the first three games. Now that they've allowed crazy contact everywhere, neither team knows where the line is and officials are having to make adjustments on the fly.
I don’t want to take anything away from the Spurs, they are shooting unconscious. But to say the refs don’t have any bearing on this game/series is fucking INSANE. All I want is a consistent whistle on BOTH sides.
Knicks players have constantly preached about concentrating only on the game, about avoiding distractions.
Since the finals began, their owner has messed w their routine by inviting the president, bickered publicly w local government and now said they’re gonna win the finals.
Yep. Having that extra flagrant point, one away from suspension, keeps Wemby’s dirty play under control…or at least that’s the thought anyway. Very clear the NBA wouldn’t do shit about it regardless. It is what it is. Go win game 4.
Precisely zero people were calling for a suspension to be in imposed. That would’ve been ridiculous.
But it’s also ridiculous to pretend that wasn’t definitionally a Flagrant 1. It should’ve been adjudicated as such.
I don’t understand why it wasn’t.
What a fucking joke the league is.
They’ve always been about their bottom line and will continue to be so, even when the integrity of the sport is at stake.
Cowards.
No flagrant upgrade on the uncalled foul of Spurs' Victor Wembanyama to Knicks' Jalen Brunson on Monday night, a league spokesperson tells ESPN. Wembanyama will stay at two flagrant points in postseason.
