@KnicksNation @MarkZinno 7’4” and Wemby has to cheat right out of the gate. He’s a loser.

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@MarkZinno Agreed. Bullshit. NBA simply doesn’t want game 4 without Wemby. If shoving someone to the ground by their head isn’t flagrant, don’t even have the rule. And whether Brunson was grabbing his jersey or his jock strap has nothing to do with whether Wemby’s actions were flagrant.

@RichardAngwin Not usually a crass person, and believe we all really need to get along. But urinate is the first thing that came to mind. Just being honest.

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@frans1960nl @RichardAngwin He is definitely a creature

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@TheDunkCentral Ummm, if there’s a lineup on the baseline—I’m taking MJ. Been a LeBron fan forever, but I can’t pass up Jordan for anybody

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@MikeHerndonSk1 Still flagrant, even if “justified”. NBA can’t imagine a finals game without Wemby , which is why their definition of flagrant is so subjective and open to interpretation. I don’t care if Brunson was grabbing him by his nuts, Wemby’s actions were intentional and flagrant.

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@jacksettleman I love that this highlight also shows Bryant body-checking Towns in typical Spurs Bully-Ball fashion.

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@SnottieDrippen Called taking a charge. I don’t like it away from the ball, but Castle (and other Spurs) are just playing bully-ball. Welcome to the unwatchable NBA playoffs.

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@JoshReynolds24 Drawing a charge is taught from the beginning. No need to box out if Castle is just going to run him over (running through people like a linebacker drives me batshit crazy). This isn’t the first time he’s done it (see game 2). Same way he drives to the basket—bully out of control

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@MikeTheHump_ @KnicksCentral He didn’t land underneath where the shooter started his shot—not even close. Brunson lands two feet from where Champagnie left the ground. They need to change the rule if the shooter can throw his legs out to draw a flagrant foul.

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@BradBroome @MarkZinno I’ll take tougher mentally, but do you really want players shoving each other to the ground? That’s not basketball. Excel at your sport, keep your cool by being tougher mentally—just be better. To each their own, but I don’t like this in any sport.

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@SamHumphreys34 I’m beginning to think he truly believes he’s allowed to elbow people in the throat. He gets frustrated when it doesn’t come easy—like it always has—and lashes out

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@bballbreakdown Clearly Castle likes tomrun through people. Have you been watching all along?

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@Dylan_Sandas @NBA_NewYork Change the language in the rule. Do you realize you can punch someone unconscious with following through? That’s basically what dirty castle did. He should be playong linebacker or safety in the NFL

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@undercoverNBA Losing faith in the NBA right now. No flagrant on Castle for blasting everyone like Ronnie Lott, and Brunson gets a flagrant for what? Dude’s feet came forward. Brunson was a non-factor in him falling. He tried to initiate the contact with his leg and that’s why he fell. Awful

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@TomerAzarly He initiates the contact

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@KhanSaba1278 Somebody needs to wash their hands before opening and closing that door.

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@StellarMILRock3 @stoolpresidente He initiates the contact, and runs over people like a linebacker—and you want those ticky-tack fouls called? Castle is just going to keep knocking people over until someone is unconscious.

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@Kam7810 I think it’s half that. Can also be directly tied to the complete mismanagement by the people running MARTA since forever. So six of one and half-a-dozen of the other.

[Vincent Timko @vpaultimko]

@Confidence1000 @BrickCenter_ Just reality.
