Worst one-sided officiating I’ve seen all season.
Knicks score 58 in the paint yet take 12 free throws.
Rockets take 33 free throws.
Wally and Hahn going off post-game.
Thibs the most livid I’ve seen him. Rick Brunson pissed.
Phantom bullshit call on Brunson on a 35-foot chuck with .3 left.
Just an unreal screw job tonight.

was anything sinister going on. But I think a lot of these guys are just flat out bad at their jobs, the game moves to fast for some of them to make calls in real time, and the replay system is a joke.
I get that but 33-12 free throw disparity is not bad at your job, its blatant..
that call last night is not bad at your job, ita deciding the game when no one would of said anything if he didnt make a call, not a single person on either team, not a single fan..but instead the ref decided to take the game in his hands..
Not only that but the Knicks live in the paint. That's why they're second in the league in free throws. Houston commits more fouls than almost any other team and the Knicks are amongst the lowest in the league. With that context, it's absolutely asinine that the refs would so blatantly call the game the way that they did. With legalized gambling, this problem isn't going away for the NBA.
If you think ita going to blow over you dont understand Knicks twitter

Adam Silver is not going to do anything to help the Knicks. He hates Dolan! As blatant as his was and the calls were terrible all game, it will blow over, as it always does. It just takes all the enjoyment out of an NBA game. It was funny that they said the line moved due to Segun playing. Segun is good, but not that good.

I understand Knicks twitter, I follow many of the posters, but this will blow over!
Tell me what do you think is going to happen? Knicks twitter is going to force the NBA to redo the final 8 seconds? They are going to actually uncover a gambling conspiracy? This will blow over by tomorrow's game when Orlando beats us for a 3rd time and we are frustrated by Thibs' playing Alec Burks 45 mins when Divo misses the game.
Is anything goingnto happen to this guy? probably not but the NBA will never stop hearing about it
…or maybe he learned after calling the offensive foul on DDV’s 3 at the end of the 1st half
Or how about no calls on Chicago in the Charles Smith Game 5 of ‘93 ECF???
Just rest them, get a nice break with the all star break and come back ready to go, Orlando will be on a back to back..
Team has to start thinking like an elite team that is built for playoffs

The only thing that could help is Ed Malloy admitted they messed up and the NBA in the last 2 minute report admitted to messing it up..
Reversing the outcome would mean that both teams would head into overtime, though. So it would mean the Knicks would have to fly down to Houston on a day off and play the Rockets.

to reverse the outcome, this would be it. I don’t expect it to happen though, hasn’t happened since Stern was the commissioner.

Last time it happened in 07 they replayed the final minute of a game
Just comp us a second round pick and be over with it. Haha
I don’t understand why it would open up Pandora’s box. How many times is there a blown call where there aren’t any other variables because it’s a tie game at the end of regulation? I don’t think they’ll overturn it because Adam Silver doesn’t have any guts but if there was ever a situation where it was warranted this would be it.
A Judgement call that was admitted by the ekague and official that was wrong and directly effected the end of the game, this isnt a call with 30 seconds left, it is a call with no time left that directly changed the outcome of the game

As much as we all know that call was BS, the league isn’t going to go to that extreme on what was a judgement call. That would open Pandora’s box

Haha, ok. Let me know when you find out the Knicks are traveling to Houston to finish the game…
The idea of replaying the game is stupid. Howeveer the league publicly putting Malloy in pergatory (no more knicks games, bare minimum playoff games) should certainly be considered.
On the good side the Magic lost and the Bucks are getting pounded
The official scorer was employed by the Hawks, who were fined $50K.
The previous successful protest before that one was back in 1982. Lakers were in the "deliberate miss" situation: Laker player (Norm Nixon) about to attempt his second free throw, down two with a couple of seconds left in regulation.
Nixon faked shooting and held onto the ball, bringing players from both teams into the lane. Ref called a double lane violation and a jump ball. Ball went to Nixon and he hit a basket to tie game.
Spurs successfully protested on grounds the double violation/jump ball ruling was wrong per rule book because Nixon never shot the free throw attempt.
Neither successful protest involved a judgment call, not much hope for NYK.

I was going to ask about this. Thank you. They can't start overturning results on judgment calls, unless they want to make a new rule limiting it to this exact scenario.
Yeah the system needs to be revamped. They need to maybe adopt the NFL rule- 2 challenges and if you win both you get a 3rd.
He'd lose a 1-on-0 game against himself
He’s been dealing with a knee injury most of the season and he was playing through it. That should be commended, not held against him
He said with randle its harder to report because Randle is pushing to come back after the all star break. He said he has to be clesred obviously but Randle is a maniac
Here is the problem, when he plays henis playing 37 or 38 minutes a night and on some of those crazy nights hr is going to play 43..
He needs tk be managed like Kawhi was in toronto..Around 30 minutes, if you need a night he takes it..
If you have Embiid and Brunson your a title contender seeding should not matter as much
They may have no choice.

He’s right on both
meanwhile on twitter, Berman is making snarky comments about OG's injury and Isola is feuding with Robert Randolph. And Bondy just sucks.

He was on with Macri and said he doesnt expect OG to be out much longer after the 3 weeks from surgery. He exoects him to return not long after he resumes on court activities..

I could see OG come back march 8th, that would be 8 more games, they play march 5th and then have 2 days off..
