Did what we were supposed to and what good teams do last night. Great to have Mitch back and really fun watching the growth of McBride. Precious with a sick dunk too! Really love this team!
With loses by by Cleveland and the Magic, it was a beautiful night of basketball.
Now let the Pelicans beat the Bucks tonight.
If only they had made a trade at the deadline for two people who supposedly can make shots.
BTW, Precious was MINUS 30 in just 16 minutes
Meanwhile Poppvich has to be held back from an official and doesnt get teed up, another spur steps into Divencenzo with an elbow and they dont call it a flagrant..
utterly ridiculous the NBA cant find better officiating
This.....Thibs keeps going back to it and every time it sucks.
You can see why he can do anything he wants on the court because as soon as someone bodies him, the refs call a foul, he doesnt have to worry about anything..
Meanwhile Jones is bear hugging Brunson with no call

i dont want to see it anymore, it doesnt fricken work
This.....Thibs keeps going back to it and every time it sucks.
The fact he went back to the same lineup that let the Spurs get a 20 point lead i vouldnt believe it, then the sours immediately go up 12, he takes Precious out and the Knicks immediately goes on a run..
Hopefully OG is back and we dont see it anymore
Come to BBI and read how the officials robbed us and Brunson played too much ISO ball. Nothing I thought about while watching the game in real time. I guess everyone wears their own pair of glasses……
Better check Thibs’ glasses - he just slaughtered the refs in the postgame presser (in a passive aggressive way to avoid fines/suspensions).

They fricken shot 33 free throws to the Knicks 13 they only swallowed the whistle when the Knicks shot the ball lol..
The fact that Popovich was alllwed to storm the court and had to be held back by 2 coaches and not get T'd uo is utterly ridiculous...id expect Thibs to get a t if he did that too and thenc all Thibs an idiot for getting a t in that situation..
So what? I’d rather refs call a legit game rather than trying to keep FT’s even.

Did you look at the FT disparity? The proof is in the pudding-Brunson was getting hacked all night and barely went to the line. Meanwhile the called a foul on the Knicks nearly everytime Gumby drive to the basket.

So you think its a legit game that Brunson took 47 shots and knly had 6 free throws? meanwhile Wemby shot the same amount of free throws as the entire Knicks team?
And I’m pissed we likely emptied the tank in a loss before OKC comes to town.

Yes. Besides the jump ball violation, at no point did I question the officiating while watching in real time.

How do you explain Gumby getting superstar Jordan treatment from the refs and Brunson not getting that same treatment? Stinks to high Heaven and points to possible corruption from the refs. I'm sure that Spurs +10 betting line was factored into this. I firmly believe that.
This was not the Houston game, which is the closest game I’ve ever seen to likely being rigged.
VW is really tall, so the only way to stop him from making a shot is to foul him.
Most of Brunson's arsenal comes down to creating space for his shot, which he makes, given that space.
Should he have gotten more FTs? You'd have to go play by play.

He scored 31 points in the point, he wasnt just shooting 3s or deep 2s..

Yes, but the issue isn't just about where the shot is taken. As I say, Brunson is a master at creating clear space for a shot that he can get off despite his short height. If you go into the defender for contact, then the defender is going to be right there when you go up for your shot.
Then at Pelicans which is hopefully a loss
@Hornets and home Bulls, i could see a sllit but they are favored in both games..
Close with at rockets at bucks, at sixers and then close home against Bucks..I am going to assume bucks wont need that last game..
So if it goes chalk and they win every game they should, you are looking at 5-4, 6-3 depending on if any team sits their starters because they dont need it...Knicks have a 2 game lead on them
Good news! Thanks for sharing it.

Eh alot of the foul calls on Wemby were normal basketball plays but since he’s a twig the contact looks egregious
And tossed

Obviously the number of shots taken does not necessarily correlate (at all) with fouls and free throws awarded.

I just want to know about the jump ball violation called on Mitch with 34 seconds. That is one I don't get
