other than a game where we had grant hill – it seems like every game announcer has been rooting against the knicks…

SVG and RJ have just been the worst…

Interesting that nobody is talking about the kick ball that went off a Pacer’s hand instead…

Oddly however, it went off a Pacer’s hand into another Pacer’s foot who kicked it straight to Siakim. Dmar, is that a kick ball? Van Gundy said “it went straight to Siakim” but that wasn’t the case at all…

But it was still a terrible call that went against the Pacers at the end of the game. I know, fuck Embiid…

Knick fans were like “it didn’t impact the play, it was a good non-call, Nick Nurse is a whiner, fuck Joel Embiid”.

That’s not what people said – they said Brunson held the jersey for a half-second because Maxey got open after pushing Hart away with two hands. Which wasn’t called. Personally I wouldn’t have griped if the illegal screen weren’t called on Turner, but it was an actual foul. If you’re Indy it seems weak to be whining about it.

As for “Fuck Embiid”… No notes.

If they don’t make that CORRECT call, Turner is wide open for a 3. No impact on the play?! Come on now…

C’mon. After game 2 vs the Sixers, Philly fans showed photographic evidence of Brunson grabbing Maxey’s jersey, and Knick fans were like “it didn’t impact the play, it was a good non-call, Nick Nurse is a whiner, fuck Joel Embiid”. And knick fans were probably right. But don’t turn all holier-than-thou now. This “foul” impacted the game far less. Even if Turner was wide open, the Knicks still would have had a 65% probability of retaining the lead. They have to let that play out.

Ewing got called for a similar foul at end of Game 3 in the 1994 Finals that cost them a chance at winning the game after Cassell’s 3pter.

It was 30 feet from the basket, and Donte created the 5 on 4 by falling to the floor to try sell a lame call.

Nobody would have thought twice if there was no call on that play, it would have simply been the default setting.

It had no impact on the play whatsoever.

Donte was the primary defender on the play!

He created a 5-on-4 illegally. What are people talking about here? That’s a legit foul.

PS, that foul call on Turner was terrible. It had no impact on the play whatsoever. It shouldn’t have been called. Players gotta play. (Knicks still probably would have won, but it would have been much more exciting to watch:)
