It has been pointed out in some corners of the interweb that the league could have suspended Alvarado, Clarkson, and OG for leaving the bench during the Josh Hart / Luke Kornet altercation. This seems accurate, if not ridiculous. So I’ll let the Wemby thing go 🙂
I trust the Knicks will not be listening to any of the Wemby hot takes. They don’t need to stand up for Jalen Brunson by elbowing Wemby today. They need to play their brand of basketball and have the MFer bending over out of breath with his hands on his knees again. They need to respond to game 3 the same way they responded to games 2 & 3 vs Atlanta. They need to win tonight by 15 and reestablish themselves as the competent men playing the talented boys.
And I need to bury myself in work & exercise to avoid the stress of this all. This is all a bit much. I miss the second round, when it was just basketball, and I could get a seat at the bar to watch a game.
Game 4 vs the Celtics last year is our spirit guide. Knicks played their best game of the century that day after winning first two on road and losing game 3 at home. I want that team, and I believe we will get it.
Retardmaxxing til then.
(This is a real thing, btw! I saw this video online, and I’m honestly not sure if Director got it from the guy who started it or if he is the guy who started it…

When they left the bench we had already called the timeout.
Ok last thing before I go to the gym (I swear!)… that youtube clip I posted got me sucked in a little, and there’s this Bill Simmons video about the series…
Go to the 10:45 mark and listen to how casually he speaks about the NBA being rigged! He’s not trying to make a point, it’s not a hot take, he’s just talking about it like it’s understood.
“I bet you have Scott Foster for this game, they’ll try to lay the smack down a little more on the Spurs, and then my guess is goes back to San Antonio, Tony Bruthers in game 5, and they’ll put the Knicks in position to be up 3-2 going to NY, see if they can do it.”
I know he’s “conspiracy bill” and all that, but he’s talking about refs in the NBA finals the same way we talk about starting pitchers in the world series!
Good god I hope he’s not right.

The timeout doesn’t matter, Cyber.
The only thing that matters is if the league determines that a situation meets the threshold of “an altercation”, and they used their judgment to determine that this one didn’t.
I think that’s absolutely correct, but we’ve seen them determine similar incidents to be altercations. So… phew.
OK slamming laptop shut now good bye
I still remember when they determined that a situation where Shaq left the bench DIDN’T count as an altercation. Grrr…
Wait a second. Are you “hubert” with the sheep/goat (I can’t quite tell) avatar and also “Hubert” with the Mitch dunking on Embiid avatar?
JB efficient 40 piece incoming
The stuff of nightmares: At the end of that Bill Simmons thing, a scenario was posited in which the Knicks are up 3-2 and going back to the Garden to close it out……..and then Trump phones Dolan and wants to come again.
They joked about it, but it would suck beyond sucking.
When the league Extended the Lakers/Kings series in 2002, we didn’t have social media, and “clicks” and “views” and “engagement” weren’t things. In the social media age, it’s even more in the interest of the league to Extend, and very much in the interest of the league to have fan “engagement” with various conspiracy theories and even to stoke them.
Before social media, the league probably didn’t even like the fact that some people thought the Ewing lottery was rigged; now they absolutely love it. Just another cash flow — and the iron law of late-stage capitalism is that no cash flow can go unrealized.

When asked about the Wemby shove, I think the Knicks should just put stuff out there today like “we know what to do about Wemby” and “we will handle it” but then just play a totally clean game and kick their asses by getting in their heads.
If we think Wemby can get away with that stuff because our guys went to push the Spurs players after the Hart-Kornet… i wouldn’t call it altercation, it was just a shove. If that’s the same thing, well then Wemby will keep doing it because there’s not a problem in playing WWE style when the clock is on. I DON’T GIVE HIM A PASS, NOT IN A MILLION YEARS.
Take it to Mitch, to see how strong you are, you p*ssy!
Win Game 4, and go up by 20 in Game 5. Then let Alvarado sucker gut punch Wemby. When a fight breaks out, every Knick goes after the Spur who wronged them. Mike Brown then dances on the court doing a strip tease. It’s a remake of Slapshot, but in basketball form.
Additionally at the end you essentially have Tyler Kolek and the reserves beating the Spurs, which is [chef’s kiss].
Good. I dunno if my heart can take another close game. A nail biter on Wednesday will mean I’m screaming at the TV most of the night, which will ruin my voice and I’ve got a show on Thursday.
I need a Knicks win tonight. Waking up at 3:30am to watch these games means it’s the end of the night and is unsustainable for me. Go get them!
Hubert are you still with that lucky charm woman, or did you break up 2 days ago? If that’s the case I’d recommend getting back with her asap.
Honestly I’d bet more on KAT waking up. There seemed a few possessions down the stretch in Game 3 where he was clearly waiting to get the ball back & didn’t get it.
The Spurs are going to smother Brunson, and unless the refs find their whistles when the Knicks have the ball I don’t expect that to change. San Antonio is just not going to let Jalen beat them, by hook or crook.
But they can’t stop KAT if he gets going on the outside and if they put Wemby on him, he can blow past him or pass it to a Knick for a bunny with the paint opened up.
Let’s get everybody’s time zone… here in Portugal it’ll be 1:30AM
And yeah, i now go to sleep 2 or 3 hrs before the game to be fresh to scream at the referees! LOL
Are you able to go back to sleep after the game?
Hubert, I too got it from Marc. Bing Bong baby. Lets GO. Think of me being retarded with my 17 yr old boy when Knicks are up 20 tonight.
Agreed. We need KAT to get back to superstar KAT.
Can we get a bring the ball up court by commission? JB, Mikal and Hart should go back to get the ball and i don’t think the Spurs will put 3 players on our side of the court to apply full court pressure, so the one that is unguarded brings the ball. We need to stop wasting energy, and time, by having JB fighting the full court pressure.
Yes, although if it’s a close game i need 30 to 60 mins talking with you guys to calm down.
But also i’m a strange case when it comes to go to sleep, Lady Cyber says i sleep so effortless that sometimes i get to sleep while i was in the middle of saying something. LOL
Who am I kidding I can’t work today….
Jesus I don’t even remember which one that was. Maybe I should settle down.
I will tell you one thing… my backgammon results have been perfectly correlated with the Knicks’.
You may recall that when the Knicks lost game 3 at Atlanta I complained about losing in the final of a backgammon tournament that night (I got ice cream). Well, I played in that tournament every two weeks since then. I won on May 7th & I won on May 21st. And I didn’t just win I dominated like the Knicks did. I won most matches 3-0 or 3-1. But there was one match where I came back from 0-2, which is like the Knicks comeback against Cleveland.
There’s 5 matches in each tournament, so I entered the June 4th one on a ten match winning streak. I won the first three and lost in the semifinal (to a very good opponent who got a little lucky, just like the Spurs).
So 13 straight wins for Hubie, then a bitter loss.
I tell you all this to assure you that if we are in fact living in a simulation or there is a universal pattern between my backgammon results and the Knicks, we’re in good shape because I won my next match (the 3rd place game) pretty handily, 3-1.
I have not played since then, and I don’t plan to. Partly because I want to be surprised, partly because I can’t handle the pressure of feeling like my results may have some karmic influence on the Knicks winning a championship.
