People HONESTLY thought that a 60+ win team was gonna get swept? LMAO! I had Spurs in 6 so I might as well stick with it. I will say this though, Game 4 determines the series.

NBA wasn't going to let this be only a 4 game series. There definitely was some bad calls against the Knicks that favored the Spurs. They need this to go 5 or 6 games for ratings. As I said, all that fanfare and hype, the celebrities, Knicks got caught up in it.
 
Wemby little by little is turning into a dirty player right before my eyes.
 
So, Wembley has to let them hit him, grab him, not retaliate, always have a smile on his face, and even apologize to show humility?
Come on, people, teams want to stop him for getting hit, and then when he defends himself, they complain that he did it?
They talk about referees and other things and forget about reality. The Spurs are a great team, very young, still inexperienced, the team everyone thought they'd walk all over, but the reality is they also showed courage.
Enjoy a great final, where anyone can win

He's full of himself, regardless of what's happening on the court.

However, if your weight is 60kg together with the bed you sleep in, when the opposing center boxes you out, you have no right pushing back and flailing after the fact.

Get that underdog bullshit out of here. People said the west was going to mop the east and the refs have favored them throughout.
 
They tried to get Robinson a flagrant for a weak shove on Wemby then don't even give Wemby a common foul for the bs with Brunson. Brunson gets a flagrant for his closeout and nothing on Wemby when he does the same to Hart. Then theres the TOs and challenges Knicks keep wasting to get calls right.


Edit: they didnt get Robinson for a flagrant it was a tech but the play was still nothing compared to what they've allowed.

As for game 3, look. Some of the officiating against the Knicks was wack no doubt, but the turnovers and the lack of ball movement because Brunson wanted to play FMVP ball is what did them in. Brunson was doing that shit in game 2 as well if we're keeping it a buck. Also, where tf is KAT in the 4th? Looks like the Spurs have neutralized him to an extent.

Yes. they gotta play better than they did in game 3. The TOs were terrible and gotta swing the ball more. Also, true the refs should stop playing favorites. Cause as poorly as they played it was a 4 point game.
 
I never talk about underdogs, nor do I care what the referees do. When a team plays well, it doesn't need referees, and if a team plays badly, it should take responsibility for its mistakes, not blame others.

The only player who bothers me is Shai, because of his blatant way of faking fouls. The rest is basketball; it's a contact sport, and anyone who's played it knows perfectly well that referees' decisions are controversial. Instead of wasting time talking to referees, use that time to calm down and improve your game. A tough team doesn't complain when they're played just as tough.

You say play as tough and ignored the part where I said they cant play as tough because they get called for it. Same plays they make, Knicks have gotten techs and flagrants for, while they dont even get common fouls, sometimes. And prior to this series, KAT had one of the worst whistles, anyway.
 
Spurs clearly didn't learn from the Celtics this year against PHI or last year against these Knicks about spamming 3s nonstop.

And Fox...............................................boy I tell ya.
