PG: Refs help the new NBA Goldenboy Flopper beat Knicks despite Brunson's 61 point game.

[DOT]

Wemby is gonna be that guy people tell their kids about watching in like 25 years

Also bonkers game by Brunson, shame he missed that last one.

[2010]

Thibs seemed pissed about the refs in his post game presser but bit his tongue. He just kept repeating “it’s a tough way to lose.” You know what that means in coach-speak.

[Fat Kat]

Don’t want the loss to diminish Brunson’s performance. Absolute brilliance.

Refs were awful. Our bench was just as awful

Wemby is already a star. Just an incredible talent.

Try to ignore the trolls and get some rest. They feed on sadness and discontent. The team is performing about as well as can be expected with all of the injuries

[K_ick_God]

Some underrated ref moments that cost us the game:

• Pop earned a tech in the 4th after the Keldon flagrant elbow, and they gave him mad rope and never called it. We hit that tech FT and that could mean no OT

• Late in the 4th Brunson hit a layup where Jones clearly fouled him. No whistle, hence no and-1. If that play is called correctly then we likely win in regulation

• The jumpball violation call on Mitch was complete b.s.

Swallowing the whistle on JB’s make was another moment of BS

But it seems like the refs are in awe of the giraffe and think nobody can do anything to him without fouling him

It is lame

But the larger point is the Knicks get awful reffing — bias against them that is not gambling related — it is just bias

and even before his injury he just looked extremely slow and now he cant get up for lobs. he gets cooked when he tries to defend in space too. the guy is playing like he's 40 years old now. there's no way anyone is going to seriously argue he should be starting from how he looks. i rather play precious as our backup

His hands are awful too, like what are we doing here? Some people didn't want KP over the summer cause he's injury prone, yet they stand by and watch as this man has missed 81 games the last two seasons, and just got hurt simply landing on the ground. I could see if this were some Embiid level player where you just gotta take the injuries cause everything else is so overwhelming, but we've past the point of this just being freak occurrences with his injuries and it should be obvious his ankle/feet can't handle the weight he's put on.

rookie mitch was a promising player. but he's been on the downhill since sham became his biggest fan. the sham plague is the worst since the bubonic plague.

He's got a nasty case of the shams, he spent all that first half talking about Ihart too, just nasty work all around.

mitchell robinson

He really sustained an injury just landing, we gotta trade him this offseason, there's no way we can have another season of him missing 50 games just cause he can't land without his whole foot exploding.

Mitch aged faster than Bogs. Thought that was impossible, but there it is. Taj looks more mobile.

[knicks94]

Didn’t watch the game, and just saw the box score. How the heck did we lose to the god awful 56 loss Spurs?

[thebuzzardman]

Will we ever see OG and Mitchell Robinson on the court at the same time?

No

OG's not coming back and Mitch is getting traded in the offseason

[Wildcat]

I don’t think we can rely on Mitch. But I wonder if teams would even take a shot at him with the injuries

We had no business being close — Jalen put the team on his back

7 offense rebounds in 19 minutes. I think he's going to thrive as a bench player. His hands still suck, but much of his misses were honestly timing things he'll get back. Wemby is a tough match up for anyone.

[god shammgod]

this is a terrible place filled with worse people. you all deserve nothing good and from what i can tell that's what most of you have received. god hates you and nobody can blame him. good night.

[NoDopeOnSundays]

The KP comparisons were crazy, he is to KP what KD was to Rashard Lewis, just a massive leap forward on the evolutionary ladder.

[FrozenEnvelope]

This felt like a playoff loss.

Didn’t watch the game, and just saw the box score. How the heck did we lose to the god awful 56 loss Spurs?

We decided this was a game we would try to outscore our opponents in instead of playing hard nosed defense. Spurs got anything they wanted all game. We deserved to lose.

We need iHart healthy, and OG and Randle back to have any realistic shot at the ECF and Finals anyway. Otherwise, we’ll just enjoy entertaining basketball which is cool too.

[Wildcat]

Take the records out of it and we had an entertaining game minus some ref calls.

[K_ick_God]

I feel a little sorry for Mitch to be honest and human for a moment

I’d be curious to know the backstory on his weight gain.. was it intentional?

He’s become a force in some ways since the weight but it still feels like a bad idea, injuries included

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Knowing how much anxiety you have whenever Mitch jumps and has to come down brings me so much joy.

[2010]

A game like this we miss Randle being able to go right through Wemby’s chest, or at the very least using his physicality to put some fouls on him.

We were tentative all game due to being shook of getting blocked by Wemby and the free throw disparity underscored that.

[One_and_Done]

Alot of people felt like the Spurs got hard done by with the calls. Also it's a bit hard to feel too hard done by when Sochan went down. The lead was huge before he got hurt.

[kNicksGmen]

We will fall to 5/6 in about a week.

we're 3 full games ahead of the pacers lol - not sure what the tie breaker is though. magic have also been bad and have a fairly difficult schedule.

is OG ever coming back?

They needed Randle's offense, but they could have used him on defense as well. The best way to defend Wemby right now is to use your SF/PF to guard him, and you then put your C on Sochan and have them play off him. There aren't any C's in the league that can guard him on the perimeter, so using a smaller player is the best bet, and he isn't strong enough to post up big wings or 4s yet.

Randle or OG on Wemby, IHart on Sochan to help off of.
