Big mistake by Spo waiting till the game was over to put him back in. What did he think he was saving him for? OT that never came haha

Spo should have been a little bit more brave and not take Lowry out. Knicks were on rope at that time.


Yep I knew he wouldn't though, he's way too careful that way usually

Mavs really messed up hard there. Unbelievable.

Knicks stand no chance if there is an even whistle. But you gotta win what you can. So F U to the NBA as per usual because they can never call a normal game but props to the Knicks for not blowing it




:lol:


If this game were reffed properly Bam would foul out in the first quarter with his moving screens. Stop it.

I didn't watch the game, but only 19 points? Has Jimmy Butler been exposed?

They definitely wouldn't. The rest of that team is garbage.

Lmao, who TF said that? Definitely a troll :lol:

I can accept Butler being the best player in the series, but Brunson is right there behind him.

I am afraid Butler is already thinking about Eastern Conference Final.

And Zeller too, there was one Duncan Robinson 3 where Zeller basically played offensive lineman and prevented Hartenstein from defending Robinson by pushing him away.

Its actually amazing Bam has only been called for one moving screen, I feel like the NBA has given up on that call and its used now as a random make up call when the refs feel like it. Haven't seen Bam set one actual non-moving screen all series.

He coasted through the whole game. He should of just taken the night off and truly rested the ankle.

No surprises. I picked Heat in 6 before the series. It will end in game 6. Good season by Knicks. They overachieved.

If you have Bam Adebayo on your team who gets away with the most moving screens not named Draymond Green and you also have a certified flop master in Kyle Lowry on the same team, you really can not talk about another team getting whistles.

embarrassing that you’re blaming this on reffing


This loss was earned with how we played, how Butler didnt show up. Dont blame the refs, on to the next game.


Refs were one of multiple things I listed.

But i stand by that statement without a doubt. And I wish there was someone out there who had the time and ability to go through every game and show video evidence of how terrible the refs are (for all teams on any given day)

despite the loss, really liking bams play in this series. he wasnt good offensively against the bucks and was the reason the heat lost last yr. he's been very consistent against the knicks and should be able to take it up a notch against the sixers, which hell need to against embiid
