Pretending this "evens out" with a ref imagining a kick ball, after imagining a foul on Haliburton the previous play, and then suddenly calling something that never gets called with 10 seconds left is laughable. If it was a 5 minute report, there are probably 20 other non-calls on both teams for the same things. Who cares?
Don't get me wrong, none of this matters in the least. The series score will not change and we won't be talking about this in a week. I couldn't give less of a **** about either the Knicks or the Pacers. But until the next few games start we have nothing else to talk about.
So, might as well laugh at Knicks fans jedi mind tricking themselves into thinking the NBA transparently trying to cover their ass by noting non-calls on things that are never called, is somehow vindication for the worst sequence of one-sided officiating we've seen in a playoff game in a very long time.
Those same refs also imagined an out of bounds on Brunson that was clearly off Nembhard's leg, we just luckily had a challenge left...and ignored a ton of contact & grabbing on Brunson that affected his movement. They established pretty clearly that they weren't very good throughout the game. How they were ever picked to ref a playoff game is astonishing.
The one I still don't understand at all is the first challenge we won. Unless they just assumed that since Turner didn't even move when Brunson's little body smashed into him, that made it marginal, but that seems like a crazy precedent to set.

Brunson: So what are you paid to do?
