Ref whining in first 6 minutes of the best of seven series— par for the course for RealGM.

On those fouls, the pair on KAT was legit, both against Tatum and the big man was just too slow keeping up and closing out with the Celtics star.

But they aren't being treated the same as against Detroit.

He's spot-on there.


Well... in view of the last couple of minutes, I may have to stand corrected. It seems they got the advantage in R1 in order to make it to R2, and they may get the advantage in R2 just so they don't get swept off the floor like confetti. But I won't comment on the refs for the rest of the game. I'm watching, but I'll leave y'all in peace on that front. I know it isn't fun to hear.

Be careful, this is one of the first steps towards Knicks fandom.

I actually like Knicks fans. Some of the most passionate fans in all of sports. I could never root for them tho.

I'm sticking with my Hornets. :D

Knicks need to slow down the pace and make this game ugly.

I've seen some bad free throw shooters, but that make by Robinson looked like it was literally an accident.
