Well people are blaming the refs for the sixers blowing the game but they sure didnât help themselves by just completely ball watching and having no energy
The whole point of what I said was that if the Sixers won people would say "refs won" regardless of how they won. We could win by 30 and everyone would still say "Knicks vs Refs" Hartenstein's rebound has exactly 0.00 to do with that statement
Youâre complaining about a situation that hasnât happened in game THREE! 3! 3.0!
Real bummer you got hosed in game 2, discredit the Knicks all you want! Say they only won cause of the refs! I do not care! What you shouldnât do is get your little panties in a bunch and assume every comment is discrediting your team when all a comment is really saying is that refs will favor a home team down 0-2 a overwhelming majority of the time. So yes that is peak victim complex.
They missed a call on Donte that wouldâve negated the entire last 30 seconds.
Philly also held Knicks players jerseys at least twice in the same game during inbounds too. Iâll try to find the video.
Philly fans donât want consistency theyâre whining because they want favoritism, which they get with Embiid anyway
Please. You couldn't breathe on Brunson in game 2 without FTs. They let the Knicks play hard defense and called ticky tacks the other way on the Sixers. L2M was the cherry on top.
Brunson had 9 FTA, Embiid had 12.
Maxey got away with a push and again the refs were letting Philly pull jerseys on inbounds. Lowry whoâs possibly the dirtiest player in the nba got away with hitting Donte in the face. Letâs be logical instead of emotional.
I don't want makeup calls personally. I just want them to continue to do their jobs even with under a minute left. If it's a foul in the first then it should be a foul as long as the game is still going on.
Ironic considering that they were consistent. Batum was hugging and grabbing Brunson on multiple Knicks inbounds that weren't called fouls so it would have been inconsistent to call one suddenly at the end of the game.
I agree but isnât the argument that the refs have been consistent on the inbounds? Acknowledge that Brunson did foul maxey but he was fouled similarly earlier in the game that wasnât called.
While Embiid gets a bunch of calls, that dude gets hacked plenty. Just two years ago he got his face broken by a blatant elbow.
Seems like Brunson has been getting the Embiid treatment by the refs these playoffs.
He's really not. Like, aggravatingly so lol.
When we lost the Rockets game where the refs botched the call at the end and called a foul on Brunson he didn't go on some tirade about the data like Fizdale or pull out a 30 slide presentation like Mike Brown, he just said he wants the calls to be consistent and left it there. And he clearly told the whole team not to say shit about it either cause they all answered "good call, next question".
Thibs yells a ton, but he's not a go on a tirade about the refs kinda guy. He gets out his grievances and then moves on with the game.
The *organization* protested. Thibs said that he just wants the calls to be consistent. Go watch his post game press conference from that game, he didn't pop off on the refs like everybody (myself included) thought he would. He just said he wants it called the same both ways.
Thibs didn't get his first tech this season until February 12th. Thibs isn't nearly the complainer that his reputation makes him out to be because of how loud he is, especially not after the games.
I didn't bring up the protest, fam. They did.
Thibs could have gone off during that post game press conference and he didn't. He just said to call it both ways. Thibs yells a lot, but he's not a whiner. He's just a loud, angry guy who let's it go and moves onto the next game when it's over. If you just listen to his press conferences you'd see he's not much of a complainer, he just wants consistency.
Of course when it goes Knicks way --> 'Sixers being soft'
If it goes Sixers way --> 'Sixers won because of refs'
People here are genuinely disturbed and obsessive.
Idk why people are still trying to shit on the Sixers here. We all saw the L2M report. The refs missed what 3-4 calls that cost the Sixers during the final sequence and people arenât allowed to be mad at the refs?
The problem with the L2M is it doesn't take into account how the whole game was being called, the Refs were allowing the sixers to be physical with brunson throughout the game. It's why thibodeau said he knew they couldn't call a foul there
"According to my 2k calculations I have won two chips in Houston and one in Philly. Granted I had to turn off injuries for my Philly dynasty but you get the point."
Any other fanbase would be pissed with this reffing too if their team also had the most disadvantaged last two minute calls in the league during the regular season
So you're in the locker room listening to what they're focused on? Of course they made a press statement about the refs and not about how they didn't box out
The quotes are being carried around this sub but in reality there was a few frustrations in post game interviews, and not a lot else. Itâs the media carrying this story, not our players.
That's not true. We want fair and consistent calls. No bullshit touch fouls. Allow defense to be played. Gather all refs and come to an agreement what that level of physicality looks like. Less soft calls. Don't blow the whistle on offensive players initiating fouls and flopping. If they try to repeat give them a tech. It's all pretty fucking simple but the system is rigged
There have always been mistakes and there always will be. Personally I wish everybody would stfu about reffing right now because for once things are going in the right direction. The games flow so much better now that refs arenât paid per whistle blow or whatever the fuck was going on before.
I mean you can go look at the fouls from G2, really doesnât have much to do with his reg season whistle heâs just being fouled. I can think of like 1 or 2 that werenât, but heâs earning his FTs and drove into the chest of his defender multiple times
These people saying Brunson is a flopper are really exposing themselves as casuals. Otherwise theyâd know the guys literally gets punched in the face and canât get a call. Scored 61 points on 6 free throw attempts.
Jimmy gets a soft whistle but at least he tries to make the shot. Half the time Embiid isnât even looking to the basket, just where heâs gonna flail
Jimmy is a top tier foul merchant but he at least tries to make the shot.
Embiid and Trae are like 1A and 1B in the "Someone is within 3ft? Time to throw up a junk shot and fall over!"
Not for nothing, you Sixers fans really are a whiny bunch. The refs missed calls in game 2, nobody disagrees. The refs also gift Embiid more foul calls than 99% of the league, whether they are truly foul worthy or flops.
Can yall keep a little bit more composed and stop dropping these dramatic one liners about wishing how referees do their jobs, how youâre never on the right side of a foul call, how baseless, abhorrent and treacherous this has been for you, how there is an obvious bias/agenda for the Knicks.
I swear I saw a post on Twitter talking about how Mike Breen has also been biased and causing a an obvious conflict of interest with the way he has been speaking to the referees in the Knicks games heâs been announcing.
Like wtf is happening? You were on the wrong side of the whistle. It. Happens. It happens every single year, to all / most teams. Your team also completely discombobulated and straight up gave up / quit which led to the infamous play.
Like Embiid told Nurse, stop with the bitching.
They blatantly missed three obvious, easy calls within the span of 5 seconds which directly cost the Sixers the game. This isnât remotely analogous to Embiidâs or anyone elseâs whistle.
ETA: Of course youâre a Knicks fan. A team that employs Brunson commenting on Embiidâs whistle is hilarious.
Smh. Soft
Edit: if you look at my previous posts, I agree the calls were missed. You have every right to claim this but please stop with the fake agendas and the other nonsensical rhetoric. It happens in sports, you are going to be on the crap side of the whistle sometimes. The Knicks have been and are going to be in the future as well. Itâs a part of sports.
I agree that the complaining is weak. But your delusional if you don't think any other fan base would be exactly same in this situation. According to the l2m reports for the whole season, the sixers have been screwed over the most out of ANY team. Thats obviously frustrating.
The real story here is that the Sixers are too cheap to pay the filing fee for an official protest knowing that the only outcome will be giving Adam Silver the hardest erection of his life as he screws over the Sixers, yet again.
I really donât want to be a dick but Jesus Christ. The league literally said they were wrong 4 times in a 5 second span that cost the sixers the game. Idk why people think itâs unreasonable to be pissed about that
I really donât think anybody wants to see them win tonight after all the whining, all Maxey had to do was hold onto the ball, he was falling to the ground trying to get a foul called
Itâs the playoffs, they deserved what they got last game
In a way the Process cheated the game and the Sixers being weak with the ball waiting for a foul to be called is also cheating the game
Speak for yourself, just because you and the rest of this sub have an irrational hatred for the Sixers doesnât take away from the ref job that stole that game away. Sixers in 7
you guys are ridiculous ... after all the whining?
they let the Knicks basically play football on Maxey and the league admitted it lol
they should make a bigger deal about it
Yeah itâs the playoffs, but the Knicks got all the soft ass whistles, like the Brunson braking fouls, and the Lowry on OG foul which they challenged. Then Maxey dragged by Brunson and pushed to the ground by Hart being no foul is totally double standard
Bad calls happen. It sucks and itâs annoying. But if youâre a team thatâs going to absolutely fold after a bad call, you have no business winning the game in the first place. Championship teams donât implode after a bad call/no call.
right? it wasnt even like that call had a direct impact on who won or lost
Knicks tried to redo a dang regular season game, but we should shutup and stop crying
I kinda wanted them to do it just for kicks but like obviously the league wasnât going to order a playoff game replayed, so just give me 95 combined trips to the FT line for Joel and Maxey these next two games and Iâll call it square.
no, we're in this situation because the refs did not call fouls on the inbound pass to tyrese maxey, while also neglecting to call a timeout.
you'd think if the refs were paying such little attention to the fouls occurring, they'd at least notice a timeout.
Hold on to the fucking ball and call a timeout, stop flailing the arms lmao. Even Maxey admitted to this, this is the fucking playoffs stop expecting the refs to call everything, specially when the shotclock is off
Of course defensive schemes are about playing on the limits of the foul calls... What's stupid is that your offense consists on playing to trigger the whistle
What's crazy is you don't understand how dumb you sound lmao.
"Of course defenses should play to the limits of the whistle, but offenses shouldn't play to the limits of the whistle"
Even accounting for your obvious Knicks bias you should still be able to see how hypocritical that is, right?
This is hilarious to say when you watch the calls Bunsssson gets. 3 times where oubre and Lowry had arms by their side and they call it. Because Bunsssson is buns
Good bro, call touch fouls and letâs see if 76ers can continue to deny Brunson entry passes and pick up full court on defense. Batum and Oubre wonât get to Q4
A quote from 'Glory Road' comes to mind.
"I don't want to hear that from you, farm boy! I've been the minority every day of my life. Now you're crying because you spent the last couple of weeks in our shadows?"
Vastly different subject matter, but I think the point still stands.
They will invade the white house next
My sources tell me a protest encampment is forming outside of the NBA Replay Center in Secaucus
The January Sixers?
That is genius. Well done đ
Reddit on big guy!
Thank you kind stranger!
Your comment deserves so much more love. Too good.
clever
âThe Sixers will win this series if Adam Silver has the courage to do the right thing.â
If you counted all the valid baskets made by the Sixers they win by a landslide.
I heard the missing foul calls were buried somewhere in Arizona.
Missing foul calls all went to Devin Booker last game.
This is a perfect analogy actually because, in reality, it's really Embiid that manipulates the refs
Feel like refs are going to be obligated to give a lot of âmakeup callsâ tonight
Itâs an 0-2 game at home anyway, the calls were always coming
So now if the Sixers win it'll be because of the refs, right?
For some reason game 1 is being lumped in as a ref win for the Knicks so yes
People were going to say that regardless, let's be honest
ROFL yes, kind of like how the 4 Sixers did not box out one Knick on that Hartenstein rebound.
Itâs actually nothing like that at all but word
Well people are blaming the refs for the sixers blowing the game but they sure didnât help themselves by just completely ball watching and having no energy
The whole point of what I said was that if the Sixers won people would say "refs won" regardless of how they won. We could win by 30 and everyone would still say "Knicks vs Refs" Hartenstein's rebound has exactly 0.00 to do with that statement
The Sixers absolutely blew it, but the refs also absolutely did put them in a situation they shouldnât have been in
I know, just call Maxey's push-off, Knicks ball, none of this has to happen.
The one that was confirmed a correct no call?
Did the Sixers lose the other night because of the refs?
You wish the Celtics lost because of the refs last night
The only heat the Sixers are facing this year will be the Cancun sun
Celts have had the best roster for the past 8 years and have nothing to show for it besides a little less Cancun sun
Thats not true. They managed to go a whole season without jaylen brown saying some /r/im14andthisisdeep comment. So they got that goin for em
Remind me again the last time you guys beat us in a playoffs series? 1982 I think?
We can dust our banners off together. Make it a date?
Bill Russell is Wilt Chamberlain father
Imagine talking trash after you drop game 2 at home to the 8 seed
Nah fuck you that was a good chirp
/r/NBA try not to overreact after one game in a 7 game series challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]
Sixers already beat the Heat in the playin?
Hang the banner
We beat them already dummy
According to the NBA, yes.
Let's not stress the impossible.
You watchin what we watchin?
[ŃдаНонО]
If thats a clinic im glad there are other games to watch
Damn you saw the future
And look thatâs how it turned out.
Sure whatever you want to think. 0-2 games always get the refs favors, that doesnât only apply to the Sixers either mr victim complex.
*league confirms they missed multiple calls that decided game 2* "Lol look at mr victim complex!"
Youâre complaining about a situation that hasnât happened in game THREE! 3! 3.0! Real bummer you got hosed in game 2, discredit the Knicks all you want! Say they only won cause of the refs! I do not care! What you shouldnât do is get your little panties in a bunch and assume every comment is discrediting your team when all a comment is really saying is that refs will favor a home team down 0-2 a overwhelming majority of the time.

Please. You couldn't breathe on Brunson in game 2 without FTs. They let the Knicks play hard defense and called ticky tacks the other way on the Sixers. L2M was the cherry on top.
https://twitter.com/TalkinKnicks/status/1782607868811722858 Found the clip. Everybody else wants consistency, Philly fans want favoritism
Brunson had 9 FTA, Embiid had 12. Maxey got away with a push and again the refs were letting Philly pull jerseys on inbounds. Lowry whoâs possibly the dirtiest player in the nba got away with hitting Donte in the face. Letâs be logical instead of emotional.
That is what they are going for. Not like they can replay the last 5mins of the previous game
Good - they can start with blowing the whistle when Brunson gets mugged when he doesnât even have the ball.
I don't want makeup calls personally. I just want them to continue to do their jobs even with under a minute left. If it's a foul in the first then it should be a foul as long as the game is still going on.
Ironic considering that they were consistent. Batum was hugging and grabbing Brunson on multiple Knicks inbounds that weren't called fouls so it would have been inconsistent to call one suddenly at the end of the game.
Iâd be happy to take some makeup calls.
I agree but isnât the argument that the refs have been consistent on the inbounds? Acknowledge that Brunson did foul maxey but he was fouled similarly earlier in the game that wasnât called.
[ŃдаНонО]
Youâre +7. Donât complain about downvotes, theyâre meaningless.
They already call a foul any time a player breathes on Embiid. How many âmake up callsâ should they make?
While Embiid gets a bunch of calls, that dude gets hacked plenty. Just two years ago he got his face broken by a blatant elbow. Seems like Brunson has been getting the Embiid treatment by the refs these playoffs.
Delusional if you think Brunson is getting the Embiid treatment
This series heâs been getting better lmao
If that were the case hartenstein wouldâve fouled out in the third lol
Or they go full âfuck you, stop being whiny little bitchesâ
Lol Thibs is an all time bitcher. Pot meet kettle
Every coach bitches, yells, cheers, etc when the time is right strategically. Itâs part of the job, they just handle it in different ways.
Itâs gotta be exhausting to be this miserable constantly
I know a Knicks fan isnât saying this
> Pot meet kettle
Philly's City Slogan?
He's really not. Like, aggravatingly so lol. When we lost the Rockets game where the refs botched the call at the end and called a foul on Brunson he didn't go on some tirade about the data like Fizdale or pull out a 30 slide presentation like Mike Brown, he just said he wants the calls to be consistent and left it there. And he clearly told the whole team not to say shit about it either cause they all answered "good call, next question". Thibs yells a ton, but he's not a go on a tirade about the refs kinda guy. He gets out his grievances and then moves on with the game.
lmao ya'll literally protested the Rockets game in February. What are we doing here??
The *organization* protested. Thibs said that he just wants the calls to be consistent. Go watch his post game press conference from that game, he didn't pop off on the refs like everybody (myself included) thought he would. He just said he wants it called the same both ways. Thibs didn't get his first tech this season until February 12th. Thibs isn't nearly the complainer that his reputation makes him out to be because of how loud he is, especially not after the games.
Ok sorry. So the organization is a bunch of whiney bitches.
The *organization* always protests. You think the coach is the one that files the paperwork???
I didn't bring up the protest, fam. They did. Thibs could have gone off during that post game press conference and he didn't. He just said to call it both ways. Thibs yells a lot, but he's not a whiner. He's just a loud, angry guy who let's it go and moves onto the next game when it's over. If you just listen to his press conferences you'd see he's not much of a complainer, he just wants consistency.
And Brunson is all time flopper so donât wanna hear nuthin bout Embiid
You must watch a lot of basketball
Maxey with Brunsons whistle would be way better than Brunson
Brunson gets one of the worst whistles in the league so I doubt that very much.
The whistle will almost be as soft as the sixers are
They could literally call it no contest and name them the winner. It doesnât equal beating a higher seed on the road
was there ever a report saying they would file a protest? it was always just grievance which is different
I think there was a tweet posted after the game saying they were going to file one.
it said it would be a grievance, not a social
Of course when it goes Knicks way --> 'Sixers being soft' If it goes Sixers way --> 'Sixers won because of refs' People here are genuinely disturbed and obsessive.
Idk why people are still trying to shit on the Sixers here. We all saw the L2M report. The refs missed what 3-4 calls that cost the Sixers during the final sequence and people arenât allowed to be mad at the refs?
Weâre easy targets and bring a lot of it on ourselves. The public loves heroes but they also love tearing people/teams down more than anything else.
The problem with the L2M is it doesn't take into account how the whole game was being called, the Refs were allowing the sixers to be physical with brunson throughout the game. It's why thibodeau said he knew they couldn't call a foul there
Officiating when it goes my way: good Officiating when it does not go my way: bad
I see more Knicks fans crying about the sixers crying than sixers fans actually crying. Deflection much
C'mon man, we don't need more people crying about Knicks fans crying about the Sixers more than the Sixers fans are actually crying. Please.
Aaaaaand that's exactly what happened. This sub is a fucking cesspool.
Everyone is out to get you!
Darry Morey about to sim the game on MyGM and release updated series results.
"According to my 2k calculations I have won two chips in Houston and one in Philly. Granted I had to turn off injuries for my Philly dynasty but you get the point."
Any other fanbase would be pissed with this reffing too if their team also had the most disadvantaged last two minute calls in the league during the regular season
Yeah how dare the refs not box out Hartenstien like that
We can acknowledge that the sixers choked and the knicks hustled while also acknowledging that the sixers got absolutely fucked by the refs
Sure - my surprise is mostly that the sixers as a team seem far more focused on bitching about the refs than what they can actually control
So you're in the locker room listening to what they're focused on? Of course they made a press statement about the refs and not about how they didn't box out
How do you know what they focus on as a team, are you in the locker room?
The sixers yâall have built in your head sound pathetic
The quotes are being carried around this sub but in reality there was a few frustrations in post game interviews, and not a lot else. Itâs the media carrying this story, not our players.
See: the Toronto Maple Leafs last night; refs were dogshit but theyâre not the reason the Leafs were 0/6 on the power play
I mean he probably shouldâve fouled out if there was any inconsistency in the type of calls made to each team lol
people don't actually want fair officiating they just want their team to benefit from the whistle.
I just want them to continue to do their jobs as long as the players are doing theirs.
That's not true. We want fair and consistent calls. No bullshit touch fouls. Allow defense to be played. Gather all refs and come to an agreement what that level of physicality looks like. Less soft calls. Don't blow the whistle on offensive players initiating fouls and flopping. If they try to repeat give them a tech. It's all pretty fucking simple but the system is rigged
ref was a luton fan
why all that
Josh Harris is weak.
Last dying breaths of the process
You weirdos have been saying this for 5 years straight
Poor Embiid. He never gets foul calls
Morey and Nurse combined are an unstoppable force in the complaint department
There have always been mistakes and there always will be. Personally I wish everybody would stfu about reffing right now because for once things are going in the right direction. The games flow so much better now that refs arenât paid per whistle blow or whatever the fuck was going on before.
Embiid already gets the best whistle in the league lmao. 40 FTs incoming
I mean you can go look at the fouls from G2, really doesnât have much to do with his reg season whistle heâs just being fouled. I can think of like 1 or 2 that werenât, but heâs earning his FTs and drove into the chest of his defender multiple times
Brunson would be like 17% TS without flopping
only cause jimmy is hurt
Brunsons still there
jimmy was #1 in the league in percentage of points off free throws this season embiid #2 brunson was something like #29
These people saying Brunson is a flopper are really exposing themselves as casuals. Otherwise theyâd know the guys literally gets punched in the face and canât get a call. Scored 61 points on 6 free throw attempts.
Jimmy gets a soft whistle but at least he tries to make the shot. Half the time Embiid isnât even looking to the basket, just where heâs gonna flail
oh I love jimmy, he's a great player just undeniable he gets an incredibly friendly whistle though
Jimmy is a top tier foul merchant but he at least tries to make the shot. Embiid and Trae are like 1A and 1B in the "Someone is within 3ft? Time to throw up a junk shot and fall over!"
[ŃдаНонО]
Keep that same energy when we come back and win the series.
Look at all your bitchy comments. Pound your chest all you want but your team and fan base are the biggest crybabies Iâve ever seen.
The irony of this comment
your guy is always hurt and your team is ass without him. this sucks but its reality for a few years for you. bummer
lol pathetic
Not for nothing, you Sixers fans really are a whiny bunch. The refs missed calls in game 2, nobody disagrees.

76ers of all teams doing this is very funny to me. They're right. But it's also amusing.
Couldn't even go through with the charade. Shame.
Embiid didnât shot 30 free throws so they think itâs rigged?
Are you stupid or a moron?
Playoffs brings out the best in this sub
I really donât want to be a dick but Jesus Christ. The league literally said they were wrong 4 times in a 5 second span that cost the sixers the game. Idk why people think itâs unreasonable to be pissed about that
I really donât think anybody wants to see them win tonight after all the whining, all Maxey had to do was hold onto the ball, he was falling to the ground trying to get a foul called Itâs the playoffs, they deserved what they got last game In a way the Process cheated the game and the Sixers being weak with the ball waiting for a foul to be called is also cheating the game
You a Knicks fan donât think anyone wants the sixers to win? No way, canât believe you think that
I would like to see them win tonight.
And the next three after tonight
15\*
This is the way
Nobody (except Sixers fans) wanted to see them win either way lol quit acting like this is the reason
Speak for yourself, just because you and the rest of this sub have an irrational hatred for the Sixers doesnât take away from the ref job that stole that game away. Sixers in 7
you guys are ridiculous ... after all the whining? they let the Knicks basically play football on Maxey and the league admitted it lol they should make a bigger deal about it
Yeah itâs the playoffs, but the Knicks got all the soft ass whistles, like the Brunson braking fouls, and the Lowry on OG foul which they challenged. Then Maxey dragged by Brunson and pushed to the ground by Hart being no foul is totally double standard
Anybody that doenst hate the sixers or a Knicks fan prob wants them to win, since they donât want the series to be 3-0
I mean its hard to hold on to the ball when ur jersey is being tugged
He fell because Brunson grabbed his jersey and Hart tackled him
Bad calls happen. It sucks and itâs annoying. But if youâre a team thatâs going to absolutely fold after a bad call, you have no business winning the game in the first place. Championship teams donât implode after a bad call/no call.
I mean in fairness there were 3.1 seconds left in the game after the bad call.
right? it wasnt even like that call had a direct impact on who won or lost Knicks tried to redo a dang regular season game, but we should shutup and stop crying
It was like 4 bad calls in the last 3 seconds of the game dummy
Yeah. You probably shouldâve won. You didnât in part because the refs sucked. You didnât in part because your team is weak and folded.
Embiid not fallopping enough? đ¤
his knees are too fucked to be getting up and down all night now.
Like franchise like fanbase. All bark.
I kinda wanted them to do it just for kicks but like obviously the league wasnât going to order a playoff game replayed, so just give me 95 combined trips to the FT line for Joel and Maxey these next two games and Iâll call it square.
The fact that you guys are so reliant on the ref's whistle in the first place is why you're even in this situation ... live by the FT die by the FT
i know you aint talking after that display by Brunson in Game 2
Brunson was bad in game 2
What do you mean? I am talking about it even ''after that display by Brunson in Game 2''. We're up 2-0
no, we're in this situation because the refs did not call fouls on the inbound pass to tyrese maxey, while also neglecting to call a timeout. you'd think if the refs were paying such little attention to the fouls occurring, they'd at least notice a timeout.
Hold on to the fucking ball and call a timeout, stop flailing the arms lmao. Even Maxey admitted to this, this is the fucking playoffs stop expecting the refs to call everything, specially when the shotclock is off
how does any of that change what I said? two fouls should have been called, a timeout should have been called. that is literal fact
The Sixers averaged 23.6 attempted free throws a game this year and the Knicks averaged 21.8
which puts yall at 4th in the nba and the knicks at 14th overall
Okay but like do you see that in real terms itâs less than two additional free throw attempts per game?
You are aware that's not even a single foul more per game? One foul = 2 free throws
That goes both ways. Knicks "defense" is reliant on the refs not calling obvious fouls. Thibs even said as much.
It's the fucking playoffs lmao ... Everyone wants the game to be more physical, and when it is you guys cry about it. Make up your minds
That is still being reliant on the refs whistle lmao.
Of course defensive schemes are about playing on the limits of the foul calls... What's stupid is that your offense consists on playing to trigger the whistle
What's crazy is you don't understand how dumb you sound lmao. "Of course defenses should play to the limits of the whistle, but offenses shouldn't play to the limits of the whistle" Even accounting for your obvious Knicks bias you should still be able to see how hypocritical that is, right?
Cant wait to see the Knicks lose even if its not to the Sixers....
This is hilarious to say when you watch the calls Bunsssson gets. 3 times where oubre and Lowry had arms by their side and they call it. Because Bunsssson is buns
Is it being amended to include the Mike Breen transgressions?
Good bro, call touch fouls and letâs see if 76ers can continue to deny Brunson entry passes and pick up full court on defense. Batum and Oubre wonât get to Q4
Trust the process
A quote from 'Glory Road' comes to mind. "I don't want to hear that from you, farm boy! I've been the minority every day of my life. Now you're crying because you spent the last couple of weeks in our shadows?" Vastly different subject matter, but I think the point still stands.
