'25-26 NBA Thread

Sure, but it was Muggsy, who had his sense of humor surgically removed, so no points for degree of difficulty

True, but still...I find it amazing that anyone could be so completely clueless.

Actually, there are other examples but I would be accused of being political, so I will leave it be.

As post-game criticism of officials go, Brown's comments were pretty benign. Riley, Jackson and others over the years have made far more critical remarks. Same with Redick and Finch earlier this postseason.

I saw it as Brown, who rarely rips refs at all, trying to plant the seed for the next game. And if the Knicks do get more calls in Game 4, it wouldn't be surprising if Mitch Johnson makes similar critical remarks afterward.

Agree, but the Knicks playing better in the 4th quarter would have been a more important factor.

I don't think Brown's tactic-assuming that is what it was-will have much, if any, impact on the next game.

Edit: Wemby has gotten away with some fouls (as do all players), and one non-call involving Wemby with Brunson was especially outrageous. It will be interesting to see if the refs tighten up a bit on him.

Gotta love how the same 10 liberal Scoopers, stroking each other, have to take over a thread with stupid comments!

Thank you for getting this thread back on topic.

Brunson has to play better. Way too much bouncy-ball, just dribbling the shot clock down until there's either a desperation shot or turnover.

The was a 🦣 call reversal on the Towns 2nd foul. 

[The Sultan]

His first one was softie soft too.

And Robinson has been a disaster.

Mike Brown should get Tyko out there.

This has been an incredible quarter for SA. 

[The Sultan]

The Knicks are just falling apart mentally.

[MuggsyB]

Get Alvarado out of the game and Kolek on the floor.

[MuggsyB]

The Knicks are just falling apart mentally.

SA is also draining trifectas.

[MuggsyB]

Uhhh....the Spurs are 🌋 🌋 🌋 🌋.   

[MuggsyB]

Pretty good 1st half for Vassell and Harper.

Wemby is thoroughly enjoying getting into all their heads. The Knicks can't even make FTs at a decent rate. Imagine spending x thousands for a seat to watch this crap. Down by 27 at the half. Wow!

[MuggsyB]

SA doing a lot of idiotic things in the 3Q.

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  This game is long from over. 

[MuggsyB]

This is absolutely incredible!

[Pakuni]

De'Aaron Fox, what are you doing?

[MuggsyB]

OMG!!

[MuggsyB]

We'll never see anything like this again in a Finals game.  Beyond belief. 

[wadesworld]

At least Mitch Johnson hung onto those timeouts as they blew a 29 point lead so he could draw THAT up.

Between having Harper on the bench the last 4 minutes of game 1, basically every single end of quarter play they've run this series, and now this absolute choke job, I wouldn't be confident in him.

[MuggsyB]

They'll be talking about this game the next 100 yrs.  Biggest gag job I've ever seen to be honest.

Well....this certainly did not age well.     

So glad to be so wrong.
