2023-24 NBA (Playoffs!) Thread: end of bench player on Knicks roster feeling self-conscious about not having crippling, season-ending injury (32 Viewers)

Between the legs in a playoff game in The Garden.

Takes some cajones

 

[Jayrod]

I can't remember the last time I've seen an NBA team effectively execute a full court press for most of the game.

They've gotten a few steals out of it.

I don’t think that playing in the garden really phases him…

He may have the bench drive a Kia out for the next dunk!

 

[Mister CIA]

With Wemby being voted unanimous ROY, I saw that he is the 6th to do it. Not on that list of unanimous ROY players is Tim Duncan who finished 1st team all-defense, 1st team All-NBA, and 5th in MVP voting. Three dipshits voted Keith Van Horn. Amazing.

At least one of the three had to be a bitter Boston fan.

 

[The General]

In the face!

 

[Jayrod]

This is a really freaking good game.

 

[dickey moe]

Was that Brandon Marshall in the front row?

 

[The General]

This is a really freaking good game.

Playoff NBA is so good.

 

[Jayrod]

Josh Hart = Himmy Butler?

[The General]

That didn't even look close on Halliburton.

 

[Mister CIA]

Looked like a turnover to me.

 

[Jayrod]

That didn't even look close on Halliburton.

They give Brunson a lot of late game calls.

 

[dickey moe]

Neck and neck.

 

[GroveDiesel]

That didn't even look close on Halliburton.

They give Brunson a lot of late game calls.

And another one. What are these refs on? That wasn’t even close to a kicked ball.

 

[TLEF316]

Lucky break for NY there. That was a lazy pass and did not look like a kick

 

[The General]

These refs missing easy ****

 

[identikit]

Kicked ball looked bogus

NBA can be so ******* stupid sometimes. Why you can’t challenge a kicked ball is asinine. Literally may determine the winner of the game.

 

[The General]

you can't challenge a kicked ball that is obvious but you can a foul call on a shot where all kinds of stuff is happening? WTF is that?

Came in here to post this. Why shouldn’t you be able to challenge a kick ball?!

 

[dickey moe]

Wtf with that call.

 

[AAABatteries]

So they will get to challenge that call (which they should) but not the other one - I’m out. Just idiotic.

 

[The General]

That's a kicked ball

 

[Mister CIA]

Another kicked ball, right?

 

[offdee]

This kicked ball went out of bounds. Guess that’s challengeable. Makes sense.

 

[The General]

NFL replay rules saying WTF with these NBA rules

 

[identikit]

All right Pacers, let's win this thing

 

[dickey moe]

Brunson is ****ing this up.

 

[The General]

Jim Carrey on the Pacers sideline taking this well.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Lmao.

A kicked ball includes intent, which is why you can't challenge it, but I would think whether it even hit the leg or not should be reviewable.

 

[dickey moe]

Turner is ****ing this up.

 

[The General]

come on man

 

[ChicoCat]

Oof.....that call on the pick.

 

[GroveDiesel]

These refs man. To reward that flop…sheesh.

right. It's not if he tried to kick the ball it is that it clearly went off the dude's arm.

 

[SayWhat?]

Why do refs feel the need to make that call, in a game like this, in round 2 of the playoffs? Brutal.

 

[The Gator]

lol, terrible call

 

[Jayrod]

That's worse than the LSU/Iowa women's game.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Well now that was just insanely stupid.

 

[dickey moe]

Making the refs face the camera as they explain things is always a nice touch.

 

[nysfl2]

Good game ruined by terrible reffing (and awful knicks flopping) at the end

 

[Jayrod]

Refs sucked. Brunson was incredible.

Pacers in 7.

 

[Mister CIA]

That was some fishy ####. Glad I don't gamble on this sport

 

[Jayrod]

Without Gobert, ANT may need to score 60 to win tonight.

 

[Major]

That moving screen call is complete bs at that stage in the game. Tough loss for my Pacers. Going to be tough to regroup

 

[the moops]

Yea, terrible calls at the end. I think Knicks in 6 though
