LOL at our main man Perk slamming TNT for its Reggie Miller centric broadcast. Thing is national viewers can't handle what knicks are doing. No mania, no boy band thing, and no romantic notions. They talk about renewing "Rivalry", thats way in the past. Knicks playing important games with meaning are creating new ones.
Maybe this one turns out that way, but the TNT show is getting stale and they have to create content. Breen and Clyde don't.
I thought Reggie was pretty balanced last night as was SVG. Don't mean they were 100% accurate, they are just running out of things to say about Josh and knicks knack of offensive rebounding.

That **** rolls off me. Knicks win by winning!!!!

Is he talking about the box out that was called a loose ball foul? I mean that was a normal play in a basketball game and they got their call so what's the complaint. Does he really think Josh cheapshotted Tyrese? Its well documented that Jalen, Josh and Tyrese became good friends during the Team USA time this summer. They have an active group text and they even referred to him as replacement Donte according to their pod!

In Rick's defense, I did see that live and thought we were lucky it wasn't called a foul. But nothing egregious. Carlisle seems to think it should've been a flagrant 2. Hope Indy doesn't draw Philly or Miami in a series next year.

Yeah not even sure what's happening here but it doesnt knock Haliburton down and he doesn't even react to it or lose possession and its not even in the 3rd Q. Sure prob should be a foul and maybe a take foul, but seems like a major overrecation.

My favorite part is the twitter replies where they call it so incredibly dirty/egregious and at the same time complain that Tyrese should have flopped in order to sell it. Logic doesn't even make sense.

Hali does get propelled forward. No harm. Nobody was hurt. Not a flagrant in my opinion but a foul.
I don't think Carlisle is saying his team was denied a win, just not getting calls that should be.
Nurse seemed to freak out over everything.
ON the double dribble maybe he was thinking Thibs had to burn a time out to get a challange?
What I saw was his team not poised to execute the last 3 minutes. We beat them on the boards. iHart and precious ere great.

Double dribble cannot be challenged, but the refs quickly huddled after the call and changed the call. That happens all the time and the point being is that wasn't a replay review, that was one ref overturning another ref. Was awkward because they called it an "inadvertant whistle" when the ref who called it made a clear signal.

Twitter freakout cite a double standard, asking why the refs didn't huddle to overturn the kickball. That seems to ignore that with the naked eye in real time, that looked like a Kickball to practically everyone, and it was extremely difficult to have seen that it hit Nesmith's hand. Its not really a comparable situation, but internet rage/cognitive dissonance is the definition of the new age.

This man is wise. Though i would prefer going right at those guys

If thibs wants to pump them up they should show video of how they’re grabbing and roughing up JB and then juxtapose with crybaby Carlisle

Pacers are playing intense but fair. I don’t see any Knicks being overly aggressive or bad. The Hart push might be the worst I’ve seen from us. After he got pushed in Philly, I think guys are testing the thresholds a bit.

Games are tough but I don’t see any Embiid level attempts to hurt people or any Lowry level holds.
