Do certain refs actually favor one team vs another we just feel like they not for knicks given thats mostly what we watch?

Im of the mindset that a 12 game win streak thru the playoffs are proving knicks are just too good for any ref to interfere, or perhaps our team is getting conspiratorial love in their direction.
What is the logic for league to not at the very least be neutral for Knicks?

I stand corrected. Brothers is a corrupt mofo but Knicks too good to take game. From!

This game took years out of my life. I've never felt that much anxiety and anguish during a game! We survived! No other way I can put it! It was a lot of luck and divine intervention but you need that to win! Give the Spurs a lot of credit. They battled and played their hearts out! It's just not their time. Not right now!

This was the KAT and Kal game. Through 2 games, KAT has been our MVP. He's doing it on both ends and only the corrupt zebras can stop him. Those were such cheap and bull**** calls! Still had 21/13/4 and would have had 30/20/7 if the game was called right. He was outplaying Wemby and I don't think Wemby get's in a rhythm if KAT is in the game in the second half. But give credit to this team! Kal made some insane clutch shots! OG was also good and I knew it was only a matter of time before he yammed one over Wemby!

Roomates were not good. I know Brunson hit ANOTHER clutch shot but he needs to start playing better if we're going to finish this. He's getting mugged but that was expected. He's missing too many good open looks. I know I might be harsh but 7/25 and 4 turnovers is not good enough! But he's Captain Ckutch. Made that huge steal off the Wemby turnover but only made 1 of 2 FT's which again is not good enough! Had we lose this game, he'd get the blame. And Hart hasn't gotten a fair whistle but he can also do better. Needs to knock down some open looks!

The bench was great! Shamet and Deuce made some huge shots! Deuce with that midrange pullup and Shamet with the three! Great sign to see Mitch catch and finish an alley oop and made both FT's on the last hack-a-Mitch.

FUCK TONY BOTHERS AND TYLER FORD! They made some horrendous calls! A foul on Brunson for glazing Vassell's hair? Flagrant on Hart for grabbing an ankle by clear accident? All the hook fouls on KAT?! As much as we survived the Spurs, we also survived these two biased idiots!!

SERIES IS NOT OVER AT 2-0! ASK MIKAL BRIDGES!!! Got to finish the job! These Spurs will not quit or go away quietly!

Someone made a clip of the Spurs last second chuck towards the basket and them walking all dejected back to their lockeroom with the clown music soundtrack 🤣

KAT wsa fantastic. Fck Them Refs for sidelining him. This game was over until they sandbagged KAT to give Wemby a chance. Fcking Cheaters. FU Adam Silver

Great games by OG and Bridges

NOTE: Deuce's ball handling has been disastrous. We've got issues with protecting the ball when he's on the floor with Alvarado

On point. We need to refine deuces role

I know I'm a broken record about Kolek, but he's a better shooter than Alvarado and he's much better ball handler than either of them and our offense typically locks in when he's on the floor. We really need to pair one of those two with Kolek, but the two of them should never be on the floor together. I'd even prefer Clarkson to handle the ball over GTA and Deuce.

It is my only remaining complaint, because otherwise Brown deserves all the compliments in the world for getting us to play elite ball at both ends of the court.

Don't disagree on Kolek part BUT thought Jose has been solid last 2 games.

Hell we were rolling until Brown subbed most of starters back -- think it was Jose/Deuce/Mikal/Shamet/Mitch where lead was around 10 and then we subbed and slubbed rest of way.

Think Kolek is going to be a LEGIT problem next year.

Jose has been a bit better this series than the earlier series. He's OK. As long as he doesn't turn it over I can live with him since we're here, we're lit and this team is the sh!t

Saying he’s a bit better maybe true but he still stinks as a pg. he honestly never creates a shot for someone, picks up his dribble at strange spots, can’t shoot, and is too small. For sure he provides energy but twice in this playoffs (McCollum and champagnie) he’s poked a bear that almost bit us in the rear. I will concede his teammates like him and chemistry is our super power. On merit Kolek should be playing instead of Jose especially when brown is sending out Jose w McBride Who I like but not as a pg

Yes Kolek is a better PG on offense than deuce but Kolek can’t stop a cold.

Jose, deuce, shamet, Mikal and Mitch. This is our best defensive lineup off the bench. Brown is a smart coach who understands that defense wins championships even though deuce handle is suspect. But that’s not new, his defense and scoring is why he’s on the floor. Jose shot is streaky but his tenacity on defense is infectious.

Kolek can not match these guys defensive energy right now. If he wants playing time under this coach, he needs to get stronger this summer and work on his defense otherwise he will be in the same position next season. Cheering from the bench.

Why are you saying Jose is a better defender? I disagree but am all ears

He was sagging off champagnie in game 1 gambling as some unneeded help defender. He talks trash that he can’t back up, and though energy is infectious he sulks whenever he’s taken out. He’s more of a mascot than a contributor IMO

Kolek needs to work on defense for sure but two points. (1) the biggest issue is whether he is net positive. Does he help more on offense than he hurts on defense. And IMO he does because our team actually has flow w him running the point. (2) particularly against SA I’m less worried about his defense if it means that SA focuses on attacking Kolek rather than feeding wemby

This is nuts. I think the Knicks should compile this and send to league. In years past Phil Jackson used to use the press conferences but not sure how effective that is in today’s nba

Instead fans exposing this on social media is a way of showing the league fans are watching and this is crap. Eg I think this was instrumental in the SA OKC series where OKC flopping was put in huge spotlight.

It’s time for fans to put ref crap in spotlight. Screw the L2M report which is a joke because it never touches the key issue of whether whistles were consistent. Screw the FT discrepancy which doesn’t account for hack a Mitch and more importantly whether the whistle was consistent.

I would love it if there was a bona fide credentialed content creator to report on the refs. I would follow that

I don’t think brothers is corrupt but he’s way past his prime. Fortunately we should have better crews at MSG like Garza.

Refs must feel even worse as their plans went down.

This is Alpha's plea for more big girls to be sent his way, I can read the undercurrents

Alpha needs more carbs. LIke them big bottom girls!
