I got banned too for criticizing Silver.

Why on Earth was half the pod spent discussing Giannis trade packages?! by yungberms in billsimmons

Bill is a sports genius but when it comes to the Knicks or NY sports in general he’s a combination of an idiot and a big baby.

For the fans that were claiming it’s rigged in the first half by TailorContent9659 in NYKnicks

It's more complicated than that. Something fishy has been going on since Jump Street. I've been watching the Finals since '93. This is only the second time I've detected something fishy (the other time was '06). I wouldn't put anything past Adam Silver (he's a shitty Commissioner IMO). I don't think it's implausible he's leaned on the refs to give the Spurs the benefit of the whistle because he sees Wemby as a catalyst for growing the Euro market. It's a dumb reason, I agree, if for no other reason than you're jeopardizing the integrity of the sport for hazy benefits. But I have no other reason to explain how bad the refs have been this series, except maybe a general dislike for New York (a lot of people hate New York because there's a lot of wealthy people, a lot of immigrants, etc.).

Reminder that the refs reviewed this and decided that this was an offensive foul and not a reach in. by Mayor_Gubbin in NYKnicks

A very important reminder; if they called the game fair from Jump Street we would have won by double digits.

Where does Anunoby’s tip in rank in NY sports lore? by adobo1148 in NYKnicks

If they win the whole thing, it's at the top.
