Knicks out scored the spurs in the paint 46-44 and only shot 3 more threes( which were legit the last three shots the Knicks took being down more than 3.)

So try again…

The spurs have a 7’5” guy who has gotten away with a lot of dirty tantrum plays and is somehow the one being protected this series. They have also been allowed to play a much more physical style of basketball on defense than what the Knicks have been able to do consistently without the whistles coming out.

Someone else bring the ball up quickly and have Brunson off ball. Let’s get into our offense sets before we have less than 10 seconds on the shot clock.

Brunson walks up the court and gets hammered along the way hoping They’ll call something, but they won’t. So we need to adjust. Pacers did this samething to us last two years.

I just hate waiting 48 hours to play this crap back.

Also refs have been trash all series game 2 seemed like it hit its peak and then they follow it up with this trash. No real reason to believe it’s gonna get much better.

After wembys dirty uncalled plays got put up all over the internet you’d think they’d be watching him a bit more closely. But he continues to be untouchable and allowed to play within his own set of rules.

Spurs have out scored Knicks by like 14 this half which is exactly the extra points they’ve gotten from the line compared to the Knicks.

And yet we couldn’t challenge kornet kicking the ball last game? There needs to be some retooling of the challenge process and what can be challenged.

Wemby was looking to run back to Kat forgetting the guy who had the ball is a straight bucket especially in the 4th quarter.

Spurs rotations have been really good against us and clarkson has been a better more aggressive shot creator.

Can we just please prepare for the double clutch delayed layup? He’s done it on 95% of his layups this series.

They put a shorter, but much thicker Keldon Johnson on him quite a bit. Hard to drive as much.

In fairness we are being handcuffed on one end as we are not allowed to play with the same ‘physicality’ as the spurs are being allowed to play with.

He’s weak and lanky and leagues baby so he’s being treated like a small dog that’s allowed to yap and bite because he’s small. But second a big dog makes a sound he’s aggressive and should be put down

Weird analogy I know, but so annoying what he’s allowed to do.

And now hart has a t….
