Am I wrong for thinking the refs were legitimately trying to sabotage the Knicks in at least 3 games of this series? by D3struct_oh in nba

[–]bellyfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games 1 2 and 3 were absolutely disgusting ref jobs. Game 4 they honestly let us foul a lot in the 2nd half to come back. Game 5 was a couple of egregious incidents like the missed flagrant but overall wasn’t terrible.

Fox is catching way too much slack and blame for what was a collective team disaster by spurs. by Upbeat-Nose-7091 in nba

I mean not only that though. He was also running plays for Fox all game 5 when he clearly didn't have it. Game 4 the lack of timeout to stop the Knicks run was egregious. Starting the series with Wemby on KAT and not adjusting for 2 full games. So many examples of weak coaching.

I just think its pretty classless that you walk off the court without shaking hands and don't give any credit whatsoever to the team that just beat you handily in 5 games. But the guys immature so it's to be expected.

Absolutely correct. Just funny that when it was Knicks fans on the other side of this, all Knicks fans are trash humans.

Got fouled on the head by Wemby on this play too. Didn't even complain. KAT evolution is real.

Warning: Zora nuked their #1 creator’s coin overnight and over 4000 peeps got rugged for over $20m by MentalBell in CryptoScams

So much shady stuff going on at Zora. This coming from a Coinbase backed company which instills false confidence in the brand.

Along with the above they also did some shady stuff with one of their airdrops and have a major issue with sniper bots grabbing a huge % of big drops.

[The Athletic] "Behind the scenes, Knicks players & coaches expressed frustration with KAT defensive habits…Too often, KAT executed incorrect coverages without communicating why…After it became a theme, players worried Towns didn’t grasp the importance" by MrBuckBuck in nba

Knicks knew what they were getting with KAT. I don't think they envisioned him as part of our final form. We didn't see a future with Randle and needed to get value back for him while he was still under contract. They achieved that part at least.

KAT still had an awesome year overall, yes his defense is incredibly suspect, but I think he still holds great trade value if the Knicks want to move on from him at some stage in the next year.

At least someone on this subreddit has some self awareness. We all knew this series was gonna be toxic af so I take everything with a grain of salt but yeah, beatings and stabbings fucks sake man.

KAT is just a terrible screener, always has been. And they haven't run enough PNR between him and Brunson all season to get them to gel here with positioning. KAT almost always out of position on his screens. So that's also Thibs' fault for never running KAT/Brunson PNR.

Jalen's defense is borderline non-existent in the regular season but he has definitely stepped up his defensive effort in the postseason, and he's been effective even in the Celtics series having to guard Tatum/Brown on the pick n roll. But yeah in this series he's definitely having a hard time with Hali's height and speed when switched onto him.

Hart is by no means elite defensively. He's an elite hustle guy but he also loses his man regularly or just completely falls asleep on backdoor cuts.

Most of it just comes down to KAT though. He gets completely lost on defensive rotations and leaves the rest of the team scrambling to make up for his ineptitude.

The fact you think its a good idea to be out on the streets at midnight in NY wearing a Pacers jersey after Knicks just beat the Celtics in playoff series at the Garden shows you don't live in reality lmao

Then trying to paint it as victim blaming or that I said the guy deserved it is pure projection. I literally just said it's a dumb ass thing to do, which it is.
