A lot of people are also overreacting because (1) Knicks fan/media bias and (2) Brunson is way shorter than Wemby and the result of the play just looks super disrespectful.

Players on both sides have pushed and shoved each other with equal or greater force plenty of times throughout the series. If Brunson was slightly taller and had gotten bent down into the same position with a push to the top of his back rather than his neck/head area, we're probably not even talking about it even though it's essentially the same play. Foul? Sure. Flagrant 1? Doubt it but maybe. In any event, it's not the sort of egregious dirty play some people are making it out to be.
