This guy might be/is the next BIG thing in pro sports! And I thought Ohtani was, but what a game Victor had last night against the defending champs OKC.....i...

professor Chuck calls Spurs 'dumbest basketball team in the history of civilization'

Last night he was 100% correct......but this young Spurs team will get their rewards!
Barkley never did!

I'm old enough to remember one was allowed 1 and half steps and thinking Earl the Pearl carried the ball like a tray.

Did you watch the game? the 2 early fouls on KAT were BS and they changed the tone of the game.

The second half was more balanced. Wemby had an egregious travel that was ignored, but whatever. the Spurs lost it on their own. It'll be interesting to see how they respond Saturday, and if this has a longer term effect on them (see Anderson, Nick, and the Orlando Magic's aborted dynasty)

professor

Nat Did you watch the game?

Yes

Nat the 2 early fouls on KAT were BS and they changed the tone of the game.

From your biased eyes, yes. But he committed those fouls whether you like it or not. First foul he "bodied" him. The second? Excuse me but, wasn't that actually reviewed? Townes did hook Wemby's arm and Wemby played it to the hilt. It's basketball. Probably the hardest sport to officiate.

My take on the game? The Spurs sucked in record fashion in the second half - just horrible. The Knicks deserve all the credit in the world. They didn't quit and it showed - "W". Meh, San Antonio was more stupid. LOL

I don't really "know" NBA, but in my little brain it's not logical that referees could be responsible for a 29 point deficit erasure. Somebody had to basically, well, quit.

Yeah...like they were counting their chickens before they hatched, already considered the first half the win and lost their focus/intensity.

For you Knicks fans - and hoops fans in general. Check out this video. Sorry, but that's "fan interference". Unless it's in New York and you're a Knicks fan. Bush league. Should have called the technical and put 5 seconds on the clock.

Horribly officiated game tonite. The refs should be wearing Spurs shirts.

Typhoon The refs should be wearing Spurs shirts.

Yeah, that's probably why the Knicks shot 10 more free throws than the Spurs!
Great win for NY,only a 53yr wait!👍

Why can't Basketball be Basketball...? And grown men stop griping about officials? The refs let them play and they did. Check your bias at the door.

Wemby is an immature punk. He should’ve been suspended already, and would have been game 6. But it doesn’t matter. The better team won, the better player dominated.

That said, If he wins championships in the future it will be because of this series where he saw how to do it

Typhoon

Nat Right, the Wemby call in the first half that should have been a flagrant with big consequences never happened because….. “insert obvious answer here_______”

And a couple Brunson hits, his 3 point attempt that Wemby and someone else knocked him over on. The one with 10 seconds in the game, Brunson has the ball at mid court and is tackled but no call because he’s a good shooter…. The ball bounces to someone else and they blow the whistle so that guy can shoot and hopefully miss 2.

I’m a Boston guy…. Just loved the way NY played in the playoffs this year. They deserved the win and Brunson the MVP.

He is lucky that Charles Oakley is not out there playing for the Knicks. He would’ve taken care of business, after seeing Wemby take down any of his teammates.
Congratulations to the Knicks, coming from a Celtics fan here. Brunson will be king of New York forever.

professor

Typhoon Brunson has the ball at mid court and is tackled but no call

Not that Brunson didn't make use of forearm shivers to launch opponents and initiate a ton of contact prior to his 3 point plays...
Give it a break.
Both teams played physical and it's clear that the Knicks are deserving Champions. They just wouldn't quit when they were down. Not sure what you were watching - maybe all the flopping on any contact in The World Cup? LOL

professor

Typhoon As I said before, I’m from Boston, we don’t root for ANY NY teams…. I won’t even watch golf at Bethpage because it’s NY

Typhoon Just loved the way NY played in the playoffs this year.

That's pretty funny and beyond ironic.

professor They just wouldn't quit when they were down

They only get about 50% credit from me on this point, as some teams surely would have quit ... but the Spurs made it pretty easy for them to maintain their belief that they might still have a chance.

Entertaining series - without doubt (for drama anyway), but not one for the purist time capsule

Typhoon

professor As I said before, I’m from Boston, we don’t root for ANY NY teams…. I won’t even watch golf at Bethpage because it’s NY so there is no “bias to check at the door” as you said.

I was just watching blatant shit. Forearm shivers happen on both sides, guys flopping …. That’s all normal shit on both sides. And when you think of the reasons for a non call I just shake my head.

The Spurs have a lot of growing up to do.

So true,but look out,they're coming fast!

Thank you
It was so nice to see Oak in SA. His banishment from MSG sucks

professor

Stu1961 not one for the purist time capsule

Purists?!
I'm from the days of Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain. I don't speak about the Celtics - leave it at that.
Palming the ball, carry, travelling - it's not even the "Euro-step". That's all crap. I swear I saw a play last night (don't remember who) where he took the 2 Euro steps, then established his pivot foot and took 2 more. No call.

Nat

darpar

We'll see.
they said the same thing about the Shaq/Penny/Anderson Magic. Tomorrow isn't promised.

Wemby will need to grow up a lot. Harper and Castle are the real deal, but if you're best player is a whiny softy, it'll be hard to win

Purist and NBA are like comparing Martians to Peanut Butter
