@OnyxOdds @ShamsCharania One of these is a player safety concern the league was trying to find work around a for. The other is just a big guy moving a small guy.

No flagrant upgrade on the uncalled foul of Spurs' Victor Wembanyama to Knicks' Jalen Brunson on Monday night, a league spokesperson tells ESPN. Wembanyama will stay at two flagrant points in postseason.

@SamQuinnCBS The players also left the bench after the timeout was called by the spurs then the scuffle happened. The order of events matter
English
FWIW the NBA has basically stopped enforcing the “leave the bench” rule. Most notably, Kevin Love left the bench in the 2018 Finals and wasn’t suspended. That’s mostly a relic of the Stern era, whereas cheap shots like Wemby’s on Brunson are and should still be actually enforced.
Ty Jäger@TheTyJager
If the players who left the bench during the Josh Hart spat with Luke Kornet aren't punished, the @NBA is basically admitting it doesn't want them suspended for Game 4 🤷♂️

Combined stats through 3 Finals games...
What stands out?

@DAN_S1R3S @MichaelFFlorio Unfortunately my reply guy addiction makes me not ok. 😅 it’s been a day. I should’ve never gotten back on this app.

@CharliePerc6969 @MichaelFFlorio What have I said to signify that. I said it’s not a big deal. You’ll be fine

Game 3 was not nearly as bad as Game 2, but when you compound them, it starts to feel like there’s an agenda
That’s why fans are upset this morning imo
nick wright@getnickwright
I think the officiating discussion on here this morning is a little overblown (Game 2 the officiating was egregious, last night the Knicks were fouling a ton)… with that said, I think it’s absolutely on the board that Wemby gets retroactively assessed a Flagrant 1 for the Brunson play, which would put him at 3 Flagrant Foul points, and one more would result in a suspension.
English
take note, if Wemby extends his hands to set a screen, you’re legally permitted to punch him square in the jaw @joshhart

Don't start no shit there won't be no shit.

@No149ersfan @SamQuinnCBS No the Spurs scored on the other end as a result of the play the ball goes to the Spurs
English
The one late-game call I wish had been reviewed was KAT getting whacked on the layup attempt with 2:20ish remaining. Alas, not quite in the review window.
Steve Popper@StevePopper
NBA issues last 2 minute report -- no incorrect calls. Still waiting on the first quarter review.

@DAN_S1R3S @MichaelFFlorio So this is wrestling and you’re getting your panties in a bunch over it? That’s hilarious. Imagine.

New Zach Lowe Show. I was at Game 3. It was strange and wild and we have a series. Sights, sounds, what the Spurs did right, Brunson hero ball, adjustments for G4 -- more -- w/ @djacoby and @kirkgoldsberry:

@DAN_S1R3S @MichaelFFlorio Spurs gave them game 2. And would love for you to tell me the obvious answer.
Finally, if it’s rigged why watch it? Why stress about it?
English
@CharliePerc6969 @MichaelFFlorio It’s not the spurs or the Knicks. They just prefer a longer series. They clearly tried to help the Spurs in game 2 and the Knicks overcame it. It’s just entertainment it’s not a big deal. Why let a small market team have generational players is an obvious answer.
English
@JaredWeissNBA I’m a spurs fan. Disagree. Cannot afford this type of play because he already has a F1.
English
Gotta love Shaq saying Wemby shoving Brunson wasn't a dirty play then saying you gotta bust his ass
English
It goes Hitler than this guy. He’s the worst person who ever lived.

@DannyAbriano for real, i dont get how this is hard for people to comprehend. the knicks played like shit and STILL had a chance to win the game even with the screw job by the refs. 24-8 FTA in the 2nd half is a shocking disparity. knicks were not getting any calls
English
Two things can be true
1. Knicks didn’t play up to their standards in Game 3
2. The officiating was egregious, benefiting the Spurs for the third straight time
SNY Knicks@sny_knicks
Mike Brown is not happy with the officiating after Game 3: "I never thought I'd be in the NBA Finals and see a team get 24 free throw attempts in the second half to another team's eight."
English
@DAN_S1R3S @MichaelFFlorio Why wouldn’t they let the spurs win games 1 and 2? Is everything a conspiracy? Why haven’t the Knicks won since the 70s? Why let a small market team have multiple generational players? Is the genius in that it makes zero sense?
English
@LRubinsonWFAN Because it was a procedural error by the refs.
English
6 men on the court and the ball is in bounds -- technical foul on Spurs. but not called. they just stop play and say Harper can't come in. why no technical?

What the hell just happened... There's a lot going on out there #PMSFinals
