NBA 2025-2026 Season : The One Where We Learn About Cap Cirmcumvention Rules

[Serra]

Punching Brunson in the back of the head would be a flagrant 2. If it goes to review he’s out the game and misses another

Oh, not arguing about that one -- wild that one wasn't called a flagrant 2. I was just pointing out he could get called for a flagrant 1 and still be in it.

[Deejay]

Obvious shit reffing aside, the key to our defense is that we don't allow easy buckets. Towns is doing his job on Wemby, but we can't let their guards get him easy looks off the roll. They generated a ton of easy put ins for bitchass Wemby in the pick and roll. Even when we packed the lane. No way we can win if we allow it without shooting like 90% from 3

[Dimmauk]

KAT and Bridges plus the bench all playing like shit or the Spurs playing tough defense are the real reasons y'all lost. Blaming the refs is soft and the rigged takes are Trump levels of loser. Be better or not. So many different videos of Spurs fans getting attacked and clothes ripped off is reasons enough to wish the curse further strength. Spike Lee better stay home for game 5.

[Deejay]

if thats your take then you are literally clueless. bridges was in foul trouble 1 minute into the game. KAT hasn't scored a single point in the 4th all series and we still won the first 2. the bench didnt shoot well from 3 either, which is the literal point i was making.

i called out the refs when we won as well becaue they've legitimately been bad. cry about it idc

[6souls]

It was the poor shooting that killed them. If they hit their threes alone, this would have swayed in the Knicks favor.

[Dimmauk]

I agree, the Refs definitely need to call more fouls on the Knicks. If they called it correctly, the Spurs would have 20+ more FTA. Maybe the Refs aren't falling for the foul baiting flopping and verbal flopping?

[Deejay]

or maybe they could correctly call a tech on the spurs for having 6 men on the floor during an inbound instead of stopping play and taking 1 second off the knicks shot clock :^)

True, true, but while they are at it, maybe call 6 men on the court when Spike Lee is out there on the court calling fouls and yelling at refs?

This is why y'all don't deserve a championship

there's been a few of these

giant fucking losers of a fanbase, San Antonio fans didn't do this after losing at home

you cant complain about spike he's apart of the team at this point

knicks fans jumping opps is kind of a yearly ritual at this point but i agree its a bad look, especially knowing that no one really messes with us when we travel

[Dimmauk]

Btw, nobody talking about Clarkson, Alvarado and OG coming off the bench and on to the Court during Hart's flop and technical. All three should have been ejected

[Xno Kappa]

I’m almost positive a timeout was called before that. No need to make stuff up to be angry about.

[6souls]

Ejected for flopping? Wemby and Castle would have been ejected already for that. It was pretty gross to see the Knicks flopping, but the Spurs have become straight up thugs.

[Deejay]

I'm not mad at Castle, he is a dog. He's just mega physical on defense and knows when to turn it on and off within the flow of the game

Wemby is as baby back bitch for all the shit he gets away with tho

[Deejay]

Castle had a good one where hit Brunson square in the chest at halfcourt, Brunson smartly flails his arms to get the ref attention, then resets and goes full speed into Castle who smartly lets up and draws the offensive foul

Shit like that is just mega smart and hard to teach

Both teams shot 35% from 3

Knicks gave up something like 21 points on turnovers. A bunch of them were completely unforced errors too.

[Deejay]

idk, i just rewatched a lot of it and brunson just needs to stop playing hero ball. that style plays directly into the spurs hands as it alows wemby to protect the rim while everyone just switches fresh legs onto brunson

Oh ok, I didn't know that players could run onto the court during an altercation as long as it is during a Timeout. My bad. Looked like some of the Knicks players that were not in the game, were in Luke's face during the altercation.

lowk every game so far has been decided by the turnover/possession battle. very evenly matched teams net possessions have been key (and Knicks generally lil better offensive rebounding team), Spurs needa limit the dumb turnovers like they did last night. had some issues with ball security against OKC as well.
