Yeah unless Wemby gets into it with a fan or like another elbow to the neck level incident, don’t think the league will do anything to him

The NBA’s going to stretch this at least to a Game 6 to milk that MSG ticket prices.

He could probably punch a ref at this point.

Well it’s true either way. Zero punishment is indeed no additional punishment over zero punishment. 

Gives him free reign to do this every game the rest of the series. If they aren’t going to call it a foul then why not keep doing it?

Bro can keep Adam Silver from scoring

New gameplan is Wemby just holds brunson down by his neck anytime the knicks have the ball.

Respect coming from your flair 🤣

I mean they did t upgrade Hartensteins hair pull, was unlikely this would get upgraded

To the surprise of no one lmfao.

Call me a hater all you want but there is a dark arts to his game & him doing shit like the innocent act against Minnesota after the flagrant 2 & ejection told me all i needed to know about him.

Wonder why

its weird tho cuz yea hes fucking awesome but he seems prone to losing it on the court, a few time already, the elbow in the twolves series, then the other day kind of ragdolling alvarado then throwing brunson. Like put all this work into the guy and one day hes gonna punch someone on tv

This game will be in the eventual gambling loss class action for sure

The part that’s crazy is Wemby did the same thing to Josh Hart in the exact same game.

Either Brunson’s flagrant gets rescinded or Wemby gets one. There can’t be the in between where they do nothing.

What the actual fuck NBA.

Especially considering wemby did the exact same thing later in the game and didn’t get a flagrant or a common foul

Time to grab Wemby by the head and shove him downward

Shoving someone by the neck seems pretty violent and unnecessary.

They only even addressed this bc it got media coverage. Would’ve swept the whole fucking thing under the rug if RJ and Legs didn’t call it out during the game.

Selective whistle

The funniest part is that in this exact play, KAT is also getting mauled. Just literally take a snapshot of the court and it’s like 3 spurs fouling at once.

I would have thought the Knicks would have gotten more of a favorable whistle with the big market trope, but damn. Adam desperate for a new face that bad I guess.

This + the Brunson choke hold + a similar play in G1 on Alvarado. He arguably could have been suspended for game 4, and none of these even got a whistle.

Yeah should have had 2 in same damn game lmao.

Spurs fans will disingenously argue that Knicks fans are being soft when the real issue is just how inconsistent the whistle is for each team. Bring back aggressive and physical basketball, but allow both teams to do it

What are the odds Scott Foster or Tony Brothers ref either game 6 or 7 this series if it goes that far?

I don’t think it’s too soon. 

Already there

it was made easy 2 series ago but instead everyone justified it and the media drooled over Wemby’s ‘revenge game’

knicks should just shove wemby back. It ain’t even dirty it’s called physicality. As long as no one aims for the legs I don’t see the problem. It’s the playoffs

Every good story needs a bad heel.

We thought Wemby was the next Lebron, turns out he’s the next Embiid.

He’s making it real easy himself.

Apparently standing 2 feet inside the 3pt line when a jump shooter who was 4 feet outside the 3pt line lands on you 🤣

If you’re Wemby you can go out there and larp as a ufc fighter and be totally fine. Been working for him all playoffs.

It damn well better cause our team looked like lazy asses on Monday night with their sloppy play. This is as must win as it gets.

To be honest if the league ain’t gonna discipline him for being dirty then eventually a player is going to get pissed off enough to take matters into their own hands.

From the people that brought you, “The People’s Elbow”

“The People’s Neck Throw”

They wouldn’t of upgraded it for any superstar. The NBA is not in the business of suspending superstars.

Thoughts and prayers.

It’s a pretty unique move I’m not sure just anyone can pull off at will. You have to be like 15 inches taller than the person you’re trying to make kiss the floor. 

My issue is, it wouldn’t even suspend him. All it would do would make sure an additional flagrant 1 would be a suspension. You’re basically saying we think there’s a high chance he picks up an additional flagrant so we can’t give him this one.

Then he booted LeBron….. that’s a different level than booting Adams

Both situations have precedent too that should’ve guaranteed at least a fine/maybe a suspension (I believe everyone else that’s committed a similar act had been), and a flagrant for this one.

Kind of wild how little the NBA cares about being taken seriously. Clearly swinging games, employing proven crooked refs, and being very favorable to certain teams/players.

nearly all fouls are intentional, that isn’t the thing that matters

They actually punished Draymond though.

Draymond actually got suspended for less, granted it was on LBJ.

If Mitch did it to Wemby hes out for the series

One can understand why Kobe or MJ would be treated differently. Wemby has earned nothing. Being 7-5 is not a skill.

It’s like they didn’t learn with sga. Sga use to not fall on his shots once they started rewarding him he made it a habit. They are conditioning Wemby to be this player and fans are gonna turn on him like they did sga 

Skinny Embiid has been anointed

I’m sure there wouldn’t have been a flagrant too if Mitch Robinson had done the same shove to Castle’s neck.

You mean rational reactions to a farcical sport with uneven and inconsistent standards where the product is not ball in hoop but money in casino?

Always been. Ask the Suns.

Lebron. That is it

I mean that’s still very controversial to this day though right lol. Like a large portion of the NBA fanbase thinks that was a stupid decision. And I promise you, ask someone if they’d rather be kicked in the nuts or shoved in the back of the neck ¹⁰⁄₁₀ people would choose the shove.

It literally says it was an uncalled foul.

He pushed him through the back of his neck man come on
