[Highlight] Wemby goes to the floor after contact with Jose Alvarado
Knicks more worried about being physical with Wemby they forgetting to score the ball
100%
Knicks are being very silly with focusing on fouls while getting badly outshot
They need to get their head in the game
I wish there was a good song, a Disney song, that they could play to pump up the Knicks and remind them to get there, get there head in the game
They need Troy Bolton!
Boy it’s been a while. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Disney is a little too woke for a James Dolan-owned team, don’t you think?
Are there any Kid Rock or Nicki Minaj songs that would work?
They thinking about the J outside. Not the outside J.
They needed this pep talk ty
Said this in another thread , way too focused on trying to send receipts instead of scoring points
Reminds me of the Spurs throwing away game 3 in the OKC series because they wanted to send a message after game 2.
Incredibly dumb, because they (understandably) kicked up such a fuss over poor refereeing to encourage the refs to watch for fouls, then just fouled a bunch themselves.
And then crying when the call is made
Honestly this game is already over. Dont hate the idea of getting your money’s worth tonight and figuring the rest out in game 5.
There’s still time to delete this.
Honestly im taking some credit for this Knicks win. Absolutely legendary jinx on the spurs. 💀💀💀
Bro say this again next game please
I feel like that would be taunting god himself. Might need to refrain unless it truly feels like the magic is in the air again. My tired ass really slept through what would have been one of the greatest hate watches of the ages. But alas wouldnt change a thing. Hilarious choke
This is my favorite interaction of the night
Somebody had to step up and be the dumbass that jinxed the spurs. And then also afterwards fall asleep and miss the hatewatch of a lifetime. 💀☠️
I feel like there is a lot more game. Take away the string of calls for the spurs and the string of 3’s they’ve been making, they are going to have to establish more ways to score than they have so far in the second half. They probably will but if they don’t, it could get rough.
Well done, damn
This post didn’t age well
I agree with you. But I believe Wemby’s height, balance, footwork and center of gravity…makes it more difficult to be “physical” to him!
Man, after WCF I thought the Finals would be a better watch, but damn… is infuriating trying to watch this.
This aged really well
Bro was about to put him in the sharpshooter
The best there is ….
The best there ever was …
The best there ever will be
Unless you’re that piece of shit Bill Goldberg
The Excellence of Execution.
Lmao
Bret “Jose Hitman Alvarado” Hart
by GAWD, that’s Steve Austin’s music!
About 300 fouls in that sequence
The Jokic method, start flopping after being abused for so long
I mean can’t blame him when refs won’t call anything
lol what? The refs aren’t calling anything? What are you watching?
He’s talking about Jokic who notoriously never gets a whistle and receives the fewest free throws out of any top scorer
My exact thought. Why shouldn’t he flop? Jesus Christ! What’s it going to take to get a call?
Yeah can’t really blame Wemby for the flop. Refs weren’t gonna do shit anyway
Flop?!
Jon Jones esque in his single leg, Joe
Is it a flop after all that? I mean, come on.
Yeah I’m not seeing a flop. That was a nasty hit as the Knicks player was getting back up.
Getting one-leg tackled and calling it ‘flopping’ is ridiculous to me.
Didn’t even get a flagrant 1
Upon review I deemed this a perfectly legal play.
Knicks just said fuck it, let’s keep cheap shotting this guy
Actively playing a dumber game now, I get they got screwed to start and that messed with em but this is unforgivably stupid.
The refs aren’t the ones draining wide open threes
Knicks are 1 shit wemby pass from being down 3-1
Lmao hold it
Looks like the Knicks are 1 shit wemby pass and 2 missed wemby FTs from being down 3-1
Coulda woulda shoulda. Knicks in 5
And then people act like he’s an asshole for snapping
He is an asshole tho, and he will have all the chance to snap in game 5. The Knicks will make sure he knows that he is 1 flagrant away from an auto suspension.
Wemby is definitely the first player in nba playoff history to have teams play him as physically as possible every game. Can’t believe it took this long for a NBA team to figure this gameplan out against their opponents star player.
Judo League
With some of the stuff Wemby has done I’m not going to fault them for it tbh.
Brunson pulled a Wemby and told his goons to take Wemby out
Good tackling form
Wemby needs to work on his take down defense with the monks next off season
He’s no Jose Aldo out there. It was just a simple high crotch and Wemby went right down. Didn’t even try to avoid it.
Yeah. But if you hear the Knicks fans tell it, the fix is in! If the fix is in they’d call that the flagrant that it was.
Looked like a rugby tackle when a back tackles a forward
Refs made them do this
The free safety of the Knicks defense
Not gonna lie, it kinda looks like he was legit trying to injure him there. Tried to clamp his leg and then fall onto it.
He tried that twice.
Right this doesn’t look as dramatic as going for the head/neck but it’s such a bitch move with high injury risk and not even close to a normal basketball move.
That’s what Naz Reid did last series, then he took an elbow for it
Send me the clip
https://youtu.be/f0ygw1i_TcM?is=cRgf9Lfaq2LvrESl
In the first 3 seconds on the box out
lol
Best I can do is Dylan Harper going :o
I count 3 fouls before the elbow of justice comes out
[deleted]
It’s literally in the highlight before he throws the elbow?… You have eyes?
Post the highlight.
He was definitely holding his leg and I won’t defend that. But that’s a lot different than actively trying ro fall on it which naz clearly wastn doing. Both would but very different issues when your trying to hold a guy in place or fall on and injure him.
Fair, I don’t think he was actively trying to fall on him either. I didn’t read the second half of the comment before I eagerly responded.
Makes sense!
Alvarado already taken the hook around the neck
Kinda like Brunson “falling” into his knee last game too.
Legit looks like a WWE low blow, I’m gonna get downvoted but who gives a fuck, it’s fake internet points. Some Draymond Green shit.
He clearly tripped on KAT’s foot when he went down, but he also blatantly tried to trip him like 2 seconds earlier lol. Goofball shit
Also lmao
Looked like he was trying to shoulder check his nuts
yeah but for real ngl, he has his back to KAT the entire time, KAT comes up, then alvarado trips on his shoe. I don’t think the falling was intentional.
Wtf is Alvarado doing here lol
Trying to injure Wemby
He doesn’t really follow through with it. Looks like he gets frustrated and just grabs him then let’s go before following through with the full WWE move.
It’s more about the whole “defensive” sequence. He was fouling Wemby for 15 seconds and falling into him.
Yeah there’s a lot of contact, but they dont call flagrants for cumulative contact over a play unless there is something egregious there.
Like a single leg takedown?
Just normal basketball tackling form.
Might even make the practice squad for the Giants
Practicing Shooting a single leg takedown
The Caruso special, just absolutely maul a guy bigger than you
whole team trying to injure Wemby
Don’t dish it if u can’t take it
His best
Payback.
Lmao Knicks unraveling and getting shot out of the gym but this sub keeps bitching about refs.
not just their fans. this whole sub
It’s the Knicks Minny and OKC fans crying together. Funny part is the spurs took so many elbows from the timberwolves that went uncalled but it’s calm you know. It’s also funny the spurs played much less physical against Portland and even Minnesota in the first few games but after minny playing football all game they decided to match the physicality and Minnesota folded. Same thing with OKC matched their physicality and they folded too.
I don’t remember us being triggered at Portland or them against us but as soon as then Minnesota series started they started playing nfl teams instead of NBA teams.
they’ve been super aggressive with Wemby ALL SERIES. but this sub has this made up narrative that they’re only letting the spurs get away with stuff
I wasn’t even mad at Wemby for elbowing Naz (mad the league didn’t fine him) but the wolves were strategically, intentionally beating the shit out of Wemby and he made a frustration mistake (probably meant to hit McDaniels who’s really annoying but hit Naz instead). Every team they’ve played has made their strategy to push, pull, grab, clamp, yank, check, and body Wemby on every single play.
It’s hilarious if you stop ball-watching and just focus on Wemby when he’s off-ball and see just how many times every single offensive possession he’s getting fouled and not getting calls. The frustration is very understandable but he can’t be throwing ‘bows or shoving guards like he did Brunson last game
People were whining about the Knicks getting called for fouls acting like the spurs were being favored. They weren’t. This game is what happens when you call the game tighter. The Knicks were fouling that much more and now it’s just more apparent when they can’t foul wemby non stop otherwise they’d all foul out. The spurs weren’t getting a favorable whistle they were letting everything slide for each team which benefited the Knicks because it’s the only way to slow down wemby from dominating the Knicks.
Refs shooting open threes at an insane clip tonight
Yeah, Spurs currently have 9 threes made, the Refs aren’t the ones shooting those jumpers haha
Why is KAT not fucking switching lmao, get on Wemby why are you letting your 5’2’ guy fight for position for 90 minutes lmao
Alvarado legit fouled Wemby for 15 seconds straight and legit tried to injure him
I love how he legit looks 5’2” on the floor and he’s still taller than average 😭
Afraid of getting a 3rd foul.
They will call a foul on Kat
He should try not fouling and being a dumbass
This is not the first series he’s been in foul trouble in his life
You people are stupid and acting like KAT doesn’t always foul
KAT is the most foul prone person. Dude is perpetually picking up dumb fouls
Seriously, and he’s not as subtle as he thinks. The easiest example is the arm hooking. Everyone on the court is hooking arms under the rim but you could spot KAT doing it from space.
Crazy. A guy that has terrible fouling issues getting in foul trouble
Thats why he didn’t switch. Alvarado being on the floor isn’t crucial to his teams success. KAT and Wemby are.
Because if the refs like the 6’0 guy guard Wemby like this it’s an advantage.
Feel like this should absolutely be a flagrant no? Clearly picks up Wembys leg to take him out. Zero basketball play there
The only reason this wasn’t called a flagrant is because the last one was and the fans bitched.
Was 100% the make up for Wemby folding Brunson. If Wemby was injured from the contact it would have been a flagrant 12
The NBA would never call a flagrant on their golden boy.
[removed]
I don’t think we’ve seen a dirtier team trying to hurt someone like the Knicks tonight
Okay, so like I didn’t like the foul call on KAT early, but this is just ridiculous. Knicks absolutely lost all composure.
Can’t believe the refs are the cause of a 22pt deficit
Lol
How is this not flagrant 😭
Cause Wemby has been choke slamming people left and right out there. Refs prolly figured they should let this one go
League’s mea culpa over the non flagrant call on wemby. Spurs fans better realize this if they bitch about this non flagrant for Alvarado and admit it and honestly seen most say yeah it’s even
Alvarado acting like an average Knicks fan on the street out there
Dumbass single legged him and then though stepping over him was something
Dude was bout to step over till he realized itd take him 5 full strides to get halfway there
That’s a flagrant, maybe Knicks fans can stop crying now
Kurt Angle impression from Jose.
Equally impressive WWE style sell from Wemby as well.
the knicks got rage baited and now trying to injure lmao
And people wonder why Wemby gets fed up and shows physicality back
No you see he just started acting like a bad boy Piston outta no where
Good form on that single leg takedown attempt
insane that this isn’t a flagrant
Alvarado went for the single leg
This was a flagrant but the refs don’t want another burough burning if the Knicks lose this game by 30.
Alvarado:
Lmaooo
Solid form on the single leg take down haha. What are the Knicks doing?!
Wonder if people are gonna keep saying the spurs are dirty after wemby has been elbowed, low blowed, and had a single leg takedown attempted on him in the first half lol
Yeah bro let’s just beat the shit out of the guy instead of playing basketball. It’s definitely working.
Then Knicks fans are going to go apeshit saying that the refs are dirty and the NBA wants Wemby to win. Teams have been hacking and abusing wemby all post season
Although it wasn’t anything crazy, I feel like this is the definition of an unnecessary play, not sure how this wasn’t a flagrant 1.
They are trying to hurt him.
I dont wanna hear a word about the spurs being dirty again from knicks fans.
No way Knicks win another game this series if they don’t start focusing on basketball instead of whatever the fuck this shit is tonight
Can’t hate a flop when he was fouled 100 times before it with no call
Mfer playing dagestani ball
HOW IS THIS NOT A FLAGRANT LMAO
Single leg takedowns are very necessary for basketball
zero knicks flares in this thread tho
Alvarado should’ve got a flagrant 1, common foul is a bullshit call
12 fouls in 6 seconds
wemby is getting fouled literally every play by the knicks. The refs arent calling 90% of them
Alvarado just got away with every defensive violation in the rulebook LMAO and a flagrant to boot at the end.
And they’re still down 25 😂 fuck the knicks and their fans
As spurs reporter Ashley Nicole Moss once said, “you know what? hell yeah!”
BIG BORICUA
This is Wemby’s future if he can’t control his temper and cheap shots
Tried to shoot a single leg
Thats just embarrassing. Knicks should be embarrassed.
Knicks are tilted as hell
Apparently the refs consider this a basketball play, Knick fans better not same another damn word bout the refs.
This series fucking sucks man lol
I hate flopping. But when the opposing team is trying to lift you up by your leg, and they just fail, i’m not mad if you gonna flop to get the call, this is crazy.
Should’ve went for the double leg takedown instead oh wait we’re watching basketball
He’s in there head
this doesn’t fit the sub’s current narrative lol
What the hell is this 😭😭
Knicks playing like their fans tonight!
Didn’t lock his hands on the single leg take down.
Man no one’s playing basketball anymore
Wemby gets boxed out by dude 2 ft shorter than him
Did he shoulder him in the nuts?!
That’s a good move against someone if Wemby was more in the range of Alvarado’s height and they were on a football field
I still don’t understand how him grabbing and hoisting his leg while trying to knock him over isn’t a flagrant. None of that is a basketball play.
He legit looks half of wemby’s height
Good get back tbh, Wemby is dirty as fuck. Literally flung this guy by his neck a few games ago
What’s more flagrant as a foul than this?
Somehow not a flagrant
Textbook single leg and Wemby takes the bump like a pro!
wtf you doing lmao
The knicks players have genuinely lost it lol wtf.
Did he try to lift Wemby lol
Tries tripping him, tries to fall on his knee, and holds his leg up with both hands. Dirty as fuck. And you guys blame wemby for reacting the way he does. Fuck that the only way teams can stop him is by doing dirty ass shit and you know it.
Lmfao this refs lost this game. When you let a team get away with shit, you eventually start getting this clown show.
Quit grabbing his leg!! Go back to the lollipop guild
Fouled him at least 4 times in that possession alone. 😂
Alvarado looking like a bitch here.
