[Murray] I don’t know if Wemby is gonna be at Madison Square Garden Tuesday. Either the Knicks win. Or that Flagrant upgrade gonna hit like a shotgun
Lmao, no way they would upgrade it and have wembanyama miss a game
Commissioner’s discretion
Don’t suspend Wemby, fine him instead
No no that’s too much, give him a warning
The first 3 flagrant foul points were supposed to be the warning. And the gift no calls he’s gotten on 3-4 other plays since then.
The New York senator special, a sternly-worded letter of slight condemnation.
Pat on the back and pinky promise to not do it again
A warning?!?
DOUG, KICK HIM OFF THE TOUR!
No that’s too much
Ten second penalty to Ocon
It’s the Adam Silver special
Silver will make sure the stars play no matter what
And Kat sitting on the bench most of the last 3 games
If I’m Mike brown I’m sending Sochan in à la John Cheney at Temple 2 decades ago
I mean Wemby called for two of his players to hard foul Chet in one of their losses last game.
What does Prince Harry think?
Bro you think they’re going to fine him? They didn’t even consider fining him after intentionally elbowing a dude 3
Flagrant twos are automatic fine lol
Fines mean very little
Yeah no shit
Its very obvious the nba is rigged like how the nba reviewed rozier and found no foul play only for the fbi to find things and the usa president wanted to summon silver to testify at congress
Silver ain’t gonna let his future face of the league miss a finals game
Especially since it’s a closeout game for the Knicks
Mike Brown needs to put public pressure on it.
Absolutely point out the hypocrisy of this loudly postgame.
He needs to state it like a fact. “Obviously the NBA is going to review…. He’ll be suspended…. But they’ll still bea dangerous team without Wemby so we’ll have to….”
The NBA has upgraded the foul to a Flagrant 3. We have no prescribed penalty for this, so he’s free to play.
League is more likely to fine him than suspend Wemby.
They extended it to game 6 and it’s at MSG. There’s a chance.
If they don’t upgrade his foul on Brunson, they’re not upgrading this
Now that there is no game, they will Upgrade it.
[removed]
LeBron ain’t on the other side of the team
Draymond isn’t Wemby….
And Wemby didn’t punch Brunson in the balls lmao
Curry in game six is a better example but they were trying to extend that series. Suspending Wemby ends this one
They also refused to call second techs on Draymond no matter how egregious he got, basically going easy on him for being a repeat offender. No way Wemby gets suspended for something that, despite being an obvious flagrant foul, was pretty innocuous.
He already got a pass shoving Brunson’s head, and now he’s getting another one? Nah that would be some bs.
Theyrr gonna upgraade it after the knicks win tonight lmao to show fake accountability
They better suspend him for game 1 of the 1st round next year.
Some random 7 seed is going to have a treat.
There is absolute zero chance the league lets Wemby get suspended
Literally 0% chance they give him a flagrant for this. He could bring a knife to the game and they’d still let him play
He could also bring a gun in the lockeroom too
Gilbert Arenas also hates Jalen Brunson
James Harden is that you?
No but Javaris Crittenton would like a word with you privately in the locker room
Breen: “Wemby guarding Brunson…what’s this? Wemby pulls out a knife! Wemby stabs Brunson! Brunson crumbles to the floor and is bleeding out! And it’s a turnover on Brunson!” 😆
Bang!!
Stab!
W*mby could shoot someone on 5th Ave and Adam Silver would do nothing.
Considering how Knicks fans have been acting I wouldn’t be shocked.
“Fast break for Knicks!! Wemby running back and pulls out a gun!! BANG!!!”
Keep dreaming.
Naz Reid got killed by Wemby. They ain’t gonna do shit lol
And he was tossed in the 1st quarter
Naz Reid died?!
He got better
Yup, head fell off
Had a funeral for a bird, whole big thing
I didn’t know he was sick
It’s not happening
If it was the Spurs who were up 3-1, he would definitely be retroactively suspended. Ask me how I know.
I still hang onto that one. Turned the series
Now players know not to kick multiple opposing players in the balls if you dont wanna get suspended. Thank you Draymond.
Hey, it got you Kevin Durant though.
Honestly, I’m not complaining. But this situation still had me doing the “Leo DiCaprio on the couch” meme.
Let’s not forget Draymond kicked Steven Adams in the nuts in two consecutive games in the 2016 Western Conference finals and didn’t get suspended for it. Thunder were up 3-1 and the NBA decided not to suspend him for game 5. Draymond’s suspension in the finals was long overdue
Spurs fans lobbying the Zaza rule just to have it bite them in the ass years later would be pretty poetic
Considering they celebrated Bruce Bowen would be hilarious
Adam Silver will personally have anyone who even inclines that Wemby would miss a single Finals’ game held over a tank filled with sharks and piranhas.
If you incline wemby at a 30 degree angle he is still taller than me
r/theydidthemath ?
Lmao
Literally 0% chance they upgrade that blatant flagrant to a flagrant
I wouldn’t say 0. If they don’t it would literally be the most blatant ignoring of the rules that the NBA has ever done, period.
That ain’t getting upgraded.
I can’t see the game what happened
Wemby jumped to Brunson’s landing space, That’s a textbook flagrant
Was it called a foul to begin with?
nah. no call
So a F1 at best.
Yes, but that would mean suspension for Wemby
Oh, thanks so it’s definitely won’t happen lol
Not even a call. Four on five down the floor and the Spurs hit a three
Nope lol
Nope
Lol
So how can it be upgraded to a flagrant? The league normally doesn’t see someone doing something and decide to assess a flagrant foul against them if nothing was called in the first place.
They can review plays after the game retroactively assess the penalty. They did it to Lamello for example and even gave him a flagrant 2.
nope!
They’re gonna do it that one was too obvious
Not a chance for golden boy
They should but if it does then no one’s watching Game 6 if Wemby gets suspended aside from Knicks fans.
They’re more likely to give brunson the flagrant for putting wemby’s foot at risk by landing on it.
This made me laugh
lol should be top comment
[deleted]
It’s less about Wemby and more about the series. If Spurs were up 3-1 he’d do it in a heartbeat
Yeah idk why people don’t understand simple things
Bingo
League finally got a finals series that draws significant viewers, they’re not suspending Wemby
Sports leagues are entertainment leagues first and always foremost..
Knicks fans are going to throw more than eggs at him at this point.
Come on bro. Wemby can give a guy a tombstone piledriver on the court and he isnt getting suspended for a flagrant again
League doesn’t have the balls to upgrade it
Rigged leauge if they don’t update the foul
He ain’t gonna be there because we won the game
They will upgrade it now that they lost and he misses first game next season.
They won’t suspend him for the finals
Wemby certainly will not be in MSG on Tuesday
Genuine question, can they upgrade a no-call? I know they can change one where they blew the whistle (either upgrading or downgrading) but can they retroactively give a flagrant?
Yes. But I have never seen them upgrade a landing zone foul.
I haven’t either— I do think they’re gonna have to come out with a statement about it because it’s so egregious
He got hit by an egg leaving NYC; he might need secret service level security if he heads back there after that no call
People should be chill of course but the NBA is absolutely creating a very hostile environment
Why do people in this thread want to ruin a series by suspending a player for a controversial decision? Just enjoy the games jesus. So many crybabies in this thread.
They won and they still crying. Someone wants him suspended for the first game of next season lol
Just announce the suspension anyway for vindication
Turns out he won’t be there
Absolutely no chance they upgrade it.
It’s wishful thinking that Wemby is gonna get a flagrant upgrade lmao.
DOESNT MATTER LOST AT HOME SENT PACKING CRY FLAGRANT WEMBY
Knicks fans wanna ignore the people’s elbow that went uncalled shortly after too. I swear this Reddit flip flops between wanting physical basketball or Charmin ultra soft every hour.
Can someone show me in the rulebook where it says you can split your feet and have your left leg plant a foot forward after your shot attempt? I’m an eastern conference fan and even I think that very clearly wasn’t intentional on Wemby’s part. Nor did Brunson land in his normal landing zone lol. Unless “landing zone” counts as an entire square yard around the shot attempt.
seriously i feel crazy looking at these comments. definitely not a flagrant if you know anything about ball lol
As a casual viewer, genuine q, what was different about this vs the flagrant called on JB earlier this series? Champagnie also stuck his feet pretty far from the shot attempt no?
Lmao, Silver would rather give up his position than hurt glorious wemby’s feelings
They won’t suspend him. Wemby is their lil darling.
LOL @ all the commentators that think the NBA would dare gift Wemby a flagrant.
The dude can come out with a shotgun and it won’t be called.
How many deferred flagrants equal one actual flagrant?
Dude I think Wemby could repeat the Naz Reid chin shot and be okay at this point.
He’s not Draymond, no way they suspend him.
Scott Foster tried to ruin it for everyone but the knicks overcame.
Well now they can upgrade the flagrant and suspend him for the first game of the season LOL
FUCK WEMBY
I guess we’ll never know
Now I wonder
They’re probably not going to review it lmao
why did brunson not simply alter the laws of physics to stop himself from falling on wemby?
This should be upgraded, but it won’t. People were calling Shai egregious btw.
Except the NBA is run by absolute pussies.
On one hand, they stand no chance with Wemby out, so they wont do it. On the other hand, it would be quite the story if the Spurs were to force a game 7 by winning game 6 without Wemby. Either way though they still need to actually finish this game first if they can
Lol, not in Adam Silvers nba.
Rules dont exist
It’ll be called a common foul… on Brunson 🙄
Brunson splits his legs
Get real. They not overturn that shiet. lol.
Zero chance the league makes the right call and upgrades it after the fact. They didn’t upgrade the last one which looked worse, no way they suspend the Fr * * ch for game 6.
Sadly if they didn’t upgrade the foul when he pushed Brunson they won’t do it now.
Can they change it our upgrade it since nothing was called at all?
All the Spurs fans who cried about OKC playing dirty are suddenly all quiet
Silver is working overtime to find loop holes to keep Wemby from getting suspended. Rule changes incoming
If they didn’t give him a flagrant for that shot to the head, they won’t here. It just won’t happen.
They won’t upgrade that. Has the NBA even upgraded any missed landing space flagrant foul in the reg season?
Can they upgrade a non-call? You’d be retroactively awarding fouls across the entire game if that was the case.
You mean the common foul that doesn’t get reviewed, yea…
They have to suspend him, anything short of that and this whole series becomes an absolute joke. They would have gotten 6 games out of it, no need to further plummet the league’s reputation to have Wemby around.
Rather him play game 6 if it gets there. But maybe stop dinging Kat with the softest fouls in this bloodbath.
They ain’t upgrading
They’ll find a way to suspend him for the upcoming preseason.
Yeah he aint gonna be there LMAO
The only excuse that I could see is that Wemby is tall and awkward which explains his landing but it should still be a flagrant even if it was done on accident
It’s disgusting how poorly these games have been officiated
I’ll marry Milly Alcock before they suspend the golden boy
I don’t see it happening and that’s the sad part
There is more chance of Mitch Robinson hitting five 3 pointers than there is of the NBA giving him that flagrant.
Look at the viewing figures ffs.
He didn’t get suspended when he elbowed Naz in the throat so it won’t happen here.
This is both a nightmare scenario for Silver, but also great for business.
wemby could detonate 1 trillion nukes and destroy the planet and they would still let him play game 6
Not with these refs.
Golden boy plays. He could kill somebody on the court and they’d have him out of the trial and ready to suit up by game 6 tip off.
If you’re expecting them to upgrade that…you’re just setting yourself up for disappointment lol
Wemby gonna have to punch someone in the face to get a suspension.
This is what sports is about… not happy with everything in every game that is played. Gotta love it lol 😂
The Spurs have gotten that shooting space foul every single time. It’s always a flagrant even when it’s minimal. Wemby went full Bowen/Zaza on that one and the refs pretended to be blind. The NBA is truly a joke if they don’t upgrade that.
Wishcasting
Something something I bet they say they can’t upgrade a non foul call
It’s kinda sad that we all know there’s so much corruption in the NBA.
It’s very possible they upgrade it. I know the “money says extend” but if he’s not playing everyone viewer is treating it like game 7.
I will bet you $100 that doesnt happen
That would suck for the casual fan so it won’t happen
It’s obvious enough that they’ll suspend him for G6 if the series gets there. Bonus revenue and all the hooplah from the Knicks closing out the series in New York.
I don’t think it will happen but it would be funny to watch everything try to speak it into existence
Lmao do you really think that’s gonna happen to Wemby???
It’s been all series the refs have handed the spurs these calls but that one seals it. Inexcusable. It wasn’t reckless. It was intentional. He’s looking right at his foot to make sure.
Yeah idk IF the Spurs happen to win this one, Wemby really may not be there. He just keeps doing these dumbass fouls and got lucky that last one didn’t get called. I don’t think he’d get that lucky this time IF they go on
Can they even upgrade something that wasn’t called a foul to begin with?
They won’t suspend him and the media will frame game 6 as a Wemby “revenge” game.
They better upgrade security man
The hit to his teeth didn’t count either. Hard enough to bleed. You guys need to calm down. Either you want a more physical NBA or you want a bunch of OKC like teams becoming the league. Missed calls happen, on both sides. Don’t complain just because your team is suddenly losing. The Knicks have turned it over so much tonight. The spurs played absolutely awful last game. It happens
Knicks fans are cowards
You think the NBA’s going to do the right thing here? You must be new.
Just checking in on Mr. “Ethical Basketball” here.
There ain’t no way lol
Obviously it should be but do you all really want that? Feels like a lot are pining for it. I get integrity and all that but the nbas been lacking that for a while and personally, I want to watch game 6 with Wemby. I dont want this decided on a suspension for that. It’s entertainment at the end of the day
