  1. Good

    Probably will make things worse in the ref side of the game but I’d be more disappointed in them taking this shit lying down

  2. Patient-Ring1620

    Good this league blows. No one has any idea what a foul is anymore. The way the game was called, both ways, did not make sense

    The league after seeing our grievance.

    Good. Won’t change anything but literally nothing to lose.

    There have been no over the back calls. That’s the only reason this isn’t a blowout they have dudes jumping over the back all game long and the refs don’t call one foul.

    But I don’t even give a shit about that because presumably we could get those too, what I care about is they straight up ignoring our coach calling a timeout. That’s literally cheating.

  6. refs are just gonna get pissy and fuck with us at home now. This is counterproductive

    Theyā€™ll get clowned for this, but the reffing in the NBA is a fucking joke and should be questioned. Zero clue what a foul is, and even within a game itā€™s not called the same. Nothing will happen, obviously, but doesnā€™t mean it shouldnā€™t be called out.

    Silver gonna read it and laugh before wiping his ass with it and telling the refs to keep up the great work

  9. percy2376

    Cant convince me that the league hasn’t been a worse product since Adam silver took over

  10. ChipKellysShoeStore

    Hand checking is legal now but only for the knicks and heat

  11. ranchsauce13

    Silver will probably throw Angel Hernandez at us next

  12. Anyone remember the huge discrepancy last year vs the Celtics?

  13. This Knicks team has been getting away with way too much

    Apart from my feelings about this particular game. The league is so weak and canā€™t enforce anything on their refs. A couple of years ago they tried to get rid of lean in fouls that players do and guess what players still do it and refs still call it.

    An even better example is the flop callā€¦ whatā€™s the point of this, there are blatant flops every game and the refs never call it, I think I saw them call it once or twice in the beginning of the year and then were just like fuck that shit and never called it again.

    No one seems to know the rules, did anyone catch the Thunder coaches interview the other day? Different refs seem to have different interpretations of the rules, itā€™s really bad right now

  14. SlapChopMyShamWow

    Adam Silver about to find a way to take away draft picks for this

  15. ApoliticalAth3ist

    All nba fans need to listen to the whistleblowers podcast. This shit is the wwe version of basketball

  16. Literally nothing will happen unfortunately. How do you even rectify a situation like this now that itā€™s over

  17. NBA is getting less watchable each year. First change needed is no foul baiting. If an offensive player jumps/veers into a defender or alters their natural shooting motion there should not be a foul. Itā€™s horrible to watch, I want to watch basketball not a free throw shooting contest. Let defensive players play defense and weā€™ll get way more awesome sequences and plays with guys making tough shots. The rules are broken for the modern game, yes the refs suck but literally every possession could be called a foul with how big, fast and physical players are now. Give them some leeway and the inconsistency of reffing should drop

  18. TacticalKitty99

    Itā€™s crazy when I listen to the broadcast and the commentators are trying to discern what a foul is.

  19. Friendly-Profit-8590

    A grievance for what? Not administering the Heinrich maneuver? Please.

  20. very very sad…. NBA just seems sooooo…. suspicious

    too many things happening that benefit teams in NY and LA
