‘BRUTAL CALL!’ 😳 – Windy on the controversial foul call on Jalen Brunson in Knicks’ loss | NBA Today

‘BRUTAL CALL!’ 😳 – Windy on the controversial foul call on Jalen Brunson in Knicks’ loss | NBA Today

Tibs is fired up the Rockets get the win 105 103 and tibs is just here so he doesn’t get fined this is the way I feel about that in general is I don’t really care like how tight the game is called you can call it tight or you can call it Loose I

Just would like the consistency to be the same they have to use their judgment I and I have respect for that so didn’t go our way tonight on that last play great call next question what do you feel about your clothes out on that it was a great call next

Question do you think that was the right call Rich I I don’t know if we have the ability to show it again like I under it was a BS shot it was 100% a BS shot that’s not the question but if the ball’s still in someone’s hands and you

Hit their body he doesn’t hit his body okay well that’s the thing I didn’t see I couldn’t see if he doesn’t hit his body at all it looks like he hit his body great defense he forced him to take a one-handed shot okay well I don’t disagree so he does touch his body

Landing space ising space Landing space is not the only thing Landing space it’s it’s hands it’s Landing space it’s verticality you know you know that not a foul this is what I’m saying you know the play where you tap somebody in their stomach and you’re not allowed to hit

Them you know you know what I’m talking about when you hit somebody in their stomach that’s not Landing space that’s not risk you’re not allowed to touch a shooter when he’s in air well after the game crew chief Ed Malloy he was asked about seeing the replay and do officials

Believe that it was the correct call this is what he said right after the game Richard this wasn’t even the next he said after seeing it during the postgame review the offensive player was able to return to a normal playing position on the floor so the contact

Which occurred after the release of the ball therefore is incidental and marginal to the shot attempt and should not have been called so he admitted that it was I correct I 100% agree with what they’re saying what I am just sitting here and I think it’s it’s absurd for

Everyone to look at the officials and see that and not assume that there’s contact or to say like hey once we’ve slowed it down 19 times and looked at it from from six different angles that is not a foul that’s the only thing I’m saying and that’s what I that’s what I

Will agree with because if you’re watching the game and the refs do the best job that they can I know we give them a lot of hail sometimes but like that angle didn’t look like a natural I mean when you have the shot going up that way and then the angle that the

Defense came now you did not touch but I will tell you this when we sat down over the last season the WNBA we have the same type of rules conversations the number one emphasis that they brought to the table was Landing space and so if you’re sort of lunging I can see why

That whistle was called even though they didn’t understand no no I get the referees try and be very point of emphasis pro athletes brutal call brutal call and I am always a defender of officials I believe the officials don’t have an outcome of the game huge huge percentage

Of the time 99% this the 1% yeah it’s a brutal call and even what’s even more brutal about it Malika it’s the same official who made the call or not the non- call last year Boston that game in Boston when Tatum hits LeBron here this is a Pat Patrick

Beverly camera game right yeah Jason Goble in this particular case he he’s out of position um he’s on the Move he’s out of position um in both instances in the in the pool report after the game they instantaneously admit the foul is wrong which is unheard

Of I don’t know what would happen in overtime okay I I maybe the Rockets hit their first six shots and win anyway I’m just telling you it’s a brutal call the Knicks are in a brutal part of their schedule they got all these guys getting hurt Dante dvan chenzo gets hurt in the

Fourth quarter of this game they got two more games on this road trip Chan it is brutal yeah that’s a heartbreaker for the Knicks and I will say this you said two things on the move and out of position a lot of times refs see you on

The move and out of position and sometimes they call it not knowing the actuality based off of the angles right yeah but but here’s my issue is that unless there is a challenge available it’s not reviewable and I don’t think that anybody is clamoring to slow the

Game down more with no review challenge in the second quarter on a Taj Gibson foul sometimes tibs gets angry and he calls for he was angry or after this okay so let I I’m not going to question tibs and using it on your ninth man that just got joined to your roster because

They’re they’re not they don’t have the depth sound question sarcasm I know right only thing I’m say we look Alik I don’t I don’t see the but this is what I will say about the play and it’s not a defensive RI for Nicks fans truly I feel for you I know

Youall give a lot I give youall a lot of Heat Nicks fans this is not a shot at you what I’m merely saying is this in that play if a guy goes to shoot and he does have his Landing space you don’t hit his RI but the referee see his body

Turn as his body there at the end of the day that’s what happened yes he he believed that he made contact with him there was you’re saying you’re saying there was Zero contact I’m saying he missed the call but I understand why he called it I’ll take

That yeah no I think the angles didn’t help it and I do think that overall I mean you can say the game was one or loss on that possession but there were possessions before that really dictated it the refs are human we all accept that but that doesn’t mean that fans aren’t

Going to be very upset that doesn’t mean challes are not going to be very upset notable New Yorker Ben Stiller he was spamming frustrated posts on social media after the whistle and then he’s still so angry that he sent in an exclusive quote to NBA today saying

Quote basketball fans Not Just Nick fans all see that was an awful call shouldn’t there be recourse when refs make bad calls that loses the game also Brenson is an All-Star and does not get the calls or respect that’s irrev he say kk knows what I’m talking about so clearly

That’s irrelevant let me healthy Nick going to the Eastern Conference Finals Ben Stiller without a doubt is my favorite New York Knicks fan some people might say more some people say spike I love spike I grew up on Spike when I found out that Ben Stiller Live tech

Live tweets the game Ben Stiller is my favorite Nick really quick this is important right here though right because Dante D Venza went out with a hamstring injury which means the team may be down at least five guys who have started 14 games for New York why are

You making that face I just nothing the Five Guys how concerning is that surise by the way he he had when he suffered that injury he had played 41 of the 43 minutes in the game I don’t know what the severity of the injury is or how it

Happened but you have to wonder whether they’re overuse because they’ve had to play him so many minutes because all the other guys are out contributed to it and Malika they have two more Road games this week right before the allstar break and we’ve talked about how important the

Number two seed is in the Eastern Conference all [Applause] [Applause] right
