NBA

I had the same thoughts. He should be out but of course they missed when he threw Brunson to the floor, how convienent. Knicks just went through 3 teams and actually played basketball, now the refs are trying their hardest to make this series drawn out with missing big calls on one side and not the other. When the Spurs actually had the audacity to tell the refs why did you call that a foul we been doing this the entire game i had to laugh. Right off the top of my head yesterdays game had a missed goal tend and an out of bounds wrong call. Anyway yeah everything ive seen of him screams bully so far, and he is supposed to be the next big role model?

Despite all that (and a terrible shot % from the knicks) they still won! Not much comes close to how incredible last nights game was. My one friend who is a die hard fan said that may be the single best game hes ever seen.

I honestly started these playoffs being EFFUSIVE over the talent and development of Spurs' young players. They have such amazing talent collection from these last 3 years. And how Castle and Harper has grown WAY BEYOND anyone's imagination in such a short time. Everyone knows what unnatural gifts Wemby possess. Castle and Harper are probably the two most talented backcourt in the entire league. They possess top 10 talent already, and they are only in 1st and 2nd year of their profession.

YET. I am growing to DISLIKE Spurs. These Spurs. They play dirty. It isn't just Wemby. Carter Bryant body-slamming SGA twice in a span of 30 seconds. Castle doing the same thing to Brunson in game 3. Wemby's elbows. Wemby twisting Alvarado's neck in game 2. Shoving Brunson in the neck forcefully in game 3. Others that probably went unnoticed. Once is an outlier. When it's done multiple times, it's a pattern. It's INTENTIONAL.

They have more collective talent than many teams in the league. They can and SHOULD win on talent alone. There is ZERO need to resort to dirty tactics. Yet they do. They are shielded by a certain saintly halo Spurs have with the media for some reason. That halo is misplaced. Behind the blank or smiling innocent faces lurks dirty players.

And it is disappointing because Wemby seems so likeable. The young Spurs seem so likeable. But the way they play, they are showing who they truly are.

Dirty.
