The Knicks can't keep letting their star get abused otherwise they are gonna lose this series. If complaining to the refs doesn't work they are going to have to get physical back. Stand up for yourselves. I say go after Wemby if it comes to it.

2 of the worst examples from last night:

Wemby throwing Brunson to the ground with not even a foul call WTF https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8sDs38A/

Castle hard foul on Brunson https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8sDsKkA/

Clearly the Spurs learned some things from the dirty OKC Thunder.

Wemby dirty hit on Jalen Brunson

As a Spurs bandwagon fan, Knicks should send an end-of bench guy after Wemby if he keeps playing chippy. But I get why they wouldn't want to give up technical FTs when the last two games were so close.

    Is it dirty if it's not called?

    Look, I totally agree with you on the physicality front, and I think it needs to be called fairly and properly... That being said, players will do what they can get away with, that's how it works!

    LOL no. Spurs have been playing dirty physical ball all year, all these playoffs. You weren't watching the earlier series or the series against OKC. For all the media and social media hysterical cries about OKC Spurs were just as dirty if not dirtier. Go watch the post I have on Pop's coaching.
