Can’t help but note the irony that pistons fans spent the first 3 games complaining about Brunson being a foul merchant and an unethical grifter (unlike the Detroit tough guys) - yet are now complaining about a foul call w/ THJ leaning into a defender. - ThreadSky

The NBA actively admitted that they missed the call

If we're reviewing that sequence we would have to include the loose ball foul on Harris as he's holding hart down to keep him from jumping to get the rebound followed by knocking the ball out while having his right foot out of bounds. The shot attempt wouldn't have counted anyways

Bill Simmons said it on his podcast today. You can't allow that much physicality in a game and then end it on game winning free throws.

Hard to call yourself the "Bad Boys", play hyper aggressive and physical, then complain about a non-call.

Does anyone have a good angle of Harris shoving to get that rebound in the first place?

jrolle.bsky.social•8 days ago

@nbanewyork.bsky.social posted the video of the foul by Harris

tommybeernba.bsky.social•8 days ago

(All this after blowing an 11-point lead with 8 mins left b/c Brunson scored 15 points on a bum ankle in the 4Q without taking a single free throw)

jrolle.bsky.social•8 days ago

And the Pistons committing 19 turnovers — folks need to keep it buck, the game wasn’t decided on a single no-call. If there’s ONE thing to learn watching sports, it’s to perform well enough not to leave the outcome in any doubt. Pistons didn’t, sorry not sorry.

ESPN promised them Cade was the most talent guy on the floor and everything else was even

If pushing off was called he wouldn’t make it to the 3rd quarter

theviolenceoftruth.bsky.social•8 days ago

If Tiny Tim had tried to hit the three instead of selling the foul, maybe he would have gotten the call.

That’s the whole fucking point dumb ass, Brunson has been getting that call all series long but when a Detroit player does it no call. The games need to be officiated the same way for both teams and they’re not. The Knicks are being given favoritism by the refs. Period end of story.

divebart.bsky.social•5 days ago

The stats don't support your statement tho

brians8479.bsky.social•5 days ago

Wtf you talking about? In game 3 alone Brunson baited 2 Pistons into fouling him behind the 3 point line just like Hardaway did. Only difference is Brunson got the calls both times and shot 6 free throws.

divebart.bsky.social•5 days ago

You can't be whining about a play where Hardaway should have never even gotten that shot off due to the blatant foul underneath the basket

Enjoy your off-season Brian

Knicks had significantly fewer free throws this series. Refs let pistons play extremely physical defense the whole series - much more than they ever allow in the regular season

dangercart.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm sure Knicks fans (and every other fan base) would be taking it super well if the refs admitted after the game to missing a foul that would have sent them to the line with a chance to win a playoff game

Calling that foul still would have helped the Pistons! They'd get the ball back with a few seconds and down one score.

lajichris.bsky.social•8 days ago

Calling a foul on Harris would have helped the Pistons? Knicks would have gotten the ball in that case essentially ending the game and never allowing the missed Hardaway foul to even occur.

dangercart.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hart going to the FT line with a chance to extend the lead to three and ~5 seconds left on the clock would be a better result for the Piston than the game being over. Anything that extends the game would be better than the game ending!

lajichris.bsky.social•8 days ago

Ah, ok good point. Forgot they were in the penalty. Hart could have missed the free throw on purpose and we could have relived game 3 all over again.

Still, point remains about the foul against Hardaway.

dangercart.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's fine to just say "wow, we got away with one there" and move on. Everyone gets away with one sometimes. Lean into it.

spreenyk888.bsky.social•8 days ago

Who cares, any fan base would complain about it, and too bad. Knicks win.

If detroit wants to avoid that from happening, play better basketball and dont let the game come down to the final play.

jrolle.bsky.social•8 days ago

The Pistons had NINETEEN TURNOVERS…🧡💙

spreenyk888.bsky.social•8 days ago

Exactly. And if THJ didnt lean into hart and just shot the ball, a foul prob wouldve been called.

Oh well, my heart pumps purple piss for them. Lets go knicks.

brenhart.bsky.social•8 days ago

And kicking his leg out!

hansumjay.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just all wonky and terrible lol

I dislike him and Steve Mills, so I’m just here to laugh a bit

damperino.bsky.social•8 days ago

Defending the no call is insane work. Shameless stuff.
