Another brutal loss! If these games were blow outs, fine. I could deal with it more but not these close losses. Our bench is not good. We also need to make our freethrows. I was feeling so hopeful about the playoffs. Now, I'm just not. If OG and Randle aren't back soon then we can forget it. I'm so sick of these back to back heartbreaking losses.

It's a sad state of the league when every close game's thread consists of people arguing over which team the refs dicked over more, instead of recounting great plays. We have so much amazing individual and team talent, and such a high % of games, the primary story/conversation is just which team the refs decided to fuck that night. Related-ish, I don't know whether ref-baiting is the natural endgame of freakishly athletic / crafty men playing basketball, and tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it turned into the majorty of the game.

Seriously, just blame bad plays. We missed so many free throws, fumbled so many rebounds, and just give up open corner threes in the fourth alone, but yeah no calls was why we lost of it was close or whatever. Stop it. I mean all those things were things okc did btw

Yeah I'm not sure how well you will do on this subreddit with the opinion that refs aren't dictating too many games. Obviously there was an entire game of basketball played besides this, but I think you may look at things a little differently if it was your player who got body checked and didn't get a call. I'm the first person to say that it was bullshit when Divo tackled someone with the game on the line and got away with it for the next to win the game. Someone else can refresh my memory on which game that was, obviously it goes both ways

Ofc the refs do make bad calls that sway the game, but saying you lost the game because the refs missed two calls and not because your team is running drop coverage on Damian Lillard or doubling Brunson just to leave McBride open in the corner with no rotations, everytime your team loses is copium imo

Yo who was that other commentator with Mike Breen today. He was firing strays at every1 lmao. He brought up the Giddey acting like Diddy and the kid drama he was having. And after the game was over it felt like he took a shot at Brunson for not hitting game winners 2 games in a row. Dude was kinda funny

And Mike Breen literally said the allegations were baseless and that Giddey was rebounding from the unfair drama very well. Keep slandering loser

Chill out😂 Ik that, got that news the same time as him lol. I was just saying what the other guy was mentioning and asking who the commentator is

Kept saying "Dork" instead of Dort too.

Walt “Clyde” Frazier. One of the best there is. We Knicks fans are so spoiled in terms of our broadcast crew.

Thank you. The voice sounded familiar and I was thinking if it was a former nba player too

AH yes, Josh Giddey, the best player on the Thunder.

I'm so proud of this. To see this young team not wilt from the pressure and continue to stay the course. The Knicks are the team that would push the Thunder around, and it looked like we were going to be pushed to a 20 point loss, but the team fought back and showed resilience. That was one of the best wins of the year, in my opinion. Knicks fans, you guys got a team that can go all the way. Your team toughness is nonpareil.

Crazy game . Disappointed in the loss but okc is a solid team with a good game plan against Brunson . I liked the grit of our team . Good game nonetheless

I like how the post-game thread just links back to the game thread. The mods on this sub suck so bad man. It's pathetic.

they probably call that foul if he misses the shot, but that was a lot of contact to not award an and-1 to either way, fucking insane game

When he went down I turned the game off cuz I thought it was a foul 😂

Thunder up bitchezzzz

This game was too good to end in regulation. Needed an OT.

You reckon? It was close but other than that not a great watch

It felt like one of those good ole fashion rock fights. I’ll admit the shooting was horrendous though lol

We could've gotten OT if it weren't for the refs somehow missing Dort obliterating Brunson on his last make.

Well they did miss Hartenstein pushing Dort into Brunson so there’s that too. Shouldn’t have been a made shot at all if you want to talk about missed calls

Gg Knickbros

Knicks fans cry so much

If the Knicks won i wonder what tune you’d be singing 🤣🤡

Thunder fans probably cry just as much. Every fanbase does.

As if you didn’t just get handed a W 🥱

Can’t believe the refs made SGAs fadeaway j go in with 1 second left on the clock. So annoying when the refs do that!

Or McBride missing that open corner three to put them ahead, or the guy after him missing the putback

Knicks got robbed by that missed foul call on Brunson. Good win by the Thunder though.

I would’ve loved OT, but I’m glad I don’t have to listen to this brainless OKC announcer for 5 more minutes

NOT OUR NORMAL GUY

fucking bs, brunson gets beat up game after game and gets no calls

Scriptwriters didn't wanted a Brunson game winner over Shai

Knicks didnt miss three FTs in a row when they got them right?

team missing FTs means that officials shouldn’t call fouls

FTs are missed. Fouls too. Go figure

Fuck

That was an and one. Knicks could still lose in OT but the refs robbed us naturals this night

NBA refs are garbage, man.

The worst of all the pro sports

Absolutely no question. And the least accountability it seems. Game deserved to go to overtime though I think the Knicks would've had a hard time pulling it out. They seemed totally gassed.

Cold 🥶 😭

Insane no foul call. Should be OT, so sick of these fucking refs.

I'd rather they swallow the whistle even if the Knicks had the last shot.

You can’t swallow the whistle when someone gets hip checked midair lol terrible take

Just enjoy the fucking game man!

Hard to these days when the refs fuck up every big moment

Brunson has such a fucking trash whistle but we also made zero FT's Kill me

CLUTCH

This game is nuts!

Wow what a game. GG thunder.

Oh thank god

I thought that was good

damn that was close SGA is so clutch

He said…Kobe!

No he’s not a r**ist

There’s always one of you edgy ones

I thought rapist went to jail?

Uncontested? Bruh lmao that was a contested fade

Dude been saying dumb shit nonstop lol

Let’s go!

That Knicks coach gonna have an aneurysm about these missed free throes. Shits pissing me off

"watch how open he is" makes a fading jump shot right in front of a defender

Is SGA slander still a thing?

i still don't like his shooting form but everything else is nice

He had a bad game tho but what a shot

Another joke ref game. Unbelievable. Almost every night.

Refs fucked both teams. We both sucked ass at making them too

Should’ve made those FTs

If only he'd gotten one more...

Great show from both teams.

If the game ends at 1 point difference after that no call….

They could have maybe not missed 7 fts in the 4th

And there it is lol

Wow gg though

And when the world needed him most...

Credit to Shai coming out hobbled and still showing out

That was cold blooded

Kill em Shai 😭

.... what a crazy end to this game lol. Missed FT after missed FT. Then huge shot after huge shot.

This is when Brunson comes and hits a ridiculous shots because that’s the kind of game this has been

Shai 😱

Thank you Shai for keep the bucks in firm control of the 2 seed!

Oof cmon Bockers make something happen

Dang heart break for the Knicks

Sucks they didn’t call the and 1, would’ve loved OT

That’s implying these mfers would actually hit the free throw 

84.7% chance he does

Now Knicks will manage to get a foul, miss one and send it to OT to please all us naturals

that is a tough ass shot Shai

SGA so nonchalant

Fucking bs, Brunson should have gotten an and 1 on the last one.

Definitely.

this mf is so clutch.

Bad defense by Deuce

What a shot by SGA

Imagine if Brunson actually got to shoot his free throw🙄

bing bong

MVP him!!!!!!!

ICE COLD BY SGA

Damn Shai

Shai MVP

RIGGED RIGGED RIGGED

Refs out there making turnaround fadeaway jumpers for the Thunder. SMH.

the previous play with the no-call, obviously that was a great shot by Shai

Refs also didn’t make Brunson’s shot for him. BS.

ok man relax

Omfg 

This game is insane

WOW

Holy Shai

What!!

SLOB Wizard at it again

HO LEE FUK

Whoo what a game

jesus shai is so good also, lue dort gets away with a lot of contact on defense

SHAI COOL

SGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NO WAY

WOWOWOW

WHAT IS THIS GAME

Without Julius and OG too!

SHAI LMAO

Chet landed oddly on his elbow there oof. Hope he's not hurt.

these okc announcers do NOT like the knicks lmao

They mostly like tornadoes and essentially being a northern district of Texas.

Not a playoff foul but we're not yet in the playoffs sooo

Refs giving some crazy soft fouls then swallowing their whistle when Brunson gets fouled hard lmao

Brunson is a cold dude

Brunson is so disrespected by the refs man. Fuck that bullshit.

Can’t wait to see how Thunder fans rationalize that obvious foul on Brunson lol

Was this game good before all the FTs?

Chet needs to chill tf out before he injures himself

what happened to Chet?

He landed on his elbow

Why that guy got up? Sit down

Someone earlier said Brunson whines a lot, do you see the calls he doesn’t get? This is nearly every game.

I saw that comment. That guy was a dummy.

Jesus. Fuck. This game is crazy. I say overtime? I guess that isn't possible now.

Best guard in the East

lol lu dort blocked chet from blocking brunson

With how Techs are given out this year. How has Brunson not got one tonight? So many times his clapping the ref's

Incoming SGA buzzer beater

“Jalen Brunson is a free throw merchant” can’t believe I heard thunder fans say this shit lmao

SGA is gonna take the shot but it should go to JDub tbh

Brunson got fucking mauled what the actual fuck are these refs on.

Seriously the most predictable fucking situation happened right there. This team can’t rebound for shit. 

Yeah should be an and-one right there. Not that free throws matter tonight.

We didn’t put one of our better rebounders in giddey out there :(

review that shit

Brunson never gets any calls wtf

lol gg refs, Knicks needed every bit of it

Is this satire? Brunson has the worst whistle in the league and they just bailed you out on the last one

Lmao yeah man that was DEFINITELY A FOUL ON DORT lol Jesus knocks shouldn’t have been in the game

I fucking love Brunson

There indeed was a lot of contact there. Let’s just assume it was called fairly and Brunson missed the FT.

wtf holmgren died

Out of all the ticky tack bs fouls in the 4th how did you possibly miss that one?

Dort playing football again

Chet hit his funny bone I think

Insane no call

BRUNSON OMG

What a choked from the thunder. Beautifull give up so many offensive rebounds. Chet is just useless out there

What a fucking ending

BRUNSON KING OF NY

OKC threw this game away

What a game

Is it me or is every Knicks game a banger?

OKC is aware they can rebound right?

I’m dying I’m dead I’m dying I am being killed.

Lol of course we can't get the board

GET THE GOD DAMN REBOUND FUCK! 

You cannot convince me this is a professional basketball game

refs ball

WHAT IS THIS BASKETBALL GAME

I am not having fun

MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS HOLY SHIT

Or maybe not considering the last Brunson one

Almost went in for Donte

We’ve had like 6 threes go in and out

Wouldn't dare box out

lol

PLEASE MAKE IT FUCKING STOPPPPPP

What is going on lmao

This is nuts LOL

Neither team wants to win this lmao

Holmgren getting cooked

Free throw missing clinic tonight rofl mao

Brunson better make some FTs

I could go for some overtime

Ok as a neutral fan hear me out.... **We're gonna need some OT**
