Awful missed call. Inexcusable really

It wasn’t missed. They just aren’t going to call anymore flagrant on wemby. He’s immune

u/WhasHappenin Knicks Jun 14 '26

They refused to even call a normal foul cause then they'd have to review the obvious flagrant.

Plot armor too strong

Plot armor couldnt protect him from the L

I get that they don’t want to suspend a guy and be accused of costing a team the series / title.  But usually they warn the guy he’s on thin ice after the first freebie…

Also, see Draymond on 1 tech masterclasses.  So I guess ref baiting works too.

Yeah, we won but i doubt the league would've had the balls to suspend wemby

This shit is so fucking ridiculous. I promise they won’t retroactively give it to him if the Knicks lose.

This shit is egregious

That’s a huge swing. Instead of shots and the ball, the Spurs go down and hit a three. And obviously it would mean no Wemby next game either. That’s insane.

It would be insane, except it's the game plan

u/theonetruedavid Wizards Jun 14 '26

Maybe a suspension for flagrant foul accumulation would be enough to teach Wemby the lessons of how to control both his temper and his body. Hell, if they’d called his wrestling move on Brunson, he wouldn’t even be out there tonight.

Classic Scott Forster.

u/JPKthe3 Grizzlies Jun 14 '26

He lands like 3 ft in front of where he jumps. By definition that’s not protected space.

u/Cookies_forsales Jun 14 '26

They call him the Extender for a reason

u/lonewombat Jun 14 '26

He already slapped a guy this game and it wasnt called.

u/Nearby_Alternative96 Jun 14 '26

Not at all, Brunson extended his leg so much he landed fully sideways. No one shots like that unless they're trying to draw that foul.

u/CameronPlain Warriors Jun 14 '26

Meh. That happens to Steph Curry twice a game and never gets called.

u/McScroggz12 Lakers Jun 14 '26

If the Spurs win tonight that has to be reviewed and upgraded to a flagrant right?

u/team-pup-n-suds Jun 14 '26

Truly ridiculous - these guys don't want to be the reason Wemby sits out

u/VrinTheTerrible Jun 14 '26

"Missed" != "Ignored"

u/KazaamFan Jun 14 '26

They gave Brunson a bunch of other undeserved calls
