  1. Detroit mauled Knicks the entire game and didn’t get calls. How about all those 3s they missed? If they just made one of those, they wouldn’t be talking about this play. Make your shots and the game won’t come down to one call.

  2. I’M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS DISCUSSION.

    HART WAS FOULED BY TOBIAS HARRIS ON THE REBOUND. HE WAS HELD BY HARRIS AND HAD NO CHANCE TO GRAB REBOUND THAT LEAD TO HARDAWAY SHOT.

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

  3. That wasn’t a foul. Hardaway couldn’t shot the ball over hart but he waited for body contact and he kicked his feet out and leaned into hart for body contact.

  4. My dear Lord, enough Molly, nobody wants to hear you talk. Intro the subject and let the experts talk.

  5. Dam. Series defining no-call for sure. You can not call fouls the whole game but the mindset should be different if it's a buzzer beater foul. Look at the play anyway just because it's the end of the game

  6. I see one foul and one maybe foul. Harris definitely fouled hart. The second foul if that, is questionable as the player leans into an already in the air defender. This was a tmash tray kinda of foul batting, which officials tend not to call that often and really shouldn't be called.

  7. They gotta limit the amount of fouls a team can get in playoff games that take them to the line (potentially the amount of total foul shots allowed or total fouls that bring to line) I feel it would discourage any sort of foul baiting since it's still obviously in the league (Shai cough cough)

  8. Either everyone is smashing molly or she has dirt on the right people. There is no reason why she is still on the show. Literally every woman who takes over on first take is exponentially better than her and makes the show better

  9. No it was all air ball he won’t even gonna be close that’s why Tim leaned into him lmao cus he knew he was gonna miss 😂😂 stop whining y’all want them to return the loss like my coach said don’t leave it on the line

  10. And this game Stephen is on his phone everytime they show him.detroit got robbed of the game ,it was a foul that cost the game and Molly you get my respect.

  11. Here's a idea(besides the obvious get it right in the first place) why don't they make this game a tie, sure they can give it to the Pistons but you never know if the Knicks could have made a comeback with a basket or whatever So therefore make it a tie they can give it to the but a tie would be both teams have a win. So that way the pistons would have two wins then the Knicks would have one more game to win because I don't see them letting them play in a gym for a whole 48 minutes to decide the game so just chalk it up as both teams won that game giving them both a win. You may think what if a team already has 3 wins, they gonna automatically move on wouldn't they? No, let me explain: now if a team already has three wins then this particular thing happens (which it shouldn't) then they they play another game, that can be more money for them, if they're able to get a stadium at that point but if not there's other options, but another game is needed to be decided unless they go by some other method which in this case I would assume would be seeding &/or record vs that team, which If that was the case then the Pistons would automatically move on which wouldn't be fair seeing as they're not the better team than the Knicks not to mention record-wise either, beating a team doing a regular season means nothing So to go off of that is just ridiculous So at the end of the day they would have to play another game unless there's a couple games left to play to begin with but in the case of a game already being a game 6 that ends in a tie they would have one more game to play, if it was a game 7, it would have to be another game. All the more reason to make sure something like this doesn't happen in the first place.

  12. “There was a foul, that call should’ve been called “ … stop whining.

    100 million dollar contract hard at work

  13. Anyone with the name Steven that doesn’t go by Steve you can’t trust. He’s spent his whole life trying to make up for his first name. Last time he had a hot take was never. 😮

  14. The amount of money involved in these games and we cant take 5 seconds to review a game deciding moment. Cant say you didnt have time there was 0 seconds on the clock. You can blow a whistle. Stephen A's aggressive argument of its been called all game like that is bs. Its 3 point shot not a contested lay up driving into the paint. Only if stephen a was as confident as he is smart. Glad he was at the game to watch the knicks lose.

  15. Knicks fans rejoicing like they just won a chip, when they still languishing in round 1 only beating a team that won 14 games last year because of the refs😂 NY is the largest sports market yet ain't won nothing in over 50 years

  16. If Jalen Flopson didn't get a foul call on play like that, every crybaby in New Venezuela would be squealing about a conspiracy. At least be real with yourself.

  17. Stephen A it’s been happening all season. Literally like 5 games at least where they come back afterwards and say oh yeah we missed that one. That’s the issue for me
