Stfu Stephen A you fake Knicks fan MB been too laid back I’m happy he got a tech and called that bs out foh
STEPHEN A SMITH HAS BEEN TRAINED BY HIS "WHITE DADDIES " TO USE HIS "JUDAS SNAKE MOUTH " TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE " WHITE OLIGARCHY "
STEPHEN A SMITH IS A " DOMESTICATED MEDIA SERVANT " FOR THE WHITE OLIGARCHY
STEPHEN A SMITH IS A DUMB HYPOCRITE TRYING TO TELL MIKE BROWN WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE TO CALL OUT INJUSTICE
DOUBLE BLACK MIDDLE FINGERS TO THE JUDAS WHO USES HIS MOUTH AS A " DOMESTICATED MEDIA SERVANT FOR MAGA
STUPID A STRIKE AGAIN 😂😂😂
THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE TO PLAY " SOLITAIRE "THAT TIME AND PLACE SURE AINT GAME 4 OF THE NBA FINALS. THIS IS PROBABLY WHY ESPN KICKED STEPHEN A SMITH OFF ESPN NBA COUNTDOWN
NICE SUIT STEVEN A 🎉
SGA pushes off on Every Every Every drive to the basket to create separation!!!
STEPHEN A SMITH WAS PLAYING SOLITAIRE DURING GAME 4 OF TH3 NBA FINALS. SO YOU KNOW HE IS NOT WATCHING A REGULAR SEASON GAME BETWEEN TH3 KNICKS AND THUNDER
JALEN BRUNSON SHOT 5-18
BRIDGES SHOT 6-17
ONOUBY SHOT 6-17
KARL ANTHONY TOWNS SHOT 7-8
WHY IS BRIDGES,ONOUBY AND JOSH HART TAKING MIRE SHOTS THAN KARL ANTHONY TOWNS
WHAT ARE THE 49ERS DOING
As usual this is no different to politics; let the elites be protected and everyone else have no protection, have the Superstars not get blatant calls, while regular players get all the calls.
Man i loathe these peoples thought processes; never consistency always lopsided.
Chet is the next biggest reason they win last year. People forget, they were feeding Chet n he was putting teams away! Let's be real here, go back and watch some games if you think im wrong!
Quite frankly it's not just about SGA trying to foul bait really needed to dive in to the physical play allowed on their side of the ball then when the Knicks go to do the same the whistle comes out way more that's the point that needed to be made
jay will ' they didnt have caruso' proceed to show caruso guarding brunson what a f kn joke of a show
Jay lost me with that allen iverson comment, sga dosent get anywhere close to the amount of contact ai took on a daily basis
Jae against the players and coaches now since he was out of a job 😂😂
Naw that’s not true on AI. He was getting beat up for real.
This was the conversation around harden when they were literally guarding him from the side with their hands behind their backs
Again SAS doesn't watch any sports. You'd realize every game is about foul hunting and flopping.
You have to believe that if OG and the Knicks weren't playing a back to back that the final shot by OG goes in and isn't short. Short shots like that is an indicator of tired legs. Knicks did very well stayed right with the champs
Hush Jay…
A.I was 6'0 going to the rack against dudes 10 inches taller than him lol…
Its when they call the fouls!…duh…momentum killers…thats how the refs(league) effects the outcome of games
Talking about timing, I understand SA watches a bunch of games across the nba and may not tune into the Knicks as much. That being said Mike brown and these knicks typically don't complain, as the knicks get one of the worse whistles in the league if not the worst. The problem here though was that it was so blatant that it caused them to speak out, not just the coach but it was terrible. Down to the missed calls, look at the missed offensive interference @ 11:55. Refs really turned a blind eye to help okc and it's making the game tough to watch. We need to make sure the game is called equally. Maybe the game would be more enjoyable to view!!!
When AJ Dybansta (great player btw) is being hyped up about his ability to draw fouls in college and how it will transition to the nba. There’s a problem there, it tells me getting to the line now seen as a viable means of scoring, which in my opinion is bad for the NBA . Hate SGA all you want, but curry,harden started all this bs with the lean into defender bs and nba never cracked down on it. Now you have the petty calls we have today
Wow! Remember this week folks you're not winning with Jalen Brunson leading this team in scoring, you must focus on Towns getting his touches firstly, it ain't gonna happen Knicks fans and I'm an admirer! Lastly, the other teams are better with more skilled players!❤❤❤❤
SGA IS SO BORING.
Coaches and players criticize SGA because if they critize referees or the NBA executive they get penalize. Look what they did to Jeff Van Gundy who did not fear criticize anyone in the NBA got suck by the network. So Stephen A stopped criticzing the NBA officials, his afraid. 😂
17 POINTS IS NOT GOOD FROM KARL ANTONKNEE TWONS HE NEEDS TO BE DROPPING 25+ POINTS
What timing you clown talking about.when should he talk about it.before the game are a week after the game.yall some clown.because yall agree that the refs mess up all night
He’s fair in bringing up the thunder not having JDub and Harenstein and Caurso in the second half but we were missing our 2 most impactful important bench players in Deuce and Mitch. Plus it took our starting lineup shooting abysmal for us to lose
Why didn't he challenge the call??? Okc did and won theirs so maybe that falls back on the coach
A foul is a foul regardless who it is. Yall glazing way too hard. He’s a mere human. Who flops extensively, if he’s so great he wouldn’t need to act his way to 10 free throws a game
This chick called Stephen Smith “chocolate” on the show a couple days ago. What the heck they got going on behind the scenes because they’ve been awfully flirty as of late 3:16
Where tf is molly
Another hypocrite complaining about physical defence and drawing fouls. Do these muppets realise how pathetic they sound?
this was really good
Football analysis & basketball analysis work together next year espn
I know SGA cringe EVERY TIME Stephen A call him butter😂😂😂
Go. Keep blaming another player for your team's inability to win. What to do so you don't have to whine? Beat the other team to the ground, so that one call doesn't matter.
The difference with Harden was that he did not get those calls once the playoffs started, sga still does
SGA a MVP put some respect on his name
Shanae lookin baaaaad 🤌
