Knicks Fans Have EVERY Right to Be FURIOUS
Evan & Tiki break down the Knicks’ loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and the controversial replay moments that helped shape the game.
A late replay review led to a rare proximate foul on Karl-Anthony Towns, while an earlier play involving Shai Gilgeous-Alexander raised questions about missed calls and how replay is used in the NBA. Evan argues the bigger issue is the system itself and whether instant replay is actually making the game less fair.
Did replay cost the Knicks? Or did it simply expose a flaw in how NBA games are officiated?

Coach Brown could have challenged the call instead of getting a tech and whining about it at the post game presser.
We kno the refs violated just keep it a buck
give kat the damn balll.!!! … please i begeth you!!!
Tiki look like an undercover cop
SGA had 7 fts btw, thanks to Mike brown for getting that tech or else it woulda been 6
You know the okc hate is getting bad when they blame the replay 😂 like cmon it’s blatantly obvious it was a foul after we challenged. That’s what challenges are for.
Knicks have every right to be furious that Brunson sucked for 3 quarters. The “missed” calls were next to meaningless. Officiating was fine. You were down 13 and scored 40 in a half.
@ 3:35 You're very wrong, Sir.. It works, and it's being used for its intended purpose… These replays and rules give the refs the ultimate power to control the game, especially for the OKC, now that Lebron no longer makes the NBA money.
The knicks passive play killed them more than anything. Does anybody really watch the game? Look at knicks players on offense when they catch the ball and look at the thunder players. One team has 5 guys on the court willing to shoot and create at any time, one team has guys who dont even look at the basket for a quarter. The defense is great but I always worry about us scoring at a steady pace.
Do not blame the officials, blame the idiots who played Mitch in Toronto instead of playing him AT HOME against the champs. The Knicks would've beat Toronto without Mitch.
Knicks can’t win title because towns is too soft player no killer instinct
NBA officiating is the worse of any other professional sports.
I got the same water bottle hidrate spark.
So Knick fans are upset over one non call? They had the rest of the game to win! Missing so many 3's could be the reason!
We have people talking about things that they clearly know nothing about first of all the replay is for review for when a coach challenges a call the coach for the thunder challenge both calls to which he was correct about. It was a charge. His guy was in position outside of the restricted area and was hit. Therefore it was a charge just like yeah he had two players Isaiah Joe and Lou Dort Hoover also given charges against Jalen Brunson. So you’re only complaining because you’re a New York fan lol. Secondly, you can challenge for a proximity call so no the officials didn’t just go over there and review and say it was a foul heat challenge that the reason that the ball went out of bounce, it was because Dort was fouled by KAT. Which yet again was the correct call. Mike Brown has two challenges just like Mark and did he use none but stay complaining He’s literally playing with y’all. He knew the majority of the shit that was called was correct, but he’s towing with Charles’s heads as fans because if you believe there were several places that were wrong you have more than enough opportunities to challenge them and never did.
They would probably sing praises for the replay if it worked on their favor. 🤷🏾♂️
This is the same special treatment that the officials gave to the superstars back in the glory days to Jordan, Kobe and Reggie back in the day 🙄
PS I wish Mike Brown would call challenge once in a while sheesh 😒
An approximate foul is called all the time. Wtf are you talking about.
The Refs was so dirty in this game they give that game to OKC
KAT biggest problem is he never works for his position before he gets the ball it’s like they don’t even work on it he needs to get his bag ass on the block in his spot and then call for the dam ball for god sakes !!
On the OG play the defenders upper body is still moving upwards when OG leaves his feet it’s a dam joke !!!
Summary: OKC's coach MarkD is better than Knicks Mike Brown, without the advantage of home court replay jumbotron…
All offensive players including JB use the shoulder to create space. I want AI to officiate these games. Some contact should be allowed. Offense players initiate the contact via a shoulder, instantly a foul.
We need more cameras all over the court and have AI calling the game😮
Thank you gentleman. There are few who aren't afraid to speak up. As a knick fan and sports fan all i would like is ' if you call it or don't call it, then do it for both sides'. If SGA got a no call on that clear charge then OG should've gotten the same no call. NBA should be aSHAImed
I’ve been watching basketball since 68 and I deeply deeply upset how the MB treats their stars they pamper them. Those stars are always getting files or getting the calls but back in the back in the early days of basketball you name me a player like Wilt Chamberlain never filed out but always have five files and he managed to game. He learned to manage games. Apparently these refs are managing games to the stars now because they’re the face of the league.
Replay should not be used to reofficiate the game.
Nah this shit was nothing robbed is what happened to the pistons in last years playoffs vs the Knicks
Knicks 24 personal fouls committed vs Thunder 22 personal fouls committed…lets blame the refs for the lost.
Cry baby mentality. Play better.
Tough game the Knicks could have won, but since they loss im not judging them on the NBA best in OKC i will judge the Knicks when they go to OKC on 3-29, play a competitive game there. Im not mad at the refs because you cant put the game in the refs hands, shoot a better three point percentage and make your free throws!
So the thing about this is how we all see how the NBA favors small market teams in order to satisfy the business aspect. This is in the draft the referees and other subtle aspects. Now, we are all seeing what is going on before our eyes and we know that the referees are controlled by the unseen hand yet the NBA is holding players and coaches accountable for gambling and all this integrity issues when we all know that the NBA isn’t clean at the top. If you want it clean then be clean otherwise you are going to be dealing with fruits of a poisonous tree.
The Knicks are the best team in the NBA
That charge you talk about on Shai. The same exact happened last time Denver played OKC. They didn’t called on Jokic either! Jokic got away as well but I don’t see OKC fans cry about it though. It was on 4th quarter at closing time!
The Knicks are not on the same level as Thunder period
ty, it means even more from you guys. that was agenda based
You New Yorkers are soft
Same play with OG but they call offensive foul, Thats some Bullshiet
15:09 is funny to me idk why lol
All superstars get the calls! Stop it!has anybody watched BB the last 50
What knicks fans should actually be furious about, is that they lost a game by 3 points despite having 15 more shot attempts.
I can not understand whining about a bad call when if the knicks just didnt play like ass to begin with, they wouldve won regardless of one play
