Show notes

The guys dive into the growing controversy surrounding the NBA Finals after Victor Wembanyama’s shove on Jalen Brunson in Game 3 sparked outrage from Knicks fans and renewed criticism of the officiating. While the NBA later acknowledged a foul was missed, the league declined to assess Wembanyama a retroactive flagrant foul, fueling debate over whether the Spurs star is simply playing physical basketball or beginning to develop a reputation as a dirty player. The conversation centers on the inconsistency of the officiating throughout the series, as players and coaches continue to struggle with where the line is being drawn between letting teams play and calling every bit of contact. Plus, Joe and Hollywood discuss whether the Knicks need to match San Antonio’s physicality, how Game 4 could be officiated, and what kind of tone the referees will set in a pivotal matchup
