But the wind wasn't without some controversy.

Julius Randle called for a travel, although it appeared Kyrie Irving stripped him of the ball.

Randall, not happy with the call, was held back by teammates, and he voiced his frustration.

Max Kellerman.

Were the Knicks robbed by a bad call?

They did.

The Knicks got robbed last night.

And don't tell me about how many plays there are in a basketball game and you have chances.

I get all that.

But let's be realistic with what we're dealing with.

See those dudes on the Knicks?

Like Julius Randle there.

There's consolation prizes because the Knicks couldn't get the Nets guys to take their money.

That's why they have Julius Randle.

They have the leftovers, the Knicks and trying to make do.

The Knicks have no margin for error, which is what Thibodeau said after the game, Mind you, not that I have any feelings for the Knicks anymore.

As you know, no feelings for the next.

I'm just saying the reality is without a margin for error you cannot afford, especially playing that Brooklyn offense.

Dad calls Go against you Now what really bothers me, guys?

And the reason I say robbed is this.

The refs were challenged on a bad call, you know, right before that play where they trapped.

Because, by the way, the Knicks like they're trapping full court.

What is this 1986?

And Rick Pitino is the coach there, trapping in the n b A.

And it's kind of working.

But that's a hustling defense right there.

I got to give it to him.

They're playing with passion.

They're connected the whole thing.

So they challenged the call because it was a turnover, not a foul.

When they trapped Joe Harris and the rest of their credit, reviewed it and said, Yeah, we got it wrong and overturned the call.

So let me ask you something.

Why don't you review the call when Julius Randle Obviously that was a bad whistle.

Yes, Kyrie got his hand on it.

Yep, he stripped them.

Note.

It was not up and down.

It was not a travel.

So you know, by the way, review the call and tell me that I'm wrong about that.

But to not review it right after a review overturned the call.

Why wouldn't you do that?

Are you embarrassed by the fact that the first review worked?

Is it hubris on the part of the refs?

Does the league not want a game where you have to scrap for every point?

It's not as aesthetically pleasing.

It's just so messed up that a team that's as scrappy as this Knicks team is, and you know me.

I'm not a Knicks fan anymore, but any rate against a team as talented.

You see Stephen a the show that Kyrie put on again as this next team scraps and scrapes and claws all the way there.

And it's gonna be a game.

And maybe Randall sends it to overtime.

And maybe the Knicks win.

But to be denied that based on not just a bad whistle, but the refusal to review the play is a robbery.

Nick Scott, Rob, there's so much to teach you about the game of basketball.

I mean, I don't even know where to begin.

I'm just I'm going to try to, uh, just explain this to you, okay?

Julius Randle has a minimal amount of time.

He goes up to attempt a three point shot.

Kyrie Irving gets his hand on the ball.

You're supposed to drop the ball before your feet comes down on the ground.

Otherwise, it's a traffic period.

He held onto the ball and came down with both feet before he left the ball before he let the ball go.

That is clearly in the rule book.

It is a travel and that Is that.

What?

Having said that, let me be very, very clear as a diehard Knick fans who isn't a turncoat, a trader who should have, as New York is New York tag strip.

Okay, get out of town.

I told you to get out of town.

I told you to get out of town, okay?

You're a traitor.

But that's alright because we don't need you.

We don't need people like you, Max Kellerman, Knicks fans.

We deal Here, let me Let me tell you that interest.

You pathetic.
