00:00So, all of the crying and complaining about the refs,
00:06that game between the Knicks and Pistons was dirty the whole game.
00:10They didn't call anything.
00:11I'll tell you this much, Pharrell.
00:13It didn't start in game yesterday.
00:17It started in game one.
00:18It was game one it started.
00:21Game one.
00:21With the physical play, they have allowed this to go on.
00:26And I think this is the problem that I have, right?
00:30You can't, as a player, you've got to know that the referees honestly dictate the game.
00:36They're either going to let you play or let you not play.
00:39Jalen Brunson could have shot 429 free throws yesterday.
00:45Every time he got bumped, checked, hand checked, up the floor,
00:50cacketing, clutch, grab.
00:52Now, was it a foul on Josh Hart at the end of the game?
00:55Yeah, absolutely.
00:56But let me ask you this, Detroit,
00:57while you're sitting there crying being on three games won.
01:01Game one, game two, game four.
01:04You had the lead in the fourth quarter.
01:06I do believe double digits on all three occasions are close to double digits.
01:09And you played two of them.
01:11So, to me, instead of looking at the referee and saying,
01:15oh, they blew a call,
01:16how about you look in the mirror and say,
01:18we shouldn't have been in that spot to begin with.
01:19Now, did it take Cat to hit, you know, a Bernard King fadeaway and then a 30-foot bomb to beat you?
01:27Yes.
01:28But you had that game, 10-point game.
01:31You had Brunson knocked out a game on a cheap play by Schroeder diving for a loose ball.
01:35So, to me, this whole nonsense of, oh, the refs cost us the game.
01:40No, no, no, no.
01:41You cost yourself the game.
01:42You cost yourself game one,
01:44and you almost cost yourself game number two as well.
01:48Now that it's going back to New York,
01:50because I watched all these games the same as you,
01:53I don't have anything to add to that.
01:55I think everything you said is dead on.
01:57So, where does it go from here other than,
02:01I mean, I thought he was going to punch the ref literally at the end of the game.
02:05Is a fight going to break out in this game tomorrow night at the Garden?
02:09I don't know if Detroit can play it any more physical than they're already doing.
02:12And then, there's got to be talk to the league officers.
02:16Do we have to find a way to clean this up?
02:18Because, Pharrell, this is nothing.
02:20Are you going to screw the next now with costs?
02:23Listen, usually it happens that way, right?
02:25J.B. Pickers have complained in game one after the game.
02:28Game two, he got calls.
02:30Tips complained game two after game three.
02:32So, I would expect that you should see a decided free-throw advantage for Detroit.
02:36I still think Nick's probably winning the game.
02:38But I think the game's going to go over,
02:39because there's going to be a ton of foul calls.
02:41And watch the game early.
02:43Very rarely do games get turned on the temp by officials at halftime or during the game.
02:47It's usually right off the bat.
02:48First four or five minutes, you'll see how the tempo,
02:51how it's going to be refereed by them early on in the game.
