Knicks fans were making and passing around social media videos arguing that the Miami Heat were intentionally attempting to hurt Knicks players.
There were cries all day for Adam Stern to question the referees and put them on notice for being complicit in this covert cheating scheme designed to allow the Knicks to advance.
Every Knicks fans to the man and woman decried that this cheating was the only way the Miami Heat could defeat their much more talented team.
Well, that didn't work.
The refs gave the Knicks no quarter tonight and if anything called every minuet infraction against the Knicks they could find.
And the Miami player most maligned by the conspiracy tapes was Bam Adebayo.
Bam came out tonight and played as if he was really going to do the knicks dirty and he did.
The Knicks kept the game close the first half of the game, but you could clearly see that the weight of carrying this sorry team was taking a toll on Jalen Brunson.
Brunson was dragging himself around attempting to muster all the energy he could to save the Knicks season, but it was too much for him.
Peeking in various Knicks fans live YouTube shows as they followed the game they spent the night begging for fouls. But I didn't hear much about Julius Randle's brain-dead defense or RJ Barrett missing layups.
No, it was all ammunition to complain about the inevitable loss and end of their season.
