    I’d love to know what dirt he has on the NBA. Shocking that he’s still employed.

    The refs are ruining the game. It’s not about you guys. Let the players play.

    If anyone wants to get down to the bottom of this corrupt ass shit, look no further than the head of the snake. Adam Silver has taken all necessary measures to give the refs as much power as possible to the outcome of the game.

    2 technical fouls should be 1 shot on the first 2 shots on the second, it should take 3 or more to be ejected, league needs to stop being the impatient intolerant ones. Make it hurt the score dont eject the player so quickly. Fuck the refs the fans are the reason the damn league even exists they deserve more respect than players ejected in 2 ‘strikes’.

      Legendary performance by an all-time great. He saw the up and coming refs throw out Jokic and took the steps needed to secure the throne. Scott Foster is HIM

    The first technical was when Chris Paul used the F* word on him. It was clear on the screen. lmao

    It was wise for Steph Curry to pull him out before he reached Scott Foster after the second tech, who knows what kind of worse might have happened.

    Anything short of rubbing his balls while saying Im rigging this shit it doesn’t matter he will get away with it. He could’ve ejected the whole Warriors bench for being teammates with CP3 and the league would let him ref the next day.
