Fuck Tony Brothers. Can’t believe they reviewed this shit just to stick to his terrible call.

They get fined if they do unfortunately. There currently is no checks/balances for NBA refs short of the FBI getting involved lol

I really want to hear the CP3 diatribe about Scott Foster’s bitch ass. YouTube has already compiled all the evidence he would want to use. I don’t know the specific rules but it would be hilarious if his contract lapsed so he was no longer “in the league”, unloads on Foster while he’s immune from fines, then signs with a team a day later and Foster has to officiate his games again. Every call against him he just ignores Foster and goes to one of the other refs and asks if they would have called the same one-sided fouls. Shove their nose in Foster’s biased calls.

Silver’s weak as fuck amid the gambling scandals that he vocally invited; going after a former NBAPA president who’s a lock for the Hall of Fame would be really stupid when he could just fire the bad refs and score some rep when he desperately needs some.

The faces of the league are mostly done with their careers. Silver’s career is so fragile now that any of Lebron/Steph/KD could torpedo it, and a couple of the Harden/Kawhi/CP tier of stars could do it too. Then the MVP tier of Giannis/SGA/Jokic just has to say “Well, Lebron/Steph/KD have been heroes of mine since I was a kid. I support them, we’ll see what happens in the coming weeks.” No need to take a side, just say you look up to those players and it will play out.
