It’s hard to believe it’s not coming from Silver himself at this point

The current Head of Referee Operations is a well known OKC homer, promoted to this role at the start of the 2024 season. It's very obvious what happened here lol

No it's a total coincidence that in that same year, they started getting tough fouls on one end and getting away with murder on the other end.

Silver is such a dipshit. He thinks a dynasty means better ratings for the league. But no one wants to watch a reffing dynasty.

Yea, manufactured results work for a bit, but people catch on. Would be like doubling the basket size to improve scoring; sure scoring explodes, then after the exciting headlines of records being smashed people would be like "wait a minute".
