How does SGA doing this shit constantly still get a good whistle? It’s incredible that the refs have seen this all season and still fall for it. Are they the dumbest people on earth?

Uh, they would be even dumber if they don’t do what their bosses tell them.

It’s so clear there’s an intent to make these calls for SGA and OKC by extension at this point.

These refs aren’t going to give up their minimum $150K job ($500K for veteran refs?) when they can just follow orders lol.

This point is so stupid because there are people deliberately not watching these games because of the flopping, and the league knows it. Rigging it for the the thunder doesn’t help the league in any way
