Boy, if they fine Dame for speaking what they’ve already confirmed is the truth, that will only add fuel to this fire. That loss stung. Dame has a right to be pissed and speak his mind.
I get the refs are bad and made some horrible calls and non-calls, but at the same time, I'm not feeling too terrible for them about the whole playoff race stuff. They have losses to Minnesota, Phoenix, Golden State, NYK, Cavs, Kings and there fair share of games they should've won had they played some defense. They really think they deserve to be in the playoffs they had their chances to take care of business. It sucks for Dame the dudes amazing, but I blame Neil and the roster more than the refs overall.
I can't blame him at all. He's busting his ass, we're in a playoff race, we only had 7 dudes and the fucking refs are also against us..... at some point it's just enough.
You should really be blaming me. Had I not coached those games we would have won at least 50% of them, but probably more like 70%.
He has to be fined. The cannot allow it or it will escalate. Bad calls happen all the time. This one was really really bad but a bunch of calls are really bad. There are so many plays in a basketball game that there are bound to be bad calls in every game. Maybe not this bad but they are bad.
