Take a look as Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone is tossed late in the first quarter after a brief exchange with official Curtis Blair following a foul called moments prior as the Nuggets took on the Detroit Pistons.

The worst refs in all sports!
And the nuggets still won, but the refs covered that spread!
Thankfully, they were playing the Pistons
Ridiculous. This ref needs to be ejected from his job.
Thanks Pistons…. Won my money back. Keep sucking…
Everyone keeps talking about how the refs are ruining the game. It makes you think, what if the NBA knows this and continues to have refs make such horrific calls just to get attraction towards on media, viewership, and sales.
All's well that ends well. Too bad the refs couldn't make the pistons win.
These refs are outta control
Refs seem to be on a power trip these days !!
Reff is gen z , ,
Its about time when reff doing wrong call,, they get fined!!!
I thoughts I read back in the summer that refs can be punished (or something) or get their calls reviewed?
Mike Malone got tossed, Jokic got thrown out, Jamal Murray didn't play, and the Pistons still can't get a W.
Seems like there is a ridiculous ejection every other night. Giannis the other day, Jaren Jackson Jr, Malone and Jokic at the same time.
Still won tho
Im on the refs side on this one
People are tired of this ish and the commissioner is gonna be out. Believe that!
sorry ESPN, Mike Malone had a brief spat with WHO?
Why bother getting tossed against a non-nba team like the pistons ?
Despite having the coach and mvp ejected, they still won. Amazing!
Sports gambling
Stephen A smith said it the best: NOBODY PAYS MONEY TO SEE ARROGANT AND SOFT REFS. Sometimes i do realize that not ALL Players from today are soft. ITS THE LEAGUE, ITS ADAM SILVER, IT'S THE REFS. For me Ja MORANT shouldve been baned for 50 games, Draymond for 10 games, and refs should be banned several gsmed after poor officiating. Long live DAVID STERN. He would've been more suitable fpr this league. He was not ideal, but he was not SOFT. THAT MAN was a man compared to ADAM SILVER.
Back in the day, they wouldn't likely have called a foul on that. But I can understand wanting to protect players from being undercut like that.
NBA is the only pro league with a track record of corruption, where refs conspire to fix games & settle personal vendettas.
NBA is the only pro league whose refs were CHARGED & CONVICTED of fixing games (WCF between Lakers & Kings)!
Imagine how much corruption must have gone on for such a powerful organization to have the courts not only get involved, but make it official & a fact that NBA is a corrupt league!
Get rid of this ref
Malone always throwing temper tantrums
CP3 didn't tossed out for intentionally bumping onto Conley's knee?
Malone just want to have a private 1 on 1 in the locker room with joker
So the Nuggets lose their Head Coach and Nikola Jokic and still win?
Jesus you cant even show any passion in the game… referees are a joke
We shouldn't even know the ref's names like that. No one pays to see them.
Refs are trash 🗑️
Refs are out of control.
