[Highlight] Anthony Edwards postgame: “I’m going to take the fine, because the refs gave us no calls tonight. We had to play through every bump and every grab. I don’t know how we won tonight. Big shout out to my team and coaches.”

He also was caught on the mic telling his teammates “Cheating ass referees”
Finch won’t do it, so Ant will
He ain’t wrong. Refs need to stop encouraging players who flop/throw their heads back etc, and start rewarding players that actually try and score through contact and get bodied for their trouble

He’s not lying
He’s right. Won that game 8v5
You’re suppose to compliment the refs Ant. That’s the secret to getting calls.
Shai Freethrows-Alexander
the fine is one thing but he’s gonna get even more biased calls from refs if he keeps bad mouthing them lol
lmao love the shit stirring. That’s my franchise player.
factual
Definitely isn’t MJ’s kid
we need this even when teams end up winning. refs suck ass
Biggest problem with the nba is how certain players are reffed differently than others
It definitely feels like, WAY TOO OFTEN, that referees call everything on one team while allowing the other team to get away with murder. That shit has to stop.

This os the guy the league should try and market. Like mans fun as hell.
It’s the LeBron effect. He’s so strong. His ability to play through it and still get a shot up while not letting the contact move him makes it look like minimal contact.
Ant: send da fine
Even if he’s right I hate how focused he gets about the refs sometimes. It shouldn’t impact it, but I’d guess he gets a worse whistle because he complains alot. Other guys get away with doing it (Luka comes to mind), but he’s not at that level
I’m not mad at Shai for baiting. If it was easy to foul bail, everybody would do it. I just cant understand why KAT has the worst whistle in the league. I dont remember one time he got a favorable call on offense. Every time he makes just a little extra contact there he gets called for an offensive foul.
22 Thunder FTs to the Wolves 15
19 Wolves fouls to the Thunder 17
Not sure Ant’s getting his money’s worth on this one.
This dude just oozes charisma
Hard to believe but Kat has an even worse whistle
zero issue with players doing this stuff; i’m actually shocked at the level of restraint the stars typically show–given that 25K i like 5% of one game check.
I know Ant is careful with his money but I get why he thinks this is an instance where he can def. live with the fine.
I like this, more players need to speak on the matter, not just on the bad days. Neutral mode should be the only ref-mode, we are not here to watch your idiotic stunts.
Man I keep seeing MJ in this kid. It’s so cliche and stupid but why? He’s not even at his airness’s level when they were the same age…
I DON’T KNOW
Own those ref merchants
I actually really like Ant but this dude complains about the refs so much lol.
I’m sure this will go a long way to curry favor with the referees in the NBA
This makes me like Ant even more! Lol Fuck a fine, speak yo mind!!!
Cheatin Ass Refs
How many more teams/players are going to complain about no calls this season?
The league needs to look into this issue.
We won, and I’m pissed off.
Fucking NBA is hard to enjoy at times….
It’s sad the nba and nfl will just keep fining players and never address the refs
Dude is hilarious
Is Ant the closest player we have to MJ? Maybe a few inches shorter but plays like him
Gotta wonder how many winning teams have complained about refs after the game. That’d be an interesting stat.
He tells the truth. He don’t need to head flop and suck off refs like SGA.
I’ve been saying this for the last few seasons. You can’t even breathe around Shai, you’ll get called for a whistle just looking his way it’s ridiculous lmao. I don’t get the obsession the refs have with certain players but referring in the NBA has always been a clown show so I’m not even surprised.
Don’t these fines go to charity? All star players and coaches with big ass contracts should just go off on the refs every game. It’s a tax write off anyway.
Edwards: If Adam Silver is wondering why the league is losing ratings? That’s why! You have the refs trying to take over the fucking game!!
Reporter: Anthony, we are on live. 🫣
Edwards: I don’t give a shit
Used to love SGAs game but now it is insufferable. Gets the easiest whistle while Ant gets hammered over and over. Fix your product NBA
Legend.
We shot seven more free throws than they did. I’m not sure it qualifies as you “getting no calls”, but take the fine I guess. What a sore winner. Hope we see them late in the playoffs, I’m ready for this rivalry.
Real as fuck
I always laugh at how serious people take the outcomes of basketball and football when the refs literally have such a strong sway in who wins. It’s no secret at all. I prefer sports without refs.
