    My mans about to get a big fine. But hes right though.

  2. Rudy about to be chris pauled by Foster every time

  3. NAACP_YoungBoy

    Adam Kissinger legacy performance coming soon 👀

  4. Adam Silver not gonna like this one but he’s speaking facts

  5. KaiserKaiba

    They gonna get him for this. But he is likely right

  6. Stebsy1234

    Gambling on games should just be banned, get rid of it.

    Temple basketball is under investigation for potential match-fixing the other night.

    This is just the tip of the iceberg.

  8. Sacreville

    Ngl, respect him for saying that. They can deny it but it’s absolutely right.

    Refs already crafting together their Gobert under parlays as we speak

    I haven’t seen the rhetoric get this bad ever on nba referees.   People really believe they are betting on games and deliberately blowing calls to win their bets

    Rudy opened our eyes with covid-19, draymond looking for ejection when Steph isn’t playing and now referee sports betting.

    Truly a generational whistle blower

  12. WolverineLong1430

    Like our Congress? No…no no it can’t be, not the refs?

  13. awolflikeme

    It’s weird but I think both things are true at the same time. Zero percent chance betting doesn’t effect the game and reffing. But also gobert was fouling a lot that game and his sixth foul was absolutely a foul.

  14. He is gonna get a fat-ass fine. He’s not wrong though.

    “Adam Silver sends his regards”

    *Sniper shot*

  16. Vegan-Kirk

    He’s right but Cleveland still covered the spread

  17. imthinkingdescartes

    idec if its affecting refs or not, unconditional support for any anti-gambling sentiment

  18. tremendousaurus

    Refs have been atrocious since before legal sports betting. But it does seem like they’re getting worse in the recent years

    I’m glad this sub doesn’t talk about betting all the time, but it’s literally 90% of Twitter commentary now. I can’t imagine that refs aren’t heavily “suggested” to impact the massive amounts of money every night.

    Refs do fix games but it’s not all Freethrows, They control the flow of the game by allowing the team they want to win play physical defense while the other team won’t be able to play as physical because any soft touches will be called. That doesn’t show on stats or FT count. It’s not just the refs though I think NBA officials are also part of cheating, they are obviously teamed up like who they want to come out as a winner. it could be sports betting and it also could be boosting ratings like extending a playoff series to 7 games or avoiding a playoff swept, or helping a certain team make it to the playoffs.

    Refs are going to make sure that Gobert doesn’t get any “50/50” calls from here on out

  22. Briggity_Brak

    as someone who watched the wolves play the pacers yesterday, i agree with Gobert.

  23. thestereo300

    Get ready to learn French uh… Rudy Gobert!

  24. No-Economics4128

    Translation: what is 50k for a negro like me?

  25. K0CKULEES

    The dude who started the pandemic is about to expose the referee and sports book collusion. 

  26. Shit, did not expect a Rudy Gobert face turn for this seasons.

  27. speakevils

    Nothing to do with gambling imo, i think its a power play by refs who are tired of players complaining after every other possession, its just a flex to remind players who has the power.

  28. RIP wolves, gonna be on all the refs hit lists now

  29. Granpa2021

    NBA refs are the worst in sports IMO. They call fouls when they get in their feelings. Just to see the clip of Tim Duncan getting a technical for laughing while sitting on the bench. In what other sport does that happen? The NBA needs to do something about their ref problem. It’s damaging the game. They need to take power away from the refs.

  30. DoomedVillainy

    Genuine question – can somebody explain to me the connection between the increase in sports betting and refs? Asking from ignorance here. Is it something to do with refs fixing games because they themselves have bets on or is it something else? I’ve just never understood the correlation of sports gambling increasing = refs fixing games.

    Let’s see Ant goes 7-26 is that the refs fault? He actually missed a wide open dunk it bounced off the rim was that the refs fault? Rudy airballed a dunk did Scott Foster do that? Rudy gets a tech because he is an idiot did the refs make him get a tech?
