Still not sure what good it does... other than riling up the fan base. Referees make mistakes... now what?
So Joey Crawford throwing Tim Duncan out of a game because he was laughing was a strong sign of impartiality?
So this is a gambling thing? I thought it was a competitive thing. "call the game fairly" James Harden
https://airalamo.com/2018/08/23/san-antonio-spurs-joey-crawford-tim-duncan-ejection/ Yea, officials NEVER show any sign of bias towards one team or another. Just specific players.
I mean, James harden wants them to call fouls like they aren’t betting on the point spread. That’s calling the game fairly. That did not occur in game one. Just look at how bad the calls get when the warriors aren’t up by at least 5, then look at how even the get when they’re up 10. It’s not random. At all.
so.. your point is... the refs realize what's happening and then pour it on because they don't like the rockets?
Referees making occasional mistake is okay... but when referees wrong calls favor one team 70-90% time then it's not mistake it is rigging. Mistakes don't favor any specific team game after game unless deliberate.

It seems that some of the refs are biased towards one team or the other. If this continues, then this will be my last season as a season ticket holder and my last season to watch the NBA period. --
What is the use of having a mobbed up owner when you can’t even bribe or intimidate refs into giving your team favorable whistle against a team owned by soft Silicon Valley and Hollywood people?
Tim Duncan did plenty of complaining to the refs too. So that narrative needs to stop. The laughing ejection was of course bullshit.
