11 numara alperenı pert yaptı her hareketı fauldu hakımler ev sahıbı takıma çalıştı
Referees are making strange decisions, is it because of betting issues.
we riding with you AL.P
The refs stopped the Rockets momentum and ended up ruining what could have been a fantastic 4th quarter and super exciting end to the game for all basketball fans and not just the Kings and some others if they had whistled impartially.
Alpi can't say it like that… as a basketball fan I can say it openly.
Sengun getting kicked out of a game is evidence enough. Thats like saying mother Teresa slapped the shit out of a child in bangladesh. We all know thats some bullshit. The league should immediately issue fines and suspensions to those refs just on the sheer emotional outburst of ALp.
The nba will never have accountability for their refs becuase the refs are the leagues foot soldiers who go out and influence games to get favorable matchups later in the season. If the league handcuffed refs and or pulled impartial refs for each game and proved betting and fixing was not there and all calls/no calls were legit and impartial may and june would look so much different with teams like the clippers trailblazers, and charlotte would be in the conversation. Most records would look eerily similar if all calls were correct and impartial because the refs control who what when where and how.
NBA refs are on the gambling syndicate payroll.
İyi giden takımı kötü bir hakem durduruyor , Rokets taraftarı suskun kalmamalıdır.
I mean , you know:_?
O hakem tam dayaklık.
