Since criticising the refs for rewarding flopping, Cade Cunningham has been to the line a total 2 times on 51 shot attempts over his last two games.
It seems blatantly obvious that the refs are sending a message to Cade that he can’t criticise them like he did.
It was almost comical tonight watching them swallow their whistles on all of his shot attempts. There were multiple shots where he was clearly fouled by multiple defenders and the refs didn’t flinch.
It’s pretty sad that they have this level of jurisdiction over a game and act like children when someone calls them out.
Luckily we’re smoking teams still and don’t rely on foul calls, but its the principle that matters.
