The worst part is, I’m sick and I’m taking tomorrow off. I planned on watching sports recap shows all day, but not now.

It is absolutely not about right for him.
The dude spots up from 30 feet, if you can't run a DHO or a simple screening action to create separation 30 feet from the hoop your offense is broken.
Trey is a superstar in the making: an all-star level talent whose shooting changes things for this team. This team's record when Trey gets up at least 8 attempts from 3 is mind-boggling, worth looking up if you're ever bored. To have a coach who thinks 20 minutes is fine and we don't have to run anything for him is a joke.
Basketball.
Dyson Daniels should have played more (led team w +18)
CJ is a moron for taking a three when we needed one
I genuinely feel bad for the Pels after this. They got dealt a really bad hand and I hope they don’t let it make them start slipping. Just keep playing the same. A victory would have happened any other night.
*ahem*
Timothy Francis Donaghy (/ˈdɒnəɡi/; born January 7, 1967)[2] is a former professional basketball referee who worked in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for 13 seasons from 1994 to 2007 until he was caught in a gambling scandal.[3] During his career in the NBA, Donaghy officiated in 772 regular season games and 26 playoff games.[3]
Donaghy resigned from the league on July 9, 2007,[4] after reports of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for allegations that he bet on games that he officiated during his last two seasons and that he made calls that affected the point spread in those games.[5] Donaghy later admitted to betting on games he officiated in each of the 2003–04, 2004–05, 2005–06, and 2006–07 seasons.[6] On August 15, 2007, Donaghy pleaded guilty to two federal charges related to the investigation
Zion had three rebounds. I know foul trouble was a factor, and maybe illness was a factor, but come one. I saw him have a good rebounding half in the last game (or the one before that I forget). So I know when his energy level is up he can do it. But there has been too many games where his energy level has sucked. I’m tired of watching him flat footed under the basket.
I’m sure there is much more than just this guy too. Some people just don’t want to burn bridges so they decide to be hush. The midseason tournament is rigged and this sh*t was rigged. It’s become a soap opera and a story writing thing now. It’s all about headlines. This one they just couldn’t resist. A game winner by a moron that was suspended 25 games for doing the same thing over and over. Let’s reward his hardships with 20 free throws and a game winner cause the other team isn’t even allowed to guard him.
Trey is a great spot up shooter from deep. But his contributions beyond that need work, right now he is more of a 1 dimensional specialist than a super star. And he isn't getting enough shots up, but why is it everyone else's fault and not his? He needs to keep working off ball to get looks rather than just stand there.
I thought He just had bet on games? His free will.
That isn’t the same as NBA is forcing the refs to make sure a team wins. How come no retired refs have ever came out regarding the league forcing a specific team to win?
It’s two total different situations. Unless I am mistaken?
If there's one, there's a dozen. Donaghy himself admitted that his tip-offs included games he didn't even officiate himself, which only makes sense if he had some way of knowing how other refs were going to call things.
There is plenty of reason for thinking that, while the refs are probably not all corrupt, and not every game is fixed, big name, national TV games where there's narratives at play and big money on the line are tilted by the refs.
If you’re going to blame someone for rigging the game, blame Willie. He had no feel for the game in the second half. Exact opposite of the Charlotte game.
If Ja gets reffed the same way for the rest of the year, they may not lose a game.
Actually look up Donaghy. He didn't individually bet on games.
He gave bettors inside knowledge on games he didn't even officiate, because he knew how those games were being called.
He has openly said that the NBA would instruct them to call certain players differently than others, and that played into his rigging of games.
He didn't just individually bet, he was part of a large, ongoing game-rigging scheme with other refs for years. You think he was the only one?
Can’t blame him for this one. What do you tell your team when they can’t play defense or get fouls called for them? I don’t like Willie at all, but this right here was a very sad situation for any man to have to endure. He cares about his team and to watch them get battered by a referee to feed a script will really sting.
