Didn't actually poke ref in the head, just looked like it from that other angle. Still interested to see if there are any reprocussions for cussing him out lol

Don’t touch the ref - you learn that as a kid once playing competitive sports

Probably just a fine, but should be 3-5 games.

Draymond Green would win PotW, however if he did this.

Blazers broadcast showed a replay that was from another angle and it doesn’t look like he touched him because the ref pulled back before any contact is made. NBA still may have a problem with it though for ref intimidating or something.

Suspension incoming.

Dumb shot. Good on the refs for not rewarding a guy trying to get a bail out foul instead of actually trying to score.

Prob an auto suspension...can't let guys touch the refs.

Not the most mature move by FVV. He's supposed to provide leadership to the young Rockets. I thought it would be Brooks who would do something like this. Not FVV.

Nah, the title of the video says he poked him in the head, therefore he poked him in the head. We all agree on this.

3 games for Fred and 3 games for the ref for flopping

He didn't touch him actually, but he cursed at them so probably a fine and maybe a small suspension.

It's a professional athlete poking a ref in the head because he rightfully didn't get a bailed out on his horrible flop.

People throw out "soft" that much on the most ridiculous things.

The ref union will be out for blood on this one.

I expect an apology out of Fred is incoming; he won't get another call this season otherwise.

Yeah, if he doesn't get heavy suspension, the refs will give him "special treatment" for the rest of the season. The special treatment may extend to the whole Rochets team.
