They're trying to rig this lol that's 2 fouls (arguably techs as well) that SHOULD be on Draymond that were given to Amen, ridiculous.

That's a bad bet considering Butler basically admitted after Game 1 their job was done.

He couldn’t have avoided it because loser Draymond pushed his momentum forward

Draymond sent Butler to the locker room limping.

It's all fine unless players are getting injured, and we see that with teams like Rockets and Magic: Tatum, Porzingis and now Butler.

Santos completely ignored Podz coming wide open off a curl, instead passed to freaking Kevin Looney out on the perimeter. Hit the wide open man dude

Refs really have no clue on how they want to call the game.
