These two usual suspects dont play defense at all

The first to 100 rule better not let us down today/tonight.

I wish Towns just stop caring if he doesnt get calls. Obviously it ruins his game if does

Ant's doing it too now. It hurts more than helps.

That's not how professional refs should make their decisions. Whether Towns whines or not, shouldn't be a reason for a call or not.

That was really stupid by KAT.

Whats with all these offensive rebounds? I hope towns fouls out

Deciding that team chemistry was more important than adding rebounding or interior defense is looking like a really bad call.

I'm glad we have Ant to cheer for. Dudes a monster. I really am starting to hate cheering for dlo and Kat.

I'm glad you're not a ref and any ref who thinks that way is a flat out POS and a criminal. Game fixing carries a very heavy criminal penalty if I understand it correctly.

Nice sequence there.

Absolutely correct.

Dude, do you actually watch the games to enjoy them? It almost seems like you need to fulfill a complaint quota or something. Take it easy. Seriously.

Absolutely correct.

And people aren’t supposed to speed, or steal, or play on their phones at work…
But it happens.

Quick Google search on Game Fixing. It doesn't give the exact penalties, but maybe they vary.

Is fixing a game illegal?
The legal ramifications of fixing a game, both criminally and civilly would result in severe jail time and countless fines and restitution. The charges would range from basic fraud to racketeering and who knows how much else. There's a federal law against it in the USA.

Game fixing is a serious crime. A little more severe than goofing off at work a bit. Also people do get arrested for Stealing or Speeding if egregious enough.
