There is going to be a time this summer when Team USA is on the verge of losing a colossal upset, and Anthony Edwards is going to look LeBron, Steph, KD in the eyes and say “give me the ball. now.”

The NBA needs to think about the casual fans tuning in for a game the first time all year. Do those whistles make them turn into a hardcore fan? No. It makes them think the NBA is stupid and soft. So stop allowing refs to be stupid and soft, and let the players show emotion. https://t.co/0B28KEttNV
