The NBA has fined Toronto Raptors head coach $25,000 for public criticism of officiating following the team’s Game 3 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.
In his post-game press conference, Casey initially appeared to be trying to bite his tongue, but he reached a point where he apparently decided it was worth the hit to his wallet to unload. And unload he did.
The Raptors had his back, with several players also complaining about the refereeing (as well as every person on Twitter). Nobody was willing to talk about it on Sunday, though.
The NBA also suspended Dahntay Jones for one game for his late-game shot below the belt on Bismack Biyombo. That’s a punishment that actually helps the Cavs, and the league would have been better off forcing Jones to start.
LeBron James received no flop warning for his WWE audition.
