Marcus Smart WENT OFF on referee James Williams after he ejected Thiero for NO reason. This is the same ref Devin Booker called out 👀

James Williams Scott Foster, and Tony Brothers are some crooked referees been doing dirty work the whole playoffs

James Williams has to go. That 3 games in a row he’s on the wrong side of a controversy.

Ngl the day someone actual just slap the shit out one of these old niggas imma laugh

Book was right. Shit looks like the wwe with this dude on the court..

these mfing refs have serious main character syndrome, they think the fans pay the tickets to watch them, fuck them and fuck adam silver

I’m a rockets fan and I was confused why players were ejected. I just don’t see why refs don’t let teams play hard. Bring back old school tuffness back.

To be honest, all ejections have some sort of discourse around it. This one just seems like he got his feelings hurt just ejected them both out of anger what the fuck😭

Even the Rockets player have no idea wth was going on. We have players publicly called out refs in a playoff only for him to pull this a few days after with no punishment. And remember before some of y’all defending him, it might be your favorite player tomorrow

marcus smart has been on the other end of these calls his whole career so when he goes off you know it's bad. james williams ejecting thiero with booker already on record calling him out is wild. some refs just have beef with certain franchises and the whole league knows it

You know that shit is weak AF when even the Rockets players are confused.

Obviously Thiero was bringing the needed physicality for the Lakers and the refs couldn’t allow a Lakers win.

These ego refs need to be held accountable for shit like this!! That MF could have never been a ref in the 80's and 90's.. In some games every other play was a swing, kick, punch etc. And they just played on. These two men didn't do shit to justify being ejected. Especially with one-minute left in the game. And on top of that both of those young men based on how many technicals they've had during the season can be fined up to $5,000.. I don't give a damn how much money I make, I'm not giving up 5k off someone's bullshit ass ego!! And then if you talk about it in a press conference, to the media, or on a podcast, etc. The NBA will fine you even more based on the dumbass CBA they signed. Basically not allowing any official to be criticized, whether right, or wrong! This shit is crazy! And this has been happening all year around the league! The NBA needs to do something about this bullshit!

He wants to be the star to often and he’s spoiling great games

been saying he is one of the worst refs in the league since like 2020...

Good because they did a TERRIBLE job especially that clown. The Ayton F2 was ridiculous. If anybody breathrd on Sengun it was a foul. Damn shame.

@NBA you need call this ref , hes feeling is hurt everytime his ego is to the roof.

NBA refs have hit a new low this season. Every game, every team, every night from tip off to last buzzer.

Lame ass ref was going for 50 last night 🫩 weak ass niggas think they program no one came to watch you zebra shirt

huh? nothing happened and ejection? this ref needs to undergo seminar

first it was Scott foster now it’s James Williams

You mean the worst ref in the playoffs so far, the guy on a power trip, yeah no shit

This ref is getting as bad as Joey Crawford was back in the day, I remember him Teeing up Tim Duncan for smiling while he was sitting on the bench.

He shouldn't be doing playoff games @NBA

The league needs to start holding these refs accountable. Ejecting a player for 'no reason' ruins the integrity of the game. James Williams has been on a power trip for a minute now. 🙄

One of the crazier ejections. He got ejected because he got pushed ??

That ref is just doing his job. I know Booker is a sore loser but Smart is better than this

Not even a lakers fan but bro was terrible the whole night

The ref is fixing games

FIRE THIS GUCCI MANE AHH REF NOW @NBA @NBAOfficial

even the other referees were wondering what happened 😆😆😆

Why doesn't the NBAPA get involved with these officials.

Hitler FC ass ref what you expect

Thiero did absolutely nothing lol
