Tristan Thompson Says He's Fed Up With 'The Referee Sh*t'
Tristan Thompson is not thrilled with the officiating thus far in the NBA Finals. Thompson’s Cleveland Cavaliers got smoked by the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 Sunday night, falling 122-103. When talking to the media after the game, Thompson let fly on the officials.

I’m on record saying the officiating in Game 1 was horrific and legitimately changed the game. Game 2 wasn’t much better, though it almost certainly didn’t impact the outcome of the game.
Still, the Cavs aren’t the only ones complaining about the officials. Twitter was up-in-arms during Game 2:
I must confess, the @cavs actually do have an argument today. That was a foul in the open court for @KingJames. It should’ve been called. Ty Lue didn’t deserve a tech. And these refs are missing quite a few calls that should favor them.

It’s hard to try and win games when the refs won’t let you. That was ridiculous. #NBAFinals

Draymond screams in the ref’s face. Acceptable.

Hope the Cavs get the same calls in Cleveland that the Warriors are getting at Oracle.

What if Ayesha Curry was right that the league is absolutely rigged for money but maybe in favor of her husband
