EDWARDS SLAPS ‘TERRIBLE’ REFEREES OVER OFFICIATING, SPARES WOMAN REF
Edwards slams two of the three “terrible” male referees over the officiating, but he spared the lone female official.
Furthermore, the All-Star guard cited some “ticky-tack” fouls referees Sean wright and Sean Corbin have called against him or his teammates.
Moreover, Edwards questioned why he is penalized with fouls for “being stronger than my opponent.”
“They’re f—-ing terrible. All of them. Besides the woman,” Edwards clarified.
“They’re just sensitive and they’re terrible. They never gave us the (benefit of the doubt), they penalizre me and (Julius Randle) for being stronger every night, don’t get no calls,” he added.
‘ANT’ SAYS WOLVES ‘WEREN’T GETTING NOTHING’ DESPITE DUBS GETTING MORE FOULS
Moreover, the player also known as “Ant” says the Wolves “weren’t getting nothing” from the officiating despite the Dubs getting more fouls.
Furthermore, Edwards only wanted a fair shake, particularly if he is being bumped and no call ws made.
“They (opponents) bump me the same time they bump everybody e;lse. and I never get the calls,” “Ant” said.
“I don’t go what’s got to go down, but something’s got to happen,” he added.
STEEPER FINE POSSIBLE AFTER LATEST ‘ANT’ COMMENTS
Furthermore, a steeper possible fine looms after Edwards’ latest tirade.
Moreover, the guard getting penalized was nothing new to him this season.
Edwards was previously slapped a USD40,000 fine for publicly criticizing the referees in January last seson.
Incidentally, the Warriors actually were called for more fouls at 23 compared to the 18 on the Wolves.
Minnesota also shot more free throws (25) than Golden State (23).
Meanwhile, Stephen Curry scored 11 straight points of his 31 in the fourth quarter to help the Warriors hold on to the win.
