    In Game 3 the Rockets vs Timberwolves, Bill Kennedy continually was whistling for Timberwolves players just to get the Timberwolves their first victory in a decade. Bill Kennedy was a official during Game 5 Utah at OKC, Utah down 25 points, OKC season coming to an end but Bill Kennedy won't let it happen. Russell Westbrook getting the Jordan Treatment like he is the NBA Brand. Tony Brothers the David Stern Corrupted, Gambling Match Fixing era,looking like a Mugger. He hates James Harden to the fullest calling for 2 offensive foul against Boston, Marcus Smart is Bonafide Flopper, Marcus has been fined many time for Flopping. Tony Brothers was not Fined or Suspended, for that incident. Tony Brother is the Referee for Pacers vs Cavs Game 7, LeBron James needs help rigging games and more fouls. Calling Phantom Fouls on Pacers Players.

    Yep, if Brothers referees like he does almost every Rockets game (home or away).

    No whistle on opponents defenders while nailing Rockets defenders with tricky-tac fouls.

    Tony Brothers has an eye for Harden. I'm not sure why, maybe he thinks he gets away with too much with other officials, but he definitely punishes Harden. He's also a bad referee in general.

    Yeah, when I see Tony Brothers as the ref, I shake my head: Hope you brought your A+++ game, James. You're gonna need it.

    Just blow out the other team so the refs don’t have a say on the output of the game.

    David Stern's greatest achievement as commissioner was sweeping the Donaghy thing under the rug.

    Absolutely no way he was the only crooked one.

    Foster AND Brothers?

    Rockets better be on fire from 3 pt range because there won't be any calls to the basket and Mitchell/Ingles are going to shoot 10+ free throws each.

    Tony Brothers, yuck! He helped Utah win a game against the Rox (ironically, Game 2, in Houston) back in 2008!!

    Someone really needs to do a study about teams' win-loss records in games with certain refs vs their overall win-loss records for the same time span.

    You can be assured that Morey has all the data, and has already presented it to the NBA.

    This will be one of those games that tests Harden's mental toughness.
    He's going to have to play through obvious missed calls and not allow the refs to get in his head.

    If I'm not mistaken there was a game Tony Brothers completely screwed us over with Mchale coaching here. It was CLEARLY obvious he was working against us
