Gabrielle Union continues to question referees

Gabrielle Union continued to question NBA playoff referees on Twitter a week after making headlines for her criticism of officials during the Miami Heat’s series with the Charlotte Hornets.

Union, whose husband Dwyane Wade is the star of the Miami Heat, disagreed with some calls during Game 2 of the Heat’s playoff series with the Toronto Raptors on Thursday, a 96-92 overtime loss for Miami.

To start with, Union retweeted two people who questioned calls on Goran Dragic in the first half, including for this play.

Then she protested the crew’s decision to call moving screens:

O. Ok. We calling moving screens huh

— Gabrielle Union (@itsgabrielleu) May 6, 2016

Then she personally got on Derrick Collins for asking her about a Beyonce concert:

For the record… the ref #11… is the one who asked me why I wasn't at the Beyonce concert last week #ZeroConfidence

— Gabrielle Union (@itsgabrielleu) May 6, 2016

Nobody should tell Union that the same amount of fouls (21) were called on each team, and that includes some of the intentional fouls committed by Miami to put a struggling DeMar DeRozan on the line. She should also probably worry more about the 21 turnovers committed by the Heat than the officials.

Surprisingly, this was Union being tame compared to last week when she demanded the referees be fined.
